Deccan Gold Mines 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.

Deccan Gold Mines Ltd trades at ₹194, in a confirmed uptrend and 9 weeks into that stage. That is +36.7% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 84% of a 52-week range of ₹87 to ₹215. On relative strength it has been ahead of the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view for 28 straight weeks.

Today the stock is in a confirmed uptrend — week 9 of stage 2, confirmed. At ₹194 it trades +36.7% versus its 200-day average and sits at 84% of its 52-week range (₹87–₹215).

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10.4 years the stock moved +509% while the NIFTY 500 moved +267% — ahead of the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock has been ahead for 28 straight weeks — 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 Deccan Gold Mines 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 Deccan Gold Mines Ltd at 276.1× its FY26 revenue of ₹14.0 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.

A quarterly PEG curve, which only the second data source carries, is not drawn on this page: its two data sources disagree by up to 89% on reported income across 14 comparable periods. A figure two sources cannot agree on is not drawn — the gap is a decision, not missing data.

→ 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).

Deccan Gold Mines 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 9 quarters across 2 curves, on partial evidence.

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

One or more growth curves carry a base-effect spike — a large year-on-year move off a near-zero or loss-making comparable quarter. Those spikes are capped before the classifier reads the trajectory, and shown pinned on the chart, so a single distorted quarter does not drive the stage call.

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

49.2/100 — rank 8 of 13 in Mining/Minerals · 63% evidence confidence

Deccan Gold Mines Ltd scores 49.2 out of 100 against the 13 companies it is compared with in Mining/Minerals, ranking 8. Balanced evidence: keep at normal research priority and require another comparable period before raising conviction.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 21.5 + 8.1 + 10 + 9.6 = 49.2. 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.

Deccan Gold Mines Ltd reported ₹9.3 Cr of revenue in the Mar 26 quarter, +1,885.1% year on year. That is the 2nd straight quarter of year-on-year growth. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹14.0 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹14.2 Cr.

FY26 revenue came in at ₹14.0 Cr (+250.0% on the year). The latest quarter (Mar 26) printed ₹9.3 Cr, +1,885.1% year on year — the 2nd consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +71.5% over the last 4 quarters against +83.5%/yr over the last 8 — rolling over.

→ Revenue grew — did margins hold as it scaled? Next: −13.9% this quarter (+4,492.4 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.

Deccan Gold Mines Ltd's operating margin is −13.9% in the Mar 26 quarter, +4,492.4 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 8 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −7,850.0% to −316.0%. The current quarter is running above every full year in that window.

Deccan Gold Mines Ltd's operating margin is −13.9% in the Mar 26 quarter, +4,492.4 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 8 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −7,850.0% to −316.0%. The current quarter is running above every full year in that window.

The latest quarter's operating margin is −13.9%, +4,492.4 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 8 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −7,850.0%–−316.0%.

Why the margin moved: operating margin went +4,492.4 pp year on year while gross margin went −0.3 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 −51.5% 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.

Deccan Gold Mines Ltd earned ₹5.7 Cr of net profit in the Mar 26 quarter, −51.5% year on year. The full FY26 year was a loss of ₹64.0 Cr. That is 61.4% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹11.8 Cr. 8 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making.

Mar 26 profit was ₹5.7 Cr, −51.5% year on year. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹−64.0 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.

Deccan Gold Mines Ltd's cash-flow history is too thin to judge how much reported profit converts into cash. In FY26 that was ₹−52.0 Cr of operating cash against ₹−64.0 Cr of profit. After ₹98.0 Cr of capital spending, ₹−150 Cr was left as free cash. Cash resolution here is annual, because quarterly cash statements are not published.

FY26: operating cash of ₹−52.0 Cr against reported profit of ₹−64.0 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹−150 Cr after ₹98.0 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 6.9× 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: ₹262 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).

Deccan Gold Mines Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 11,292 days in FY26, up from 182 days in FY22. Capital spending ran ₹262 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹14.0 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹0.0 Cr, so roughly ₹433 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.

FY26: debtors at 8 days, inventory at 13,718 days — roughly 451.3 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of 11,292 days, looser than FY22's 182.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 13,718 days to sell; customers pay about 8 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 2,434 days — netting out to the 11,292-day cycle.

In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹14.0 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹0.0 Cr — so the 11,292-day loop keeps roughly ₹433 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.

On the investment side: capital spending of ₹262 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹38.0 Cr of depreciation — the company is building well ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹73.0 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 −13%.

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.

Deccan Gold Mines Ltd earns a ROCE of −13% in FY26. That is up from a trough of −190% in FY15. A return-on-invested-capital spread against the cost of capital is not computable from what is held here. The wiring behind it is −457.1% net margin on 0.02× asset turns.

FY26 ROCE is −13%, recovered from a FY15 trough of −190% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.

Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): −457.1% net margin × 0.02× asset turns × 1.14× balance-sheet leverage ≈ −10.4% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is modest — this is an earned return, not a borrowed one.

The quarterly return curves and the return-on-invested-capital overlay, which only the second data source carries, are not drawn on this page: its two data sources disagree by up to 89% on reported income across 14 comparable periods. A figure two sources cannot agree on is not drawn — the gap is a decision, not missing data.

→ Returns like these — is the balance sheet borrowing to make them? Next: debt-to-equity is 0.10.

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.

Deccan Gold Mines Ltd carries ₹51.0 Cr of borrowings against ₹496 Cr of equity in FY26, a debt-to-equity of 0.10. Operating profit covers the interest bill −3×. Over 5 years borrowings went from ₹0.0 Cr to ₹51.0 Cr. Capital spending ran ₹262 Cr across the last 3 of those years.

FY26: borrowings of ₹51.0 Cr against equity of ₹496 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 0.10. Operating profit covers the interest bill −3×. Over 5 years borrowings went from ₹0.0 Cr to ₹51.0 Cr while capital spending ran ₹262 Cr in just the last 3 — part of the build-out is riding on borrowed money.

The total-debt and debt-to-equity series, which only the second data source carries, are not drawn on this page: its two data sources disagree by up to 89% on reported income across 14 comparable periods. A figure two sources cannot agree on is not drawn — the gap is a decision, not missing data.

→ Who owns this, and are they adding or leaving? Next: Promoters cut 5.0 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 5.0 points of Deccan Gold Mines Ltd over 8 quarters, the biggest move on the register. That takes promoters to 20.5% of the company. Domestic institutions moved +0.5 points over the same window, to 0.5%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.

The register over the last two years — Promoters: −5.0 points over 8 quarters to 20.5%; Domestic institutions: +0.5 points over 8 quarters to 0.5%; Foreign institutions: +0.2 points over 8 quarters to 2.1%.

🚨 Why the register moved: promoters drove it (−5.0 points), absorbed on the other side by domestic institutions (+0.5 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.

Deccan Gold Mines 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.
