Midwest Energy Ltd

Price story Before the numbers, the tape. A stock price moves through four repeating seasons: a flat base (stage 1), an advance (2), a top (3), a decline (4). Where the price sits in that cycle frames everything below.

Midwest Energy Ltd trades at ₹3,799, in a confirmed uptrend and 103 weeks into that stage. That is +1.4% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 52% of a 52-week range of ₹1,735 to ₹5,681. On relative strength it is currently behind the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view (3 weeks and counting).

Today the stock is in a confirmed uptrend — week 103 of stage 2, confirmed. At ₹3,799 it trades +1.4% versus its 200-day average and sits at 52% of its 52-week range (₹1,735–₹5,681).

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10.3 years the stock moved +34,434% while the NIFTY 500 moved +255% — ahead of the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock is currently behind (3 weeks and counting; last ahead the week of 2026-07-01) — the ribbon below is that same metric, week by week.

What would end the trend, mechanically: two Friday closes in a row below the 200-day line. That is the exit rule — no debates.

→ The trend is one thing; the bill is another. Are you paying up for it? Next: how the P/E reads against its own history.

Valuation P/E is the price of ₹1 of annual profit: how many rupees the market pays for each rupee the company earns in a year.

P/E does not price Midwest Energy Ltd — earnings are negative, so there is no multiple to rank against its own history. The revenue and margin lines below are where a turn, when it comes, would show first. On sales the market values Midwest Energy Ltd at 541.6× its FY26 revenue of ₹9.0 Cr.

With earnings negative, P/E does not price — there is no multiple to rank against its own history. The revenue and margin lines below are where the turn, when it comes, will show first.

Put together: the multiple is unremarkable against its own past, so the story rests on the earnings line underneath it, not the multiple.

→ Cheap or dear rides on the earnings. Are they actually growing? Next: the fundamental stage — where the business sits in its arc, and how growth has compounded.

Stage: No read Every business sits somewhere on a fundamental arc, and this page names the spot before anything else. The last twelve quarters of revenue, profit and EPS growth — plus the return the business earns on its capital — are read as curves: Deteriorating (the curves are falling), Turning around (a trough has just formed and the last few quarters lift off it), Improving (the climb off the trough is sustained), Consistent (steadily positive with healthy returns), Topping out (still high but decelerating from the peak). When the curves genuinely disagree the read is Mixed; too little history is No read. CAGR (compound annual growth rate) is the smooth yearly pace that turns the starting value into the latest one — the fairest way to compare growth across different time spans. Read the columns together: if the 1-year number towers over the 10-year, recent growth is running hotter than the long-run trend. A dash means that window is not held, or the base year was a loss (where a growth rate is not meaningful).

Midwest Energy Ltd reads as no read on its fundamental arc. Under eight usable quarters on the growth trio — not enough history for an honest trajectory read. The read is built from 8 quarters across 2 curves, on partial evidence.

Why it matters: with too little history, an honest page says so instead of guessing a trajectory.

Return readings here are annual, not quarterly — read as level and direction only; they can confirm the growth curves but never drive the stage on their own.

Fewer than eight usable quarters on the growth curves — this page will not guess a trajectory from a stub of history.

→ The stage names the trajectory. Next: the revenue line that produces it, quarter by quarter.

4-Factor Sector Score

51.6/100 — rank 6 of 13 in Mining/Minerals · 56% evidence confidence

Midwest Energy Ltd scores 51.6 out of 100 against the 13 companies it is compared with in Mining/Minerals, ranking 6. Fill the missing evidence before acting; the ranking is deliberately pulled toward neutral.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 21.9 + 4.8 + 10 + 14.9 = 51.6. This is the SAME number shown on the sector comparison — it is computed once, for the whole peer set, and read here.

What would change it: The read weakens if profit growth turns negative or margin improvement reverses while sector-relative strength deteriorates.

Revenue Revenue is the top line: everything the company billed its customers in the period.

Midwest Energy Ltd reported ₹5.8 Cr of revenue in the Mar 26 quarter, +3,288.2% year on year. That is the 3rd straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 10 years it has compounded at 8.3% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹9.0 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹8.6 Cr.

FY26 revenue came in at ₹9.0 Cr (+800.0% on the year), capping 10 years at 8.3% compound. The latest quarter (Mar 26) printed ₹5.8 Cr, +3,288.2% year on year — the 3rd consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +5,183.2% growth against the decade's 8.3% — the current year is running faster than its own long-run rate.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +1,865.9% over the last 4 quarters against +188.4%/yr over the last 8 — accelerating.

→ Revenue grew — did margins hold as it scaled? Next: −55.9% this quarter (+1,202.9 pp YoY).

Operating margin Operating margin is what is left of every ₹100 of sales after running the business, before interest and tax. It is the cleanest read on pricing power and cost control.

Midwest Energy Ltd's operating margin is −55.9% in the Mar 26 quarter, +1,202.9 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −1,175.0% to −21.3%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

Midwest Energy Ltd's operating margin is −55.9% in the Mar 26 quarter, +1,202.9 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −1,175.0% to −21.3%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

The latest quarter's operating margin is −55.9%, +1,202.9 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −1,175.0%–−21.3%.

Why the margin moved: operating margin went +253.6 pp year on year while gross margin went +150.0 pp — the gain came mostly below the gross line: operating leverage, with costs spread over a bigger revenue base.

→ Margins held — did that reach the bottom line? Next: profit null in the latest quarter.

Net profit Net profit is what survives every cost, interest and tax — the number EPS, dividends and book value all grow from.

Midwest Energy Ltd posted a net loss of ₹3.5 Cr in the Mar 26 quarter. The full FY26 year was a loss of ₹14.0 Cr. That loss is 59.9% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier lost ₹1.9 Cr. 12 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making.

Mar 26 profit was ₹−3.5 Cr, null year on year. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹−14.0 Cr (null).

→ Profit rose — but did the cash follow?

Cash flow — the router The P&L says what was earned; the cash-flow statement says what actually arrived. Operating cash flow (CFO) against profit is the cleanest lie detector in the accounts.

Midwest Energy Ltd's cash-flow history is too thin to judge how much reported profit converts into cash. In FY26 that was ₹−10.0 Cr of operating cash against ₹−14.0 Cr of profit. After ₹201 Cr of capital spending, ₹−211 Cr was left as free cash. Cash resolution here is annual, because quarterly cash statements are not published.

FY26: operating cash of ₹−10.0 Cr against reported profit of ₹−14.0 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹−211 Cr after ₹201 Cr of capital spending.

Cash-flow readings here are annual — that is the resolution our series carries, so this section moves once a year.

Router verdict: the bigger cash user is investment — capital spending ran 76.8× depreciation over three years, so the next section's job is to check what that build-out is buying.

→ So follow the cash to where it goes. Next: ₹307 Cr of building over 3 years.

Where the cash goes Working capital is the cash tied up between paying suppliers and getting paid: debtor days (customers owe), inventory days (stock waits), and the cash conversion cycle (the whole loop, in days of sales).

Midwest Energy Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 2,675 days in FY26, down from 4,305 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹307 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹9.0 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹0.0 Cr, so roughly ₹66.0 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.

FY26: debtors at 299 days, inventory at 2,449 days — roughly 80.6 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of 2,675 days, tighter than FY21's 4,305.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 2,449 days to sell; customers pay about 299 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 72 days — netting out to the 2,675-day cycle.

In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹9.0 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹0.0 Cr — so the 2,675-day loop keeps roughly ₹66.0 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.

On the investment side: capital spending of ₹307 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹4.0 Cr of depreciation — the company is building well ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹164 Cr (FY26) — capacity paid for but not yet earning.

The synthesis: the cash is going into capacity, not disappearing into the cycle — the question becomes whether the new capacity earns.

→ Does all this activity actually earn its cost of capital? Next: ROCE is −3%.

Return on capital Return on capital employed (ROCE) is the profit the whole business earns on all the money in it — equity and debt together. It is the single best test of whether growth creates value or just size.

Midwest Energy Ltd earns a ROCE of −3% in FY26. That is up from a trough of −456% in FY14. A return-on-invested-capital spread against the cost of capital is not computable from what is held here. The wiring behind it is −155.6% net margin on 0.01× asset turns.

FY26 ROCE is −3%, recovered from a FY14 trough of −456% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.

Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): −155.6% net margin × 0.01× asset turns × 1.78× balance-sheet leverage ≈ −2.8% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is a meaningful part of the equation.

→ Returns like these — is the balance sheet borrowing to make them? Next: debt-to-equity is 0.75.

Debt Debt-to-equity says how much of the business is funded by borrowings; interest cover says how many times operating profit pays the interest bill. Low and high, respectively, is the safe corner.

Midwest Energy Ltd carries ₹302 Cr of borrowings against ₹401 Cr of equity in FY26, a debt-to-equity of 0.75. Operating profit covers the interest bill −3×. Over 5 years borrowings went from ₹17.8 Cr to ₹302 Cr. Capital spending ran ₹307 Cr across the last 3 of those years.

FY26: borrowings of ₹302 Cr against equity of ₹401 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 0.75. Operating profit covers the interest bill −3×. Over 5 years borrowings went from ₹17.8 Cr to ₹302 Cr while capital spending ran ₹307 Cr in just the last 3 — part of the build-out is riding on borrowed money.

→ Who owns this, and are they adding or leaving? Next: Promoters cut 13.6 points over 8 quarters.

Ownership Who owns the stock, quarter by quarter: promoters (the controlling owners), foreign and domestic institutions, and the public. Steady accumulation by people close to the numbers is a signal; a quiet register is also an answer.

Promoters cut 13.6 points of Midwest Energy Ltd over 8 quarters, the biggest move on the register. That takes promoters to 58.5% of the company. Foreign institutions moved +12.6 points over the same window, to 12.6%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.

The register over the last two years — Promoters: −13.6 points over 8 quarters to 58.5%; Foreign institutions: +12.6 points over 8 quarters to 12.6%; Domestic institutions: +0.9 points over 8 quarters to 1.6%.

🚨 Why the register moved: promoters drove it (−13.6 points), absorbed on the other side by foreign institutions (+12.6 points) — distribution into the market’s bid.

→ One last check: does the safety math agree? Next: the balance-sheet safety line.

Safety line The Z-score estimates how far a company sits from balance-sheet distress — above roughly 3 is safe, below roughly 1.8 is the danger zone. It was built for manufacturers, so it is not applied to banks and lenders.

Midwest Energy Ltd: the Z-score is not available for this stock, so we say so rather than invent one. It is a distance-to-distress estimate from the balance sheet, not a forecast of failure. The debt, cash-flow and return sections above carry the balance-sheet evidence this page does hold, and each of them states its own reporting date.

The safety line in one sentence: the Z-score is not available for this stock, so we say so rather than invent one.
