#RappidValves
A ₹160cr mcap valve manufacturer backed by Maharashtra Defense Fund.
Boring business. Exciting setup.
Here's why it's on my radar 🧵
WHAT THEY DO:
Rappid Valves makes specialized valves for:
40-45%: Navy, Coast Guard, Submarines (GROWING)
30-35%: Oil & Gas refineries
15-20%: Chemical plants, Power gen
10-15%: General industrial
Critical infrastructure.
WHY NOW:
Tailwinds converging:
+ Indian Navy modernization push (indigenous mandate)
+ Shipbuilding boom (management: "golden phase in 20 years")
+ Fragmented market with high certification barriers
^ Low base (₹160cr mcap) meeting multi-year cycle.
THE SETUP:
Sep'25 AGM data:
→ ₹28cr order book (52% defense, 6-month execution) ... recurring orders from ship building. Shipbuilding orders just 1st cut requirement for now, multiple cuts of order from same ship as ship progresses
→ ₹180cr pipeline
→ Export bulk order delayed to Feb'26 (client design changes after plant approval)
→ 4 new type approvals from NKK Japan (global certifier)
→ Bidder for huge contracts for smart valves, started new vertical for same. Value for these valves is very high than manual
→ 4-5% of price of shipbuilding budget is used for manual valves, remote operated valves to be much higher
(which is 1.5-2% for commercial ship building projects)
→ Rappid focuses on Defense ships and new ship projects. Specification for Commercial ships and Defense ships are different.

Revenue visibility building.
MOAT:
Not brand. Not scale.
CERTIFICATIONS:
DNV, API, IBR approvals = 2-3 year barriers
Plus:
Integrated manufacturing
Defense credibility (MDAVF backing)
Repeat customer base
Hard to replicate quickly.
GROWTH MATH:
Management guiding 40-50% CAGR for 2-3 years.
If ₹180cr pipeline converts at even 40% = ₹70cr+ orders
Math checks out. Execution is the question.
WHAT I'M WATCHING:
✅ Pipeline conversion (what % of ₹180cr materializes?)
✅ Margin profile at scale? Margin improvement driven by higher contribution from defence and marine valves with superior profile.
✅ Working capital management
✅ FY26 revenue jump from existing business and domestic opportunities alone?
(which will mean export revenue will be incremental to 40% projections)
RISKS:
❌ High customer concentration (Govt/Defense)
❌ Working capital intensive
❌ Cyclical industry
❌ Execution risk at scale
❌ Competition from established players
#RappidValves a calculated #microcap bet on convergence.
WHY IT'S INTERESTING:
Microcaps like this don't show up on screeners.
No analyst coverage. No hype.
Just:
Multi-year tailwinds
Certification moats
Low base
Credible backing (MDAVF)
Management confidence
The kind of setup where 3x-5x happens quietly over 18-24 months.
Or it doesn't. That's the game.
Disclaimer:
NOT ADVICE.
Just sharing what I'm tracking.
Do your own work and diligence. Read the AR. Attend concalls.
But if you're hunting microcaps with asymmetric setup + industry tailwinds...
==> Rappid Valves deserves the Excel tab.
Have built a position ~4% of pf, with plan to top up on dips
(e.g. post H1 result or Mar'26, etc.)

Reason why Relative Strength is important to filter businesses:-
Filtered Cyient using RS vs IT Index
Relatives strength simply means relative stronger than the benchmark or the sectoral index.
Simple way to use Relative strength:-
Go To trading View
Click on Indicators
Search for: Relative strength
Click on Relatives strength of a stock by Bharat Trader
The moment it opens- you can change the benchmark to Nifty IT or whatever company you are looking at with respect to index.
Secondly, you can compare it to Nifty as well :)
Few more important points:-
If you are using weekly charts, then you can use Period as 52. It will compare RS with last 52 weeks.
If you are using Monthly Charts, put Period as 12.
If you are using Daily charts, put period as 123 (6month of trading days)
Hopefully this helps!
