Key Observations (Must Read):
- Revenue Surge (+20%): Top-line growth shandar hai, driven by strong performance in Engineering and CG Power subsidiary.
- Profit Drop (-14%): Net Profit niche dikh raha hai kyunki TI Clean Mobility (EV Business) abhi huge investment phase me hai. EV business me R&D aur marketing cost high hai jo consolidated profit ko temporary kha raha hai.
- Standalone Stability: Core business (Standalone) stable cash flow generate kar raha hai (PBT ~₹253 Cr).
4️⃣ Management & Shareholding (Latest: Dec 2025)
- Promoters: 44.05%. Murugappa Group (High integrity & conservative accounting).

5️⃣ Valuation (Market Data: Feb 4, 2026)
- Current PE Ratio: ~81x (TTM)
- 5-Year Average PE: ~55x
- EV/EBITDA: ~25.7x
Interpretation:
- Expensive? Yes. 81x PE dekhkar stock mehenga lagta hai.
- Justification: Market ise “Auto Stock” ki tarah nahi, balki ek “Tech/Growth Platform” ki tarah value de raha hai. Valuation me CG Power ka stake aur TI Clean Mobility ki future value included hai.
- Peer Comparison: Ye Bharat Forge (40x PE) se double valuation par trade karta hai because of its venture-building capability.
6️⃣ Future Growth Triggers (3–5 Years)
- TI Clean Mobility (EV Giant): Inka Electric 3-Wheeler “Montra” market share gain kar raha hai. Next big trigger Electric Tractor aur E-Trucks (Rhino) ka full commercial launch hai. Expectation hai ki ye segment next 3 saal me revenue double karega.
- Medical & CDMO Pivot: Company ne healthcare manufacturing me entry li hai. Ye business high margin wala hai aur agle 5 saalo me significant profit contributor ban sakta hai.
- CG Power Expansion: Subsidiary CG Power semiconductor chip packaging me enter kar rahi hai, jiska indirect fayda TII ko valuation boost ke roop me milega.
7️⃣ Present Situation (Current Outlook)
- Stock Trend: Aaj stock +5% upar hai (Price: ~₹2,630) strong revenue numbers ke baad.
- Phase: Investment Phase. Company abhi heavy Capex (kharcha) kar rahi hai future growth ke liye, isliye current profits suppressed (dabe huye) dikh sakte hain.
- View: Short-term me volatility rahegi due to EV losses, lekin long-term story intact hai.
8️⃣ Risk & Red Flags
- EV Execution Risk: EV market me competition (Bajaj, Mahindra) bahut intense hai. Agar TI Clean Mobility profit me nahi aayi, to valuation sustain karna mushkil hoga.
- Cyclical Core: Core engineering business auto cycles par depend karta hai. Agar global recession aaya to exports hit honge.
- Key Man Risk: Pura premium valuation Vellayan Subbiah ki vision par hai. Leadership change ek bada risk ho sakta hai.
9️⃣ Final Verdict
Summary:
- Tube Investments ab sirf ‘Tube’ company nahi hai; ye India ka unique “Incubation Factory” hai.
- Q3 FY26 ke results mixed hain (Rev Up, PAT Down), lekin ye management ki aggressive growth strategy ka hissa hai.
- Valuation (81x PE) mehenga hai, lekin growth runway lamba hai.
Recommendation by Investor Profile:
- Conservative Investor: AVOID. Valuation bahut high hai aur current profit growth negative hai. Saste valuations ka wait karein.
- Aggressive Investor: BUY ON DIPS. Current price (₹2,630) par thoda le sakte hain, aur agar ₹2,400 tak girta hai to add karein. Aap company ke current profits ko nahi, balki 2028-29 ki EV potential ko khareed rahe hain.
- Target: Long-term me stock 20-25% CAGR growth dikha sakta hai agar EV bets successful hoti hain.
One Line Strategy: Is stock ko “PE Ratio” par mat judge karo, ise Management ki “Business Building Ability” par bet karo – lekin SIP mode me khareedo.
