1. At a Glance
Pace Digitek is that kid who cracked IIT, topped CAT, and still hasn’t figured out how to manage pocket money.
Market cap of ₹4,166 Cr, stock price ₹193, ROCE a gym-bro level 41.3%, ROE 31.4%, and a P/E of 16.6x — all screaming “value infrastructure play”.

Latest Q3 FY26 results?
- Revenue: ₹644 Cr
- PAT: ₹78.8 Cr
- YoY sales growth: 13.5%
- YoY profit growth: 8%
And the real flex: an order book of ₹7,633 Cr, nearly 3.4x FY25 revenues, with ₹3,852 Cr fresh orders in a single year.

- 41% ROCE
- Net margins above 11%
- 81.8% revenue CAGR (3 years)
But before we start distributing garlands, remember this:
