1. At a Glance – The Packaging Plot Thickens
Shree Rama Multi-Tech Ltd (SRMTL) is that low-profile packaging company which quietly went from “Wasn’t this the loss making one” to “wait, ROE 40%??” while the market was busy chasing EV chargers and AI buzzwords.
Let’s get the quick masala out first:
- Market Cap: ₹742 Cr
- CMP: ₹55.6
- Stock P/E: 13.2 (Industry PE ~18.4)
- ROE: 40.4% (yes, forty)
- ROCE: 15.3%
- Debt to Equity: 0.13 (basically gym-bod balance sheet)
- Sales (TTM): ₹236 Cr
- PAT (TTM): ₹56.6 Cr
- 3-Month Return: ~1% (market is still yawning)
- 1-Year Return: ~47% (late realisation party)
Latest Q3 FY26 (Dec 2025) numbers:
- Revenue: ₹59.85 Cr
- PAT: ₹5.53 Cr
- EPS: ₹0.41
And behind this boring name sits Nirma Group holding 61.57% stake. Yes, that Nirma. The detergent that bullied Surf Excel before memes existed.
Question before we go deeper:
Why is a boring laminated tube manufacturer suddenly throwing elite ROE numbers? 🤔
2. Introduction – From Financial ICU to Packaging Gym Bro
If SRMTL were a Bollywood character, it would be the guy who was written off in the first half and returns in interval with six-pack abs and background music.
Between FY14–FY22, this company:
- Made losses
- Had negative reserves
- ROCE flirted with 0%
- Cash flows played hide-and-seek
Then suddenly post FY23, things changed:
- Rights issue cleaned debt mess
- Operating margins started flexing
- Capacity utilisation improved
- Nirma tightened the screws (in a good way)
By FY25:
- OPM reached ~18%
- PAT exploded to ₹51 Cr
- EPS jumped to ₹4.24
- ROE hit 40%
This is not a startup miracle.
This is boring packaging discipline + debt reduction + operating leverage.
Now ask yourself:
Is this sustainable or just one lucky toothpaste squeeze?
