1. At a Glance – “Cheap Stock… But Nobody Excited?”
Filatex India is sitting at ₹39, with a market cap of ₹1,733 Cr and a P/E of just 9.38 — cheaper than most textile peers and even some FMCG soaps. Yet the stock has fallen 17% in 3 months and 21% in 6 months.
Now look at Q3 FY26:
- Revenue: ₹1,049.7 Cr
- PAT: ₹55.34 Cr
- Profit growth: +17% YoY
- OPM improved to ~9%
So profits are rising, margins are improving… but sales are flat.
And here comes the most interesting part — management itself admitted that 1H was weak, but Q3 showed recovery signs.

- ₹235 Cr capacity expansion
- ₹85 Cr steam monetisation
So ask yourself:
👉 Is this a turnaround in progress… or just more money being thrown into a low-return business?
