Quarterly Trend (Last 5 Quarters)
| Quarter | Sales (₹Cr) | Op Profit | OPM% | Net Profit | EPS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mar 2025 | 937 | 196 | 21% | 123 | 4.06 |
| Jun 2025 | 942 | 199 | 21% | 137 | 4.52 |

| Mar 2026 | 1,537 | 267 | 17% | 172 | 5.65 |
The Q4 FY26 quarterly revenue of ₹1,537 Cr is larger than the entire FY22 revenue of ₹685 Cr — a 7.6x growth in 3 years.
⚠️ Other Income Check
- Other Income (FY26): ₹70 Cr on PAT of ₹592 Cr
- OI as % of PAT: 11.8% — Low. No Core P/E adjustment needed.
4. Balance Sheet & Cash Flow
| Item (₹Cr) | FY22 | FY23 | FY24 | FY25 | FY26 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Borrowings | 271 | 347 | 588 | 1,366 | 2,302 |
| Net Debt | -43 | -10 | +379 | +1,157 | +2,133 |
| D/E Ratio | 0.28 | 0.36 | 0.38 | 0.74 | 1.04 |
| Debtor Days | 297 | 213 | 176 | 204 | 115 |
| WC Days | 178 | 129 | 108 | 114 | 114 |
Cash Flow — The Key Risk
| Metric (₹Cr) | FY22 | FY23 | FY24 | FY25 | FY26 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CFO (Operating) | 28 | 86 | -152 | -443 | -203 |
| FCF | 13 | 62 | -224 | -556 | -484 |
| CFO/OP Ratio | 64% | 129% | -91% | -82% | -3% |
⚠️ Negative FCF for 3 consecutive years (FY24-FY26) — the single biggest risk.
However — this is GROWTH burn, not DISTRESS burn:
- CFO has already improved from -₹443 Cr (FY25) to -₹203 Cr (FY26)
- Debtor days collapsed 204→115 — cash conversion cycle accelerating
- Management expects positive operating cash flow by Q1-Q2 FY28
- Capex of ₹281 Cr is investment in AMISP capacity, not operational losses
Working capital trajectory: The company spent ~80-85% of incremental revenue on WC in FY25, ~40% in FY26, and expects ~20% in FY27 — the trend is clearly improving.
5. Shareholding Pattern
| Holder | Jun'23 | Mar'24 | Mar'25 | Mar'26 | Trend |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Promoters | 50.42% | 42.66% | 39.38% | 39.34% | 🔴 -11.1% in 3Y |
| FIIs | 2.67% | 16.87% | 22.38% | 18.89% | 🟢 Surged then cooling |
| DIIs | 5.34% | 5.01% | 3.78% | 3.34% | ⚠️ Gradual decline |
| Public | 41.56% | 35.46% | 34.45% | 38.37% | Rise in recent quarters |
| Shareholders | 53K | 1.07L | 1.73L | 1.62L | Peaked at 1.84L |
Key observations:
- Promoter dilution — most from Mar'24 QIP (₹586 Cr) which diluted 50%→42.66%. Since then, promoters are stable at ~39.3% for 6 consecutive quarters. This is not active promoter selling.
- FIIs surged from 2.67%→22.79% (peak Dec'24), moderated to 18.89% — profit booking, not panic exit.
- DIIs gradually declining 5.34%→3.34% — modestly concerning.
- Shareholder count peaked at 1.84L, declined to 1.62L — weak hands exiting, healthy structure formation for the long term.

Key Observations
- Price (₹313.70) sits between SMA 50 (₹314.82) and SMA 20 (₹319.50) — critical juncture
- Bullish structure: Price above EMA 50/100/200 and SMA 100/200 — long-term trend intact
- Short-term weakness: Below all 10/20/30 EMAs/SMAs — near-term pressure
- RSI 47.91: Neutral, room on both sides
- Volume: 15.38M vs 30D avg 3.49M = 4.4x normal — exceptional activity confirming block deal
- Performance: 1W: -10.27%, 1M: -0.33%, 3M: +36.77%, 1Y: -16.18%
- Analyst 1Y Target: ₹445 (+41.86% upside)
Bias: 🟡 Neutral (8 Sell / 9 Neutral / 9 Buy). A decisive move above ₹320 (SMA 20/EMA 10-30 zone) would be the first bullish confirmation. Below ₹297 (SMA 200), the structure weakens significantly.
7. Order Book, Market Opportunity & Management Guidance
Order Book — ₹25,173 Cr (Mar'26, net of taxes)
| Component | Value | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| AMISP Platform (SPVs + GIC) | ~₹23,000 Cr | 8-9 year concessions |
| — Capex component | ~₹16,000 Cr | — |
| — Opex/O&M component (annuity) | ~₹7,000 Cr | — |
| Regular Meter Orders + Exports | ~₹2,000 Cr | Shorter cycle |
| Total | ₹25,173 Cr | 5.3x trailing revenue |
O&M Annuity — Key Future Catalyst
The O&M annuity will transform Genus from a capital-intensive project business to a high-margin recurring revenue model:
| Period | O&M Revenue |
|---|---|
| FY26 Actual | ~₹150 Cr |
| In 2-3 years (target) | ~₹800 Cr/yr |
| Sustained level | 5-7 years at ~₹800 Cr/yr |
Market Opportunity
- India's total consumer meters: 31-32 crore | Already tendered: ~15 crore | Already installed: ~7 crore
- Genus market share: 22-23% as AMISP, >30% including meter manufacturing
- Expected FY27 tender pipeline: ~9 crore meters (Haryana, MP, Punjab, Tamil Nadu, Delhi, West Bengal, Kerala)
- Management maintains selective bidding — return-focused, not volume-chasing
Management Guidance (May 2026 Concall)
| Topic | Detail |
|---|---|
| FY27 Revenue Guidance | ₹6,000-6,500 Cr (+26-37%) |
| FY27 EBITDA Margin | ~18% (guided down from 20.3% — raw material headwinds) |
| Cash Flow Positive | Expected by Q1-Q2 FY28 |
| Meters Installed | Crossed 1 Cr under RDSS; 87L installed, 30L in Q4 alone |
| OGL Status | All 24 AMISP projects achieved Operational Go-Live |
| RF Mesh | Interoperable with other meters; Genus never paid royalty |
| Software Division | "This is the beginning of the software division" — energy data platform play |
⚠️ Key Cautions from Concall:
- FY27 EBITDA margin guided lower to ~18% due to raw material inflation (petroleum, chips) — fixed-price contracts = no pass-through
- Cash flow positive pushed to early FY28 (market hoped for FY27)
- Net debt increased from ₹605 Cr to ₹1,573 Cr (peak expected ₹1,900-2,000 Cr)

| Avalon Tech | ₹1,794 | 106.1 | 11,986 | 19.5% | +40% | +69% |
Genus trades at a 48% discount to Industry P/E (16.2 vs 31.0) despite being among the fastest growers (+106% PAT YoY). Only Emmvee (21.8x) and Waaree (21.4x) have similar P/Es among peers.

11. Valuation Framework (Howard Marks)
| Method | Result | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| Earnings Yield (6.17%) vs Risk-Free Rate (6.5%) | -33 bps spread | ❌ FAIL |
| PEG Ratio | 16.2 / 173% = 0.09 | ✅ PASS |
| Margin of Safety (Book Value ₹72.9 vs Price ₹314) | -331% | ❌ FAIL |
| Earnings Power Value (EPV ₹125 vs Price ₹314) | 2.5x EPV | ❌ FAIL |
Composite: 1/5 — Standard value frameworks fail for hyper-growth companies. The PEG of 0.09 is the standout metric.
Forward Valuation (FY27E)
| Scenario | FY27 Rev | FY27 PAT (Est) | Forward P/E | Target |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bear | ₹5,500 Cr | ₹550 Cr | 14x | ₹253 |
| Base | ₹6,200 Cr | ₹720 Cr | 18x | ₹425 |
| Bull | ₹6,500 Cr | ₹800 Cr | 22x | ₹578 |
At ₹314, the implied forward FY27E P/E is just 13.3x — extraordinarily cheap for a company growing revenue at 95%+ with ₹25,173 Cr order book.
12. Key Risks & Concerns
| Risk | Severity | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Negative FCF (3 yrs) | 🔴 HIGH | Growth burn, not distress, but requires monitoring |
| Rising Net Debt | ⚠️ MEDIUM | D/E 1.04, peak at ~1.9-2.0x — manageable at ₹6,500 Cr revenue |
| Promoter Dilution -11.1% | ⚠️ MEDIUM | QIP-driven, stable 6 quarters — no active selling |
| FY27 Margin Compression | ⚠️ MEDIUM | 20.3%→18% — raw material inflation, no pass-through |
| Govt Dependency | ⚠️ MEDIUM | 90%+ linked to RDSS — policy change risk |
| DII Slow Exit | ⚠️ MEDIUM | 5.3%→3.3% over 3 years |
| Technical Weakness | ⚠️ MEDIUM | Below SMA 20/50 |
| FII Cooling | 🟢 LOW | 22.8%→18.9% — profit booking |
| Chiswick Exit | 🟢 LOW | Fund expiry, not thesis change |
13. Bull vs Bear Case
🟢 The Bull Case
- ₹25,173 Cr order book (5.3x revenue) — 8+ year visibility, India's #1 smart meter play
- PEG 0.09 — 16.2x P/E with 173% 3Y profit CAGR is statistically one of the best in India
- O&M annuity ramp ₹150 Cr→₹800 Cr will transform cash flow profile
- Massive TAM: Only 7/31-32 Cr meters installed, RDSS extended to 2028
- Madhu Kela at ₹290 — smart money validation
- Industry P/E 31x vs Stock P/E 16x — potential rerating as cash flow turns positive
🔴 The Bear Case
- -₹484 Cr FCF — 3 years negative, positive only expected by FY28
- Net debt from ₹0→~₹2,000 Cr in 3 years, peak still ahead
- Margin compression (20.3%→18%) — fixed-price contracts + no pass-through
- Promoter dilution (-11.1%) — QIP-driven but still net dilution
- Chiswick fully exited — ₹300 Cr of foreign capital left
- FII/DII cooling — institutional holders reducing from peak
14. Final Verdict
🟢 Favorable with Caution — Genus Power at ₹314 (13.3x forward FY27E P/E, PEG 0.09) with ₹25,173 Cr order book, 23.9% ROCE, and 29% ROE is statistically one of the most undervalued growth stories in the Indian market.
The cash flow negativity is the key risk, but the trajectory is improving: CFO -₹443 Cr→-₹203 Cr, debtor days 204→115, and management expects positive FCF by early FY28. The Madhu Kela block deal at ₹290 provides a defined support level.
Best for investors willing to tolerate 12-18 months of cash flow negativity while the O&M annuity builds. Not suitable for short-term momentum until ₹321 (SMA 20/50 zone) is reclaimed.
🎯 Trade & Investment Plan
| Timeframe | Entry | SL | Target 1 | Target 2 | R/R |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Swing (2-8 weeks) | ₹290-310 | ₹275 | ₹350 | ₹385 | ~1:2.5 |
| Long-term (6-18 mo) | ₹280-310 (accumulate) | — | ₹425+ (Base case) | ₹578 (Bull) | — |
Key trigger to watch: Q1 FY27 results (~Oct'26) — revenue crossing ₹1,600 Cr with O&M contribution
15. What Would Change Our View
