1. At a Glance
Let’s start with the punchline —the bag maker’s profits got bagged.Shree Tirupati Balajee FIBC Ltd (STB FIBC), the Indore-based manufacturer of HDPE and PP woven sacks and flexible bulk containers, just dropped its Q2 FY26 numbers, and the results are a mix of durability, duct tape, and drama.
For the quarter ended September 2025, revenue came in at ₹93.55 crore — down 10.4% QoQ — while PAT deflated sharply by 73.6% to ₹1.87 crore. The stock, priced at ₹817, trades at a sky-high P/E of90.4, because clearly, gravity is optional in SME land. Market cap? ₹828 crore. Book value? ₹92.9 per share. Return on capital employed sits at a decent 15.5%, but when your earnings yield is 2.28%, the “premium” is clearly on hope, not cash.
Despite repeated profits, the company hasn’t paid a single rupee in dividends — because apparently, holding cash is the new investor reward. Promoter holding remains steady at66.2%, while debt stands at ₹96.7 crore, making thedebt-to-equity ratio a confident 1.03.
So, what do we have here? A company that buildsbig bagsfor industrial and export use — but its financials just sprang a leak. Let’s unpack what’s really going on.
2. Introduction
Welcome to the world of industrial packaging — where everything is flexible, except margins. Shree Tirupati Balajee FIBC Ltd has been around since 2009, making massive woven sacks and jumbo bags for storing and transporting bulk products like cement, chemicals, and food grains. Think of it as the muscle behind modern logistics: those giant cube-shaped bags you see in factories? That’s STB’s playground.
But FY26 hasn’t been particularly kind. Despite stable revenue and export reach across 55 countries, the bottom line slipped faster than a PP bag on a wet factory floor. Operating margins, once at 19% in the pandemic boom of FY23, have halved this quarter.
Meanwhile, the company’s rights issue of ₹25.73 crore approved in August 2025 aims to strengthen the balance sheet, expand capacity, and perhaps patch the growing holes in working capital.
And just when things were looking stuffed enough, a director resigned — citing “pre-occupation” — the corporate equivalent of “it’s not you, it’s me.”
Still, STB continues to be ISO 22000, 9001, and 14001 certified — which sounds great until you realize the real test isn’t certification; it’s sustained cash flow.
3. Business Model – WTF Do They Even Do?
Let’s make it simple: STB FIBC makes industrial bags. But not your average carry bag for onions. We’re talking aboutFIBCs (Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers)— those one-ton capacity sacks used to move cement, polymers, fertilizers, and food grains worldwide.
Their product range includes everything fromUN-certified conductive bagstoform-stable baffle bagsthat don’t collapse like government projects. They also maketarpaulin rolls, container liners, andHDPE woven fabric, which is like the textile of the industrial world.
The company boasts an annual capacity of 8,000 MT for FIBC/Jumbo Bags and 4,000 MT for fabric — impressive until you notice that utilization swings widely depending on export orders.
And yes, they export to 55+ countries across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa — including the UK, Spain, and Germany. Basically, if there’s a factory storing bulk goods, there’s a chance one of STB’s bags is sitting there quietly doing its job — unlike the company’s share price last quarter.
Domestically,93% of revenuescome from the Indian market and only7% from exports, which is ironic for a company that calls itself an “exporter.”
So yes, the business model is straightforward — manufacture, sell, and repeat — but like any packaging product, it’s all about the margins. And those have been getting thinner than their polypropylene yarn.
4. Financials Overview
| Metric | Latest Qtr (Sep 2025) | Same Qtr Last Year (Sep 2024) | Prev Qtr (Jun 2025) | YoY % | QoQ % |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue (₹ Cr) | 93.6 | 104.0 | 104.0 | -10.0% | -10.4% |
| EBITDA (₹ Cr) | 6.0 | 13.0 | 13.0 | -53.8% | -53.8% |
| PAT (₹ Cr) | 1.87 | 7.00 | 7.19 | -73.3% | -73.6% |
| EPS (₹) | 1.85 | 7.00 | 7.19 | -73.6% | -74.2% |
Annualized EPS = 1.85 × 4 = ₹7.4 → giving aP/E of ~110.So yes, P/E 90.4 from screener looks generous; mathematically, even that’s optimistic.
The earnings compression is real — sales down
10%, profits down 74%, and yet the stock is up 63% in the last 3 months. Either investors know something we don’t, or we’re in the SME version of Schrödinger’s rally.
5. Valuation Discussion – Fair Value Range Only
Method 1: P/E Multiple Approach
Industry average P/E = 22.1Company P/E = 90.4 (unsustainably high)If normalized to 25×, fair value ≈ ₹7.4 EPS × 25 = ₹185If we stretch optimism to 35×, fair value ≈ ₹260👉 Fair Value Range (P/E method): ₹185–₹260
Method 2: EV/EBITDA
EV = ₹924 Cr; EBITDA (TTM) ≈ ₹24 Cr → EV/EBITDA = 38.5×Industry avg = 10–15×At 12×, EV = ₹288 Cr → Equity Value ≈ ₹192–200 Cr → Price ≈ ₹190–210
Method 3: DCF (Discounted Cash Flow)
Assuming free cash flow grows 8% for 5 years and terminal growth 3%, WACC 12%:PV(FCF) → range ₹180–₹250 per share

6. What’s Cooking – News, Triggers, Drama
The past year has been more dramatic than a Zee TV serial.
- Rights Issue Mayhem:In August 2025, NSE gave in-principle approval for a ₹25.73 crore rights issue. Because who doesn’t like asking shareholders for cash right after profits nosedive?
- Boardroom Shuffle:Director Amit Agarwal resigned citing “pre-occupation.” Translation: “Things are messy, I’m out.” Replaced by Vinod Verma at the subsidiary STB International Pvt Ltd.
- Subsidiary Expansion:STB International got a 21,000 sq. mtr. land allotment in Pithampur for new manufacturing capacity. More land, more bags, maybe more debt.
- Rights Issue Again:Earlier in Dec 2024, the board had approved a ₹49 crore rights issue plan with increased capital from ₹11 Cr to ₹44 Cr. Looks like dilution is the new diversification.
- Promoter Group Listing:In Sept 2024, its holding company — Shree Tirupati Balajee Agro Trading — got listed. The entire group seems to be turning public one entity at a time, like a reality show titledThe Great Balajee Unbagged.
