7th Day of Learning Series….” Debt-to-Equity (D/E) Ratio The Debt-to-Equity (D/E) Ratio shows how much debt a company has compared to its shareholders’ equity. Definition: D/E Ratio = Total Debt ÷ Shareholders’ Equity Easy example: Total Debt = ₹50 crore Shareholders’ Equity = ₹100 crore D/E Ratio = 50 ÷ 100 = 0.5 This means the company has ₹0.50 of debt for every ₹1 of shareholders’ equity. Why is D/E Ratio important?: Shows whether a company depends heavily on borrowed money. Lower debt generally means lower financial risk. High debt can become a problem if profits fall or interest costs rise. What is a good D/E Ratio? 0 to 0.5 → Excellent ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 0.5 to 1.0 → Good ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 1.0 to 2.0 → Acceptable, but analyze carefully ⭐⭐⭐ Above 2.0 → High risk; investigate the reason before investing ⚠️ Important note: Some industries naturally have higher debt, such as: Banks Infrastructure Power utilities Telecom So always compare the D/E ratio with companies in the same industry. Rule for long-term investing Look for companies with: ✅ D/E below 0.5 (where practical for the industry) ✅ ROE above 15% ✅ ROCE above 15% ✅ Consistent sales and profit growth ✅ Positive operating cash flow Simple way to remember: Low D/E = Lower financial risk High ROE = Better returns for shareholders High ROCE = Efficient use of total capital A company with low debt and high ROE/ROCE is often a stronger long-term investment candidate than one with high debt and similar profits.

PPAP Automotive | CMP: ₹323 🚗📈 One of the cleanest bullish charts in the auto ancillary space. After 7 long years, the stock has finally broken out of a massive symmetrical triangle. The bullish confirmations keep stacking up: ✅ 7-year triangle breakout ✅ Monthly Supertrend turns GREEN after 8 years ✅ OBV breakout showing strong accumulation ✅ RSI breakout confirming momentum ✅ High volumes over the last 2 months Business Overview PPAP Automotive manufactures plastic injection-moulded parts, interior & exterior automotive components, sealing systems and EV-related parts for major automobile OEMs. The company spent the last few years growing slowly, but the latest quarter suggests operating leverage is finally kicking in. Better capacity utilisation, an improving product mix and stronger demand have translated into a sharp jump in profitability. So I checked the business numbers… The company was largely flat for the last 7–8 quarters. Mute numbers. But the latest quarter changed everything. 📈 Revenue: ₹174.6 Cr • +18.6% YoY • +25.7% QoQ 💰 Net Profit: ₹45.5 Cr • ~18x YoY growth ( 2cr to 45cr ) • Massive turnaround QoQ This is exactly how multi-year stories begin. But…… “Remember, multi-year breakouts come with violent volatility.” Investors trapped for years will try to exit on every rally, so expect sharp intraday corrections along the way. How I’d play it: • Build a small trial position this week. • Add aggressively if the ₹290–300 retest holds in coming week if it ever comes. • Add more after a monthly close above ₹340—that would be the real confirmation. If the upcoming quarterly results are anywhere close to the previous quarter, I won’t be surprised to see this stock deliver a 200–300% move over the next 2 years.
