Delta Corp Ltd

DELTACORP
Miscellaneous

Delta Corp Ltd is cheap for a reason. The P/E sits at the 30th percentile of its own range, and the quarters are still getting worse.

The sharpest disagreement: the price moved −28.6% in a year while annual EPS moved −65.7% — the difference is re-rating, and re-rating has to be repaid with earnings.

The price is in a downtrend (152 weeks in) while the P/E sits at the 30th percentile of its own 10-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read deteriorating — profit −90.3% year on year, and 61% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash. What settles it: whether earnings grow into a price that has already moved.

Unverified figures: Some figures on this page come from a second financial-data feed that could not be cross-checked against the primary source — the two do not share enough overlapping reported history to compare. They are drawn, because they are the only evidence there is, and every section carrying one is marked unverified. PEG is the exception: the quarterly curve is not drawn at all. PEG asks what is being paid for growth — both sides of that division come from the source that could not be checked, so it is withheld instead of marked.
01 · Price story

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.

Delta Corp Ltd trades at ₹64.4, in a downtrend and 152 weeks into that stage. That is −8.7% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 31% of a 52-week range of ₹54 to ₹88. On relative strength it is currently behind the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view (5 weeks and counting).

Today the stock is in a downtrend — week 152 of stage 4, confirmed. At ₹64.4 it trades −8.7% versus its 200-day average and sits at 31% of its 52-week range (₹54–₹88).

Jul 26: ₹64.4 Weekly closing price (₹) with 50- and 200-day averages; shaded bands mark the price stage (grey base, green advance, amber top, red decline). 3-year window.

Mar 16Jul 26

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10.3 years the stock moved +3% while the NIFTY 500 moved +274% — behind the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock is currently behind (5 weeks and counting; last ahead the week of 2026-06-24) — 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: the P/E sits at the 30th percentile of its own range.

02 · Valuation

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.

Delta Corp Ltd trades at 18.9× P/E, near the bottom of its own range — cheaper only 30% of the time. Its long-run median P/E is 25.1×, measured across 10.4 years of weekly readings. This places the multiple against the stock’s own record, and says nothing about what the business is worth.

Today's P/E of 18.9× is near the bottom of its own range — cheaper only 30% of the time, against a long-run median of 25.1× measured over 10.4 years of weekly readings. This is a comparison against the stock's own history — not a claim about what it is worth.

30th percentile of 10y

🚨 Why the multiple sits where it does: over the past year annual EPS moved −65.7% against a −28.6% price move — the price outran earnings, pushing the multiple UP its own range.

The price move, decomposed: over 10y, of the −3.5%/yr price move, ~+4.6%/yr came from earnings growth and ~−8.1 pp from the multiple (compressing). The split is the honest approximate (price return minus earnings growth); it makes the rally itself visible instead of hiding it behind the percentile.

Put together: the multiple is low 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 do not share enough overlapping reported history to be compared. A figure nobody could check is not used to price growth — 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.

03 · Stage: Deteriorating

Stage: Deteriorating 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).

Delta Corp Ltd reads as deteriorating on its fundamental arc. Deteriorating — revenue and profit growth are shrinking (revenue growth −12.0% latest (single-quarter readings) against +3.4% at its 12-quarter best), ROCE slipping at 5.0%. The read is built from 10 quarters across 3 curves, on partial evidence.

Three growth curves, twelve quarters Year-on-year growth of trailing-twelve-month revenue (left axis), profit and EPS (right axis — they swing far wider), % at each quarter-end. Where the trailing-twelve-month history is short, the curve falls back to single-quarter year-on-year growth — noisier, and the classifier smooths and caps base-effect spikes before reading. A missing point means that reading is not held for the quarter.

🚨 Why it matters: falling curves mean every cheap-looking ratio below needs a discount for direction.

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.

A partial read: at least one curve is short, or the returns curve is not the computed quarterly series — hold the stage word a little more loosely.

04 · 4-Factor Sector Score

4-Factor Sector Score

41.5/100 — rank 21 of 36 in Miscellaneous · 77% evidence confidence

Delta Corp Ltd scores 41.5 out of 100 against the 36 companies it is compared with in Miscellaneous, ranking 21. Balanced evidence: keep at normal research priority and require another comparable period before raising conviction.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 11.3 + 12.2 + 12.4 + 5.6 = 41.5. 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.

05 · Revenue

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

Delta Corp Ltd reported ₹161 Cr of revenue in the Mar 26 quarter, −12.0% year on year. Over 10 years it has compounded at 6.3% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹688 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹688 Cr.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged −6.4% growth against the decade's 6.3% — the current year is running slower than its own long-run rate.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew −6.5% over the last 4 quarters against −13.9%/yr over the last 8 — accelerating; TTM profit −66.4% vs −41.3%/yr — rolling over.

→ Revenue slipped — did margins hold as it scaled? Next: 17.0% this quarter (−5.0 pp YoY).

06 · Operating margin

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.

Delta Corp Ltd's operating margin is 17.0% in the Mar 26 quarter, −5.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 5.0% to 41.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

Delta Corp Ltd's operating margin is 17.0% in the Mar 26 quarter, −5.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 5.0% to 41.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

The latest quarter's operating margin is 17.0%, −5.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 5.0%–41.0%.

🚨 Why the margin moved: operating margin went −5.0 pp year on year while gross margin went +0.5 pp — the loss came mostly below the gross line: operating leverage, with costs spread over a bigger revenue base.

→ Margins slipped — did that reach the bottom line? Next: profit −90.3% in the latest quarter.

07 · Net profit

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

Delta Corp Ltd earned ₹16.0 Cr of net profit in the Mar 26 quarter, −90.3% year on year. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹85.0 Cr. The 10-year compound rate is 9.0%. That is 9.9% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹165 Cr.

🚨 Why profit moved: revenue contributed −12.0% and the margin −5.0 pp — the quarter was revenue-led despite a thinner margin.

Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit −31.8% vs revenue −6.4%. Profit is growing slower than sales — costs are eating the growth before it reaches the bottom line.

→ Profit rose — but did the cash follow? Next: 61% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash.

08 · Cash flow — the router

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.

Over the last 3 fiscal years 61% of Delta Corp Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — most of the profit is real cash. In FY26 that was ₹135 Cr of operating cash against ₹85.0 Cr of profit. After ₹292 Cr of capital spending, ₹−157 Cr was left as free cash.

FY26: operating cash of ₹135 Cr against reported profit of ₹85.0 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹−157 Cr after ₹292 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 61% of profit.

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

FY26: CFO ₹135 Cr vs profit ₹85.0 Cr Operating cash flow and net profit by fiscal year, ₹ Cr; the line is free cash flow (CFO minus capital spending). 11-year window, annual resolution.

🚨 Why conversion sits at 61%: the cash cycle tightened 27 days between FY21 and FY26 — cash that used to wait in the cycle now reaches the bank sooner. Less than 70% of profit arriving as cash is the thing to watch on this page.

Router verdict: the bigger cash user is investment — capital spending ran 2.8× 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: ₹425 Cr of building over 3 years.

09 · Where the cash goes

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).

Delta Corp Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs −24 days in FY26, down from 3 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹425 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹688 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹1.9 Cr, so roughly ₹−45.0 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.

FY26: debtors at 2 days, inventory at 124 days — roughly 4.1 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of −24 days, tighter than FY21's 3.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 124 days to sell; customers pay about 2 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 151 days — netting out to the −24-day cycle.

In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹688 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹1.9 Cr — so the −24-day loop keeps roughly ₹−45.0 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.

On the investment side: capital spending of ₹425 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹153 Cr of depreciation — the company is building well ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹468 Cr (FY26) — capacity paid for but not yet earning.

FY26: capex ₹292 Cr, work-in-progress ₹468 Cr Capital spending per fiscal year, ₹ Cr (bars); capital work-in-progress, ₹ Cr (line). Quarterly capital-spending history is not held for India — annual is the honest resolution.

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 5% and the ROIC − WACC spread is −8.8 pp.

10 · Return on capital

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.⚠ unverified

Delta Corp Ltd earns a ROCE of 5% in FY26. That is up from a trough of 0% in FY21. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by −8.8 percentage points, so growth here is not yet paying for the capital it uses. The wiring behind it is 12.4% net margin on 0.27× asset turns.

FY26 ROCE is 5%, recovered from a FY21 trough of 0% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.

🚨 Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 12.4% net margin × 0.27× asset turns × 1.14× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 3.8% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is modest — this is an earned return, not a borrowed one.

The capstone test — ROIC − WACC: 3.2% − 12.0% = a −8.8 pp spread. The 12.0% is a standing assumption for the cost of capital in India, not a per-stock estimate — read the sign and the size of the spread, not the decimals. Negative — growth at these returns destroys value until the returns recover.

Debt Debt-to-equity says how much of the business is funded by borrowings. Low is the safe corner; the trend matters as much as the level.⚠ unverified

12 · Ownership

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.

Domestic institutions cut 8.6 points of Delta Corp Ltd over 8 quarters, the biggest move on the register. That takes domestic institutions to 0.2% of the company. Promoters moved +1.2 points over the same window, to 34.5%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.

The register over the last two years — Domestic institutions: −8.6 points over 8 quarters to 0.2%; Promoters: +1.2 points over 8 quarters to 34.5%; Foreign institutions: −0.3 points over 8 quarters to 1.2%.

🚨 Why the register moved: domestic institutions drove it (−8.6 points), absorbed on the other side by promoters (+1.2 points) — distribution into the market’s bid.

Fiscal-year ends: promoters +1.2 pts from Mar 24 to Mar 26 Shareholding at each fiscal-year end (March quarter), % of the company. 3 year-ends held.

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

13 · 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.

Delta Corp 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.

Related companies · same sector · Miscellaneous Every company is compared on the shape of its own curves, not static ratios. The Revenue, EPS and ROCE columns each draw that company's last 12 quarters as a mini line of the ACTUAL level (trailing-twelve-month revenue and EPS, and the ROCE itself) — so a line that climbs is a business getting bigger, a line that sinks is one shrinking. The colour tracks the same line: green when it is rising or steadily healthy, amber when it is rolling over from a high (still elevated but turning down), red when it is falling, grey when flat or stuck. Colour and direction always agree — a green line never points down. The ROCE curve is the return on capital (annual readings for peers, so a slightly coarser line than the quarterly one at the top of this page). The Stage column then runs the same 12-quarter trajectory classifier used at the top of the page on each company and names where it sits. What lands a company in each bucket: CONSISTENT — growth stays positive across the window and returns are healthy (ROCE ≥ 15%, or ROE ≥ 12% for lenders); IMPROVING — profit or EPS fell into real decline, bottomed a few quarters back, and has climbed back to positive and held there; TURNING AROUND — the same kind of trough but more recent, with the latest quarters just lifting off it (an early, unconfirmed turn); TOPPING OUT — growth is still positive but decelerating hard from its own peak while returns have stopped rising; DETERIORATING — two or more growth curves are shrinking (latest below zero) and staying there, not one soft quarter; MIXED — the curves genuinely disagree, or no clean majority, so no single word fits; NO READ — fewer than eight usable quarters. It is a like-for-like read of every company against its own past, not a ranking against the group.

No — Delta Corp Ltd's debt-to-equity is 0.02, and operating profit covers the interest bill 22×. FY26 borrowings were ₹49.0 Cr against equity of ₹2,252 Cr. The returns on this page are earned, not borrowed — as of 24 July 2026.

What is Delta Corp Ltd's capex?

Delta Corp Ltd spent ₹425 Cr on capital expenditure over the last 3 fiscal years, a figure derived from the change in fixed assets plus depreciation. In FY26 alone that was ₹292 Cr, with ₹468 Cr in capital work-in-progress — capacity paid for but not yet earning. — as of 24 July 2026.

What is Delta Corp Ltd's cash flow?

Delta Corp Ltd generated ₹135 Cr of operating cash flow in FY26 and ₹−157 Cr of free cash flow after ₹292 Cr of capital spending. Reported profit that year was ₹85.0 Cr, so operating cash ran ahead of profit. Cash-flow resolution for India is annual. — as of 24 July 2026.

The latest quarter ran 17.0%. Profitability versus a company's own long band is the cleanest cycle clock this page holds — as of 24 July 2026.

What could break the Delta Corp Ltd story?

The sharpest disagreement: the price moved −28.6% in a year while annual EPS moved −65.7% — the difference is re-rating, and re-rating has to be repaid with earnings. Mechanically, two Friday closes in a row below the 200-day average would end the price trend — that is the exit rule this page tracks — as of 24 July 2026.

Is Delta Corp Ltd a stock worth studying right now?

This is not investment advice. The machine read: Delta Corp Ltd is cheap for a reason. The P/E sits at the 30th percentile of its own range, and the quarters are still getting worse. The sharpest open question: whether earnings grow into a price that has already moved. Every number on this page is drawn deterministically from the raw series, with no forecasts and no price opinions — as of 24 July 2026.
