Wendt IndiaNSE:WENDT
Current view Q1 2027
Makes diamond and boron-nitride grinding wheels and tools. Machine-tool division tripled in Q1 FY27, largely because finished machines left unshipped at March-end finally cleared; the solar-glass grinding-wheel line is built and peripheral-grinding technology transfer is complete. But management is not consistent - sales flat three years, its 3M-owned co-promoter sold out, and the chairman refuses quarterly calls.

Exchange filings, with the company's own one-line summary, read off the same page as the figures. Screener publishes only the most recent few, so this is the last 5 — not everything filed since your note, and a quiet-looking list is not proof of a quiet quarter. A filing is marked new when it is dated after the end of the quarter your note covers. Not scored, and not a judgement — a routine repayment notice and a takeover sit in the same list.

Growth Q1 2027

Tinted rows drive the Tier. Tier = the weaker of YoY Sales and YoY PAT growth. Here the weaker is Sales at +36.6%, which is ≥ 20% → Tier 1.
QoQ is sequential, not a trend. For most Indian companies the March quarter is seasonally the largest, so a June-quarter fall against it is a calendar effect. Only the YoY column feeds the Tier.
Multibagger potential
Weak36/100
Earnings are shrinking, not growing. Profit per share fell 29% a year over the window measured. Nothing compounds from here until that turns, whatever the price does.
No forward view — earnings are not compounding, so there is nothing to project.
Multiple moved without the earnings — the return sits in sentiment.
How this is calculated
Band capped: earnings are not growing over the measured window.
Growth rate used: -28.7% — the weakest of EPS / Sales / Op-profit from 3-year EPS CAGR. Latest quarter reads 60%.

These are the industry's largest names rather than companies of its own size, so the columns are worth reading straight across — a ranking against them would only be restating the size gap.

Screener's own peer group, from the request already made for the industry P/E. It serves the industry's largest names by market cap, not companies of a similar size, so treat this as context rather than a like-for-like table; this company is always shown. On a phone the price, size and sales columns are dropped rather than pushed off the edge. Not part of the score.

|---|---|---|
| Did the profit turn into cash? | most of it arrived as cash | 100% last year, 87% over three · free cash flow ₹9 cr, positive in 4 of 5 years |

| What does it earn on its capital? | earns little on its capital | ROCE 7.8% · ROE 4.9% |
Fetched from the filings, not typed — and deliberately not part of the score. These are the questions the score cannot ask: it reads growth, price and trend, so a company can score well while its profit never becomes cash. Weigh these beside the note, not against the number.
