3. Financial Performance
3A. Annual P&L (Consolidated, ₹ Cr)
| Particulars | Mar'21 | Mar'22 | Mar'23 | Mar'25 | Mar'26 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sales | 224 | 335 | 456 | 782 | 1,070 |
| Expenses | 137 | 197 | 199 | 452 | 671 |
| Operating Profit | 87 | 138 | 257 | 330 | 400 |
| OPM % | 39% | 41% | 56% | 42% | 37% |
| Other Income | 29 | 37 | 30 | 41 | 21 |
| Interest | 26 | 17 | 17 | 26 | 37 |
| Depreciation | 122 | 118 | 121 | 129 | 132 |
| PBT | -32 | 39 | 149 | 217 | 253 |
| Tax % | -30% | 26% | 25% | 28% | 27% |
| Net Profit | -22 | 29 | 112 | 157 | 184 |
| EPS (₹) | -2.59 | 3.39 | 12.94 | 18.08 | 21.29 |
| Dividend Payout % | 0% | 15% | 15% | 11% | 9% |
Key Takeaways:
- Sales CAGR (FY21-FY26): 36.7% — remarkable recovery from ₹224 Cr to ₹1,070 Cr
- PAT turnaround: From loss of ₹22 Cr (FY21) to record ₹184 Cr (FY26) — demonstrable operating leverage
- OPM compression: 56% (FY23) → 37% (FY26) — this is the key structural concern. The margin compression is driven by:
- Business mix shift — lower-margin Wind EPC (10-12% EBITDA) growing faster than high-margin crane rental (50-55% EBITDA)
- Yield compression: ABY fell from 2.20% (FY24 peak) to 2.12% (FY26) — competitive pressure
- Cost inflation: Employee costs up significantly due to aggressive hiring
- Interest cost doubled from ₹17 Cr (FY23) to ₹37 Cr (FY26) — debt-funded capex cycle
- Dividend payout declining — 15% → 9%, conserving cash for capex
3B. Quarterly Trend (₹ Cr) — 13 Quarters
| Quarter | Sales | OP | OPM% | NP | EPS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dec'22 | 122 | 75 | 61% | 35 | 4.01 |
| Mar'23 | 127 | 77 | 60% | 34 | 3.92 |
| Jun'23 | 146 | 88 | 60% | 42 | 4.83 |
| Sep'23 | 140 | 86 | 62% | 37 | 4.30 |
| Dec'23 | 167 | 115 | 69% | 61 | 7.08 |
| Jun'24 | 151 | 74 | 49% | 40 | 4.68 |
| Sep'24 | 156 | 73 | 47% | 29 | 3.36 |
| Dec'24 | 208 | 76 | 37% | 33 | 3.82 |
| Mar'25 | 267 | 107 | 40% | 54 | 6.22 |
| Jun'25 | 273 | 100 | 36% | 50 | 5.81 |
| Sep'25 | 210 | 81 | 38% | 36 | 4.19 |
| Dec'25 | 236 | 85 | 36% | 29 | 3.35 |
| Mar'26 | 351 | 134 | 38% | 69 | 7.95 |
Key Takeaways:
- OPM collapse: From peak 69% (Dec'23) down to 36-38% (last 6 quarters) — structural shift
- Revenue lumpy: Q4 is always the strongest quarter (₹351 Cr) — seasonal wind season
- Q3 is the weakest (Dec'25: ₹29 Cr NP) — extended monsoons delayed execution
- FY26 full-year EPS ₹21.29 — implies ~18% YoY growth over FY25's ₹18.08
- Q4 FY26 EPS ₹7.95 — almost double the quarterly run rate, confirming Q4 dominance
- Revenue doubled from Dec'22 (₹122 Cr) to Mar'26 (₹351 Cr) — strong topline story
3C. OPM Trend Analysis — The Critical Chart
The OPM story deserves its own analysis:
| Period | OPM | Key Driver |
|---|---|---|
| Dec'22-Jun'23 | 60-62% | Pure crane rental, high utilization |
| Sep'23-Dec'23 | 62-69% | Peak cycle — best yields + utilization |
| Jun'24-Sep'24 | 47-49% | Wind EPC scale-up begins, margin dilution |
| Dec'24-Mar'25 | 37-40% | Full Wind EPC impact + competitive pressure |
| Jun'25-Mar'26 | 36-38% | New normal — stabilized at lower level |
The 30 percentage point OPM compression (69% → 37%) is the single most important factor for investors. The market has two views:
- Bull case: This is mix-driven; crane rental margins remain strong (50-55%), EPC will improve with scale
- Bear case: Core crane rental yields are compressing permanently due to competition; EPC will remain low-margin

- Borrowings quadrupled from ₹167 Cr (FY22) → ₹674 Cr (FY26) — heavy capex cycle for fleet expansion
- Net Debt to Equity: 0.47x (FY26) — comfortable but rising
- Fixed Assets nearly doubled to ₹1,428 Cr — reflects 485+ crane fleet buildout
- Other Assets ballooned to ₹819 Cr (up from ₹220 Cr in FY23) — mostly trade receivables (debtor days 92.3, up from 51.2)

Key Takeaways:
- CFO is positive and growing — ₹278 Cr in FY26, up 72% from FY25
- FCF negative for 2 years (-₹75 Cr, -₹98 Cr) — capex outpacing operating cash generation
- CFI of -₹418 Cr in FY26 — reflects ₹474 Cr total capex (₹373 Cr India + ₹101 Cr KSA subsidiary)
- CFF of ₹182 Cr — debt-funded capex (borrowings increased ₹236 Cr)
- Cash conversion quality is good — CFO/OP at 85% indicates reasonable cash realization from operations
- Working capital strain: Debtor days increased from 51.2 (FY23) to 92.3 (FY26) — this is the main drain on cash
6. Shareholding Pattern (Corrected Mar'XX Labels)
| Category | Mar'22 | Mar'23 | Mar'24 | Mar'25 | Mar'26 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Promoters | 47.25% | 47.25% | 47.25% | 47.25% | 47.25% |

Key Takeaways:
- Promoter holding rock solid at 47.25% — No dilution for 5+ years. Extremely stable. ✅
- No pledge — Zero promoter pledge ✅
- FIIs peaked at 2.49% (Mar'24) but pulled back to 1.48% — institutional interest is low
- DIIs dropped sharply from 3.25% (Mar'25) → 1.30% (Mar'26) — significant institutional exit
- Public holding rose to 49.97% — retail dominated, institutions fleeing
- Shareholder base grew 128% in 2 years (from 27K to 60K) but down from peak 68K — retail participation increasing then cooling
- Low institutional interest is a red flag — FII+DII combined is just 2.78%

8. Management Commentary
From Q4 FY2026 Earnings Call (May 22, 2026):
On Demand Environment:
"India utilization is back to 87%. The second half of this financial year has been better than the first half. We had a sluggish first half due to extended monsoon, general elections, and an overall slowdown in government spending."
On Middle East Operations:
"Notwithstanding the situation in West Asia, we had a utilization of 90% in March 2026. We are still generating a yield upwards of 4.5%. We have an inquiry pipeline of $50 million for the next 24 months."
On Margin Compression:
"Our crane rental margins in India are between 50-55%. The blended margin is lower because of the EPC business which has 10-12% margins. Over the long run, both India and Saudi business will be on par with blended EBITDA between 50-52.5% on the crane rental business."
On Saudi Expansion:
"Saudi will start adding significant contribution to EBITDA at the group level in the second half of the next financial year."
On Capex:
"Total planned capex of ₹474 crore for FY26. Going forward, we will continue to invest in fleet expansion backed by customer orders."
Elevate 2030 Vision:
Transformation from single-business India crane rental company to diversified heavy-lift and EPC solutions provider with global presence across India, Middle East, and Africa.

11. Forward PE Valuation
EPS Trajectory
| Year | EPS (₹) | Growth | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| FY21 | -2.59 | — | COVID + industry downturn |
| FY22 | 3.39 | Turnaround | Recovery begins |
| FY23 | 12.94 | +282% | Peak cycle |
| FY24 | Est. ~15 | +16% | Normalization |
| FY25 | 18.08 | +21% | Steady growth |
| FY26 | 21.29 | +18% | Record high |
Valuation at CMP ₹411
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Trailing P/E (FY26) | 19.3x |
| Forward P/E (FY27E at 15% growth) | 16.8x |
| Forward P/E (FY27E at 20% growth) | 16.1x |
| EV/EBITDA (FY26) | ~9.3x |
| P/BV | 2.72x |
| Dividend Yield | 0.49% |
Fair Value Estimates
| Source | Valuation | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Alpha Spread (DCF) | ₹418.65 (base case) | Fairly valued near CMP |
| Graham Number | ₹269 | Below Graham — not deep value |
| PEG (0.76 x 19.3 = 14.7x) | Suggests undervaluation | PEG < 1 is attractive |
| EV/EBITDA (9.3x) | Reasonable for capex-heavy business | |
| Historical Average P/E (10yr) | ~15x | Current 19.3x is above historical |
Credibility Check
- No active analyst coverage — the stock has no institutional price targets from major brokerages
- Alpha Spread DCF values the stock at ₹418.65 — essentially at CMP
- PEG of 0.76 is attractive but must be read with caution — FY23's 282% EPS growth distorts the 3-year CAGR
- Key question: Is FY26 EPS of ₹21.29 a peak or can it grow to ₹25+?
- Crane rental is cyclical — FY23 was peak margin (56% OPM). At 37% OPM, earnings may have more room to grow from expanded scale
Scenario Analysis
| Scenario | FY27E EPS | Fwd P/E | Implied Price | Upside/Downside |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bear (10% growth, margin compression continues) | ₹23.4 | 16x | ₹374 | -9% |
| Base (15% growth, stable crane margins) | ₹24.5 | 18x | ₹441 | +7% |
| Bull (20% growth, utilization improves) | ₹25.5 | 20x | ₹511 | +24% |
| Optimistic (25% growth, KSA kicks in) | ₹26.6 | 22x | ₹585 | +42% |
At 19.3x P/E, the stock is fairly valued at current levels with modest upside potential. The risk-reward is balanced — limited downside given strong balance sheet, but upside capped without margin recovery.

- Working capital days increased from 51.2 days to 81.4 days
15. Bull vs Bear Case
Bull Case 🐂
- Market leader — 65% share in high-capacity cranes, 5th largest globally
- Strong demand cycle — wind energy boom (150 GW target by 2030), infrastructure push
- International expansion — KSA turning EBITDA-positive, 90% utilization, 4.5% yields (vs 2.12% India)
- Order book ₹1,053 Cr — provides 1 year+ revenue visibility
- Zero promoter dilution — 47.25% holding stable for 5+ years
- Record PAT of ₹184 Cr — demonstrating operating scale
- PEG 0.76 — appears undervalued on growth-adjusted basis
- Crane rental is a structural growth story — India's infrastructure and renewable energy buildout needs cranes
- Elevate 2030 vision — transforming from single-business to diversified global heavy-lift provider
Bear Case 🐻
- OPM collapse from 69% to 37% — structural margin dilution, not cyclical
- Negative FCF for 2 years — capex-heavy model straining cash flows
- Rising debt — net debt from ₹167 Cr to ₹674 Cr in 4 years
- Low institutional interest — FII+DII only 2.78%, zero analyst coverage
- Yield compression — ABY declining from 2.20% to 2.12% (and down from 2.50% in FY23)
- Wind EPC dilution — low-margin business will keep dragging blended margins
- Cyclical peak risk — EPS ₹21.29 may be near peak of the cycle
- Working capital strain — debtor days nearly doubled from 51 to 92
- Capitalization of interest costs — may be inflating reported profitability
16. Final Verdict
🟡 CAUTION — Fairly Valued, Wait for Margin Stability
Sanghvi Movers has transformed from a ₹224 Cr company to a ₹1,070 Cr revenue powerhouse, with a dominant 65% market share in high-capacity crane rentals. The order book is robust, international expansion is working (KSA at 90% utilization), and the wind energy tailwind is structural.
However, the market is correctly pricing in the margin compression risk. The collapse from 69% OPM to 37% OPM is structural — caused by business mix shift toward low-margin EPC, yield compression from competition, and rising costs. At 19.3x P/E and ₹411, the stock is fairly valued with limited upside unless margins improve.
Entry Zone: ₹370-390 (near support levels, -5-10% from CMP) Suitable For: Medium-to-long-term investors (2-3 year horizon) who understand capital-intensive cyclical businesses Not Suitable For: Short-term traders, yield-seeking investors, or those concerned about rising leverage
Key catalysts to watch:
- OPM stabilization — if blended margins hold 37-38% and don't decline further, it's a positive
- KSA ramp-up — meaningful EBITDA contribution from H2 FY27 could boost group margins
- Capex cycle peaking — once fleet expansion slows, FCF should turn positive
- Analyst coverage initiation — first institutional coverage could re-rate the stock
17. Swing Trade Assessment — Full 25-Point Checklist
1. Price Position
CMP ₹411 vs 52W High ₹443 | Distance from 52W High: -7.2% The stock is trading 7.2% below its 52-week high of ₹443. This is within the 25% rule (just 7.2% off peak). The stock hit its 52W low of ₹221 15 months ago and has recovered +86% since. It's approaching ATH territory. ✅ PASS — Close to 52W high, within the 25% threshold.
2. Trend
Daily chart shows: Higher lows from ₹221 (Mar'25) → ₹375 (Jun'26 low) → ₹406 (Jun'26 pullback low). Higher highs: ₹442 (Jun'22) → ₹436 (22-Jun'26). The stock has been in a strong recovery uptrend for 15 months. The recent breakout from ₹375 to ₹436 confirms higher highs and higher lows structure. The pullback to ₹411 is normal profit-taking. ✅ PASS — Clear uptrend established since Mar'25 low.
3. Volume Characteristics
10-day avg volume: 6,03,747 | Breakout day (15-Jun): 2.76x avg | Accumulation day (22-Jun): 1.92x avg Volume expanded dramatically during the breakout. Delivery % at 45.9% average with 8/10 accumulation days. This is textbook High Volume Expansion (HVE) at breakout. ✅ PASS — Strong volume confirmation at breakout, consistent accumulation.
4. Clean Price Action
Recent candles: ₹387 → ₹420 (breakout) → ₹422 → ₹416 → ₹412 → ₹414 → ₹436 (follow-through) → ₹421 → ₹419 → ₹411 (pullback) The breakout was sharp and clean. The current pullback is orderly with declining volume — a healthy consolidation. No erratic or gap-down behavior. ✅ PASS — Clean price action, orderly breakout and pullback.
5. EMA Alignment
CMP ₹411: Above EMA(50/100/200) by significant margin. The stock had been below 200 DMA for most of FY25 but has recovered above all major MAs. Current EMA alignment is improving but needs the short-term MAs (10,20) to cross above long-term ones for full alignment. ⚠️ CAUTION — Price is above 50/100/200 DMA but short-term EMAs (10,20) may be lagging after the sharp move.
6. Chart Pattern & Base Formation
Pattern identified: Cup with Handle (formed Mar'25-Jun'26)
- Left side: Down from ₹442 (Jun'24) → ₹221 (Mar'25) — 15 months, deep correction
- Right side: Recovery from ₹221 → ₹443 (current) — 15 months, V-shaped recovery
- Handle: ₹436 → ₹411 pullback (last 4 sessions) — this could be the handle forming ⚠️ CAUTION — Large cup pattern (>12 months) is high-quality but the correction was deep (50% from peak). Handle is still forming — needs confirmation.
7. Base Quality
Base range ₹221-443 (~50% range): A 50% range base is deep — ideally cups should be 30-40% maximum. However, this is a multi-year base and the right side recovery has been consistent. ⚠️ CAUTION — Base is deeper than ideal, but the length of the pattern (15 months) compensates. Need to see handle tighten before entry.
8. ADR (Average Daily Range)
Approximate ADR: ₹12-18 (~3-4% of CMP) The ADR has expanded during breakout days (₹32 on 15-Jun, ₹21 on 22-Jun). Normal days are ₹12-15 (3%). This is moderate-high — healthy for swing, above-average volatility. ✅ PASS — ADR is tradeable and within reasonable range.
9. Primary Uptrend
Stock is in a confirmed uptrend from Mar'25 low. Stronger than the broader market — Nifty up ~15% in 1 year while SANGHVIMOV is up 44%. ✅ PASS — Stock is outperforming the broader market in its recovery.
10. Follow One Trading Model
This setup fits the swing model:
- Uptrend confirmed ✅
- Breakout from base ✅
- Volume confirmation at breakout ✅
- Reasonable distance from 52W high ✅ ✅ PASS — This is a valid swing setup per the model.
11. Sector Strength
Commercial Services & Supplies sector is mixed. Peer comparison:
- International Gemological Instit: P/E 26.7, ROCE 30.7%
- NESCO: P/E 18.6, ROCE 18.3%
- Inox Green: P/E 79.4, ROCE 8.4% Sanghvi Movers has no direct crane rental peer listed in India. The sector is broad and not particularly strong. ⚠️ CAUTION — No strong sector tailwind. Industry P/E 18.6 is in line with SML's 18.7x.
12. Tailwind
🟢 Wind energy boom (150 GW by 2030), infrastructure push, renewable energy focus 🟢 KSA giga-projects, $1T+ GCC construction market 🟢 India's crane rental market growing with industrialization ✅ PASS — Strong structural tailwinds from renewable energy and infrastructure.
13. IPO Consideration
Not an IPO. Listed since 1994. Well-established company. ✅ PASS — N/A.
14. Price Action Strength
Relative to market: Stock up 44% in 1 year vs Nifty 500 ~15% The stock has strongly outperformed the broader market. The recovery from ₹221 to ₹443 (+100%) has been driven by strong fundamentals and improving utilization. ✅ PASS — Outperforming the benchmark significantly.
15. Sector & Government Boost
🟢 Government focus on renewable energy — 150 GW wind target by 2030 (20.9% CAGR) 🟢 National Infrastructure Pipeline — crane-intensive construction 🟢 Production Linked Incentive (PLI) for wind — boosting IPP investments ✅ PASS — Clear government support for wind energy and infrastructure.
16. Fundamental Quality
Zero promoter dilution | Record revenue and PAT | 65% market share | Positive CFO ₹278 Cr Fundamentals are solid — market leader with improving scale. However, rising debt and OPM compression are concerns. ⚠️ CAUTION — Good but not exceptional. Margin dilution and rising leverage offset the strong topline story.
17. Quarterly Earnings Growth
Q4 FY26: Sales +31% YoY, PAT +28% YoY | Full year: Sales +37% YoY, PAT +17% YoY Growth rates are in the 17-37% range. Q3 was weak (PAT -12% YoY) which broke the streak. ⚠️ CAUTION — Growth is good but lumpy. Below the 30-50% threshold preference.
18. Delivery Percentage
10-day avg: 45.9% | Accumulation days: 8/10 | Distribution days: 0/10 Excellent delivery data — among the best I've seen. 8 out of 10 days above 40% with zero distribution days. Volume spikes on breakout days. ✅ PASS — Outstanding delivery pattern.
19. News & Institutional Activity
Q4 beat, management commentary positive, KSA turning profitable, order book robust. However, FII + DII combined at only 2.78% — institutions have been reducing stakes. ⚠️ CAUTION — Good operational news flow but institutional disinterest is a concern.
20. Risk Management
Recommended parameters:
- Entry: ₹405-415 (current zone, on pullback to 10-day support)
- Stop loss: ₹390 (-3.7% from ₹405, below 15-Jun breakout level)
- Target 1: ₹442 (52W high) — +9%
- Target 2: ₹470 (next resistance zone) — +16%
- Risk/reward: 1:2.4 to 1:4.3 ✅ PASS — Favorable risk-reward ratio. Tight stop possible below recent support.
21. Market Environment
Nifty 50 near all-time highs. Market breadth positive. No systemic risk. The broader market supports long positions. The stock's sector (renewables) is in focus. ✅ PASS — Market environment is conducive.
22. Liquidity
Avg daily volume: ~6,03,747 shares | Avg value: ~₹25 Cr/day Good enough liquidity for position sizing up to ₹5-10 Cr. ✅ PASS — Sufficient liquidity for swing trading.
23. Relative Strength
1-year return: +44.4% vs Nifty 500 ~+15% | 3-month return: +71.5% ✅ PASS — Strong relative strength on multiple timeframes.
24. Breakout Confirmation
Breakout from ₹375 to ₹436 (15-22 Jun) — confirmed with 2.76x and 1.92x volume. The stock broke through resistance near ₹393 and ₹420 convincingly. The current pullback to ₹411 is a normal throwback to test broken resistance. ⚠️ CAUTION — The initial breakout is confirmed. However, the handle (if this is a cup-and-handle) is still forming. Entry should be on handle completion, not during pullback.
25. Trading Psychology
The setup is compelling — strong delivery, breakout volume, uptrend, good R/R. But patience is needed: wait for pullback to complete and handle to tighten before entry. ✅ PASS — Disciplined patience now could yield a better entry. FOMO already served (missed the 8.5% day). Wait for the next leg.

Score: 18/23 (measurable) — ⚠️ MODERATE ✅ 16 | ⚠️ 7 | ✗ 0
Critical pass (must-pass items 1, 2, 24):
- ✅ Item 1: Price Position — PASS (7.2% from 52W high)
- ✅ Item 2: Trend — PASS (clear uptrend from Mar'25 low)
- ⚠️ Item 24: Breakout Confirmation — CAUTION (initial breakout confirmed, but handle still forming)
Verdict: ⚠️ MODERATE — Promising Setup, Wait for Handle Completion
This is a near-swingable setup. The stock has all the right characteristics — uptrend, strong delivery (45.9%), volume breakout, close to 52W high, and favorable R/R. The only missing piece is handle completion — the current pullback needs to show tightening price action and then a secondary breakout above ₹425-430 with volume.
Recommended action:
- Add to watchlist — this is a high-probability emerging setup
- Watch for: Handle tightening (narrow range days with declining volume), then breakout above ₹430
- Entry triggers:
- Conservative: Wait for breakout above ₹430 with >500K volume
- Aggressive: Buy on dip to ₹400-405 with tight SL at ₹390
- Staged: 50% at ₹405 (pullback), 50% above ₹430 (breakout confirmation)
Timeframe: 2-6 weeks for swing Score interpretation: At 18/23, this qualifies as a moderate setup — higher than the threshold for consideration (17+) but needs the final confirmation signal.
