Ganesh Housing 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.

Ganesh Housing Ltd trades at ₹823, in a downtrend and 59 weeks into that stage. That is +7.4% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 78% of a 52-week range of ₹547 to ₹900. On relative strength it has been ahead of the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view for 14 straight weeks.

Today the stock is in a downtrend — week 59 of stage 4. At ₹823 it trades +7.4% versus its 200-day average and sits at 78% of its 52-week range (₹547–₹900).

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10.3 years the stock moved +1,095% while the NIFTY 500 moved +274% — ahead of the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock has been ahead for 14 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: the P/E sits at the 86th percentile of its own range.

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.

Ganesh Housing Ltd trades at 25.1× P/E, at the pricey end of its own range (86th percentile). Its long-run median P/E is 12.5×, 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 25.1× is at the pricey end of its own range (86th percentile), against a long-run median of 12.5× 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.

🚨 Why the multiple sits where it does: over the past year annual EPS moved −47.1% against a −16.1% price move — the price outran earnings, pushing the multiple UP its own range.

The price move, decomposed: over 10y, of the +25.1%/yr price move, ~+9.8%/yr came from earnings growth and ~+15.3 pp from the multiple (expanding). 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 full 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: 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).

Ganesh Housing Ltd reads as deteriorating on its fundamental arc. Deteriorating — revenue, profit and EPS growth are shrinking (revenue growth −28.6% latest against +44.4% at its 12-quarter best), ROCE slipping at 19.4%. The read is built from 12 quarters across 4 curves, on full evidence.

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

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

4-Factor Sector Score

44.4/100 — rank 18 of 26 in Realty - Construction & Contracting · 94% evidence confidence

Ganesh Housing Ltd scores 44.4 out of 100 against the 26 companies it is compared with in Realty - Construction & Contracting, ranking 18. Balanced evidence: keep at normal research priority and require another comparable period before raising conviction.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 4.2 + 19.3 + 12.8 + 8.1 = 44.4. 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.

Ganesh Housing Ltd reported ₹280 Cr of revenue in the Jun 26 quarter, +85.4% year on year. Over 10 years it has compounded at 4.8% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹511 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹640 Cr.

FY26 revenue came in at ₹511 Cr (−46.7% on the year), capping 10 years at 4.8% compound. The latest quarter (Jun 26) printed ₹280 Cr, +85.4% year on year.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged −17.0% growth against the decade's 4.8% — the current year is running slower than its own long-run rate.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew −28.6% over the last 4 quarters against −12.5%/yr over the last 8 — rolling over; TTM profit −54.1% vs −20.0%/yr — rolling over.

→ Revenue grew — did margins hold as it scaled? Next: 39.0% this quarter (−46.0 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.

Ganesh Housing Ltd's operating margin is 39.0% in the Jun 26 quarter, −46.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. That is the widest this company has ever printed on a full-year basis. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −29.0% to 83.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

That is the widest this company has ever printed on a full-year basis. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −29.0% to 83.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

The latest quarter's operating margin is 39.0%, −46.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −29.0%–83.0%, and FY26's 83.0% is the top of that band — a record year.

🚨 Why the margin moved: operating margin went −45.6 pp year on year while gross margin went −45.8 pp — the loss came mostly from the gross line: input costs and pricing.

Worth repeating from the valuation section: cheap against its own history on record margins is not the same thing as cheap — a record margin flatters every ratio built on top of it.

→ Margins slipped — did that reach the bottom line? Next: profit −54.8% 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.

Ganesh Housing Ltd earned ₹42.0 Cr of net profit in the Jun 26 quarter, −54.8% year on year. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹316 Cr. The 10-year compound rate is 16.3%. That is 15.0% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹93.0 Cr.

Jun 26 profit was ₹42.0 Cr, −54.8% year on year. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹316 Cr (−47.2%), and the 10-year compound rate is 16.3%.

🚨 Why profit moved: revenue contributed +85.4% and the margin −46.0 pp — the quarter was revenue-led despite a thinner margin.

Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit −54.0% vs revenue −17.0%. 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: 92% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash.

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 92% of Ganesh Housing Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — the cash follows the profit. In FY26 that was ₹213 Cr of operating cash against ₹316 Cr of profit. After ₹184 Cr of capital spending, ₹29.0 Cr was left as free cash.

FY26: operating cash of ₹213 Cr against reported profit of ₹316 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹29.0 Cr after ₹184 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 92% of profit.

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

Why conversion sits at 92%: the cash cycle stretched 3,673 days between FY21 and FY26 — more of each rupee of profit waits inside the cycle before arriving.

Router verdict: the bigger cash user is investment — capital spending ran 33.9× 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: ₹711 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).

Ganesh Housing Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 4,463 days in FY26, up from 790 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹711 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹511 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹1.4 Cr, so roughly ₹6,248 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.

FY26: debtors at 208 days, inventory at 4,614 days — roughly 151.8 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of 4,463 days, looser than FY21's 790.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 4,614 days to sell; customers pay about 208 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 359 days — netting out to the 4,463-day cycle.

In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹511 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹1.4 Cr — so the 4,463-day loop keeps roughly ₹6,248 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.

On the investment side: capital spending of ₹711 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹21.0 Cr of depreciation — the company is building well ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹540 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 19% and the ROIC − WACC spread is −2.2 pp.

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.

Ganesh Housing Ltd earns a ROCE of 19% in FY26. That is up from a trough of −4% in FY20. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by −2.2 percentage points, so growth here is not yet paying for the capital it uses. The wiring behind it is 61.8% net margin on 0.18× asset turns.

FY26 ROCE is 19%, recovered from a FY20 trough of −4% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.

🚨 Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 61.8% net margin × 0.18× asset turns × 1.21× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 13.5% on equity. Margin is doing the heavy lifting; leverage is modest — this is an earned return, not a borrowed one.

The capstone test — ROIC − WACC: 9.8% − 12.0% = a −2.2 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.

→ Returns like these — is the balance sheet borrowing to make them? Next: debt-to-equity is 0.13.

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.

Ganesh Housing Ltd carries total debt of ₹305 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹2,331 Cr as of Mar 26, a debt-to-equity of 0.13 — effectively unlevered. On the annual view that ratio went from 0.16 in FY22 to 0.13 in FY26. The returns elsewhere on this page are therefore earned rather than borrowed.

Mar 26: total debt of ₹305 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹2,331 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 0.13. On the annual view, debt-to-equity went from 0.16 (FY22) to 0.13 (FY26). The returns on this page are earned, not borrowed.

→ Who owns this, and are they adding or leaving? Next: the register is quiet.

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.

No holder of Ganesh Housing Ltd moved a full percentage point over the last two years — the register is quiet. Domestic institutions moved +0.3 points over the same window, to 0.3%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.

The register over the last two years — Foreign institutions: −0.5 points over 8 quarters to 0.6%; Domestic institutions: +0.3 points over 8 quarters to 0.3%; Promoters: +0.0 points over 8 quarters to 73.1%.

→ 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.

Ganesh Housing 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.
