La Opala RG Ltd
LAOPALALa Opala RG Ltd is cheap for a reason. The P/E sits at the 9th percentile of its own range, and the quarters are still getting worse.
The sharpest disagreement: the P/E sits at the 9th percentile of its own range, but the engine is deteriorating — cheap for a reason until the quarters turn.
The price is in a downtrend (86 weeks in) while the P/E sits at the 9th percentile of its own 10-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read deteriorating — profit −38.5% year on year, and 78% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash. What settles it: whether the quarters turn before the discount closes.
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.
La Opala RG Ltd trades at ₹188, in a downtrend and 86 weeks into that stage. That is −5.6% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 21% of a 52-week range of ₹170 to ₹252. On relative strength it has been ahead of the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view for 2 straight weeks.
Today the stock is in a downtrend — week 86 of stage 4, confirmed. At ₹188 it trades −5.6% versus its 200-day average and sits at 21% of its 52-week range (₹170–₹252).
Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10.3 years the stock moved −35% while the NIFTY 500 moved +274% — behind the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock has been ahead for 2 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 9th 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.
La Opala RG Ltd trades at 21.8× P/E, near the bottom of its own range — cheaper only 9% of the time. Its long-run median P/E is 35.4×, 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 21.8× is near the bottom of its own range — cheaper only 9% of the time, against a long-run median of 35.4× 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 −4.4% against a −29.1% price move — earnings outran the price, pushing the multiple DOWN its own range.
The price move, decomposed: over 5y, of the −7.3%/yr price move, ~+13.6%/yr came from earnings growth and ~−20.9 pp from the multiple (compressing); over 10y, of the −3.7%/yr price move, ~+4.2%/yr came from earnings growth and ~−7.9 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.
Stage: Mixed 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).
La Opala RG Ltd reads as mixed on its fundamental arc. Mixed — no clean majority across the growth curves, ROCE slipping at 15.0% — the per-curve reads carry the story. The read is built from 10 quarters across 3 curves, on partial evidence.
Why it matters: when the curves disagree, the per-curve reads above matter more than any single verdict.
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.
| 1yr | 3yr | 5yr | 10yr | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | −6.9% | −11.9% | +7.9% | +2.2% |
| Profit | −5.2% | −9.2% | +13.0% | +4.5% |
| EPS | −4.4% | −9.1% | +13.2% | +4.6% |
| Share price | −29.1% | −26.2% | −7.3% | −3.7% |
→ The stage names the trajectory. Next: the revenue line that produces it, quarter by quarter.
4-Factor Sector Score
52.7/100 — rank 1 of 3 in Opalware · 78% evidence confidence
La Opala RG Ltd scores 52.7 out of 100 against the 3 companies it is compared with in Opalware, ranking 1. Cheap but unconfirmed: require improving earnings before treating the valuation as an opportunity.
The four contributions add to the total exactly: 12.1 + 17.2 + 13.2 + 10.2 = 52.7. 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.
La Opala RG Ltd reported ₹68.0 Cr of revenue in the Mar 26 quarter, −11.7% year on year. Over 10 years it has compounded at 2.2% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹309 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹308 Cr.

FY26 revenue came in at ₹309 Cr (−6.9% on the year), capping 10 years at 2.2% compound. The latest quarter (Mar 26) printed ₹68.0 Cr, −11.7% year on year.
Pace check: the last four quarters averaged −7.6% growth against the decade's 2.2% — the current year is running slower than its own long-run rate.
Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew −7.2% over the last 4 quarters against −8.1%/yr over the last 8 — stabilising; TTM profit −5.2% vs −15.2%/yr — accelerating.
→ Revenue slipped — did margins hold as it scaled? Next: 36.0% this quarter (+1.0 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.
La Opala RG Ltd's operating margin is 36.0% in the Mar 26 quarter, +1.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 28.0% to 42.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

The latest quarter's operating margin is 36.0%, +1.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 28.0%–42.0%.
Why the margin moved: operating margin went +1.7 pp year on year while gross margin went +4.4 pp — the gain came mostly from the gross line: input costs and pricing.
→ Margins held — did that reach the bottom line? Next: profit −38.5% 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.
La Opala RG Ltd earned ₹16.0 Cr of net profit in the Mar 26 quarter, −38.5% year on year. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹92.0 Cr. The 10-year compound rate is 4.5%. That is 23.5% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹26.0 Cr.
La Opala RG Ltd earned ₹16.0 Cr of net profit in the Mar 26 quarter, −38.5% year on year. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹92.0 Cr. The 10-year compound rate is 4.5%. That is 23.5% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹26.0 Cr.
Mar 26 profit was ₹16.0 Cr, −38.5% year on year. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹92.0 Cr (−5.2%), and the 10-year compound rate is 4.5%.
🚨 Why profit moved: revenue contributed −11.7% and the margin +1.0 pp — the quarter was revenue-led, with the margin roughly flat.
Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit −4.4% vs revenue −7.6%. Profit is growing faster than sales — fixed costs are being spread over a bigger base, and each extra rupee of revenue drops more to the bottom line.
→ Profit rose — but did the cash follow? Next: 78% 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 78% of La Opala RG Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — most of the profit is real cash. In FY26 that was ₹68.0 Cr of operating cash against ₹92.0 Cr of profit. After ₹−1.0 Cr of capital spending, ₹69.0 Cr was left as free cash.
FY26: operating cash of ₹68.0 Cr against reported profit of ₹92.0 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹69.0 Cr after ₹−1.0 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 78% 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 78%: the cash cycle stretched 476 days between FY21 and FY26 — more of each rupee of profit waits inside the cycle before arriving.
Router verdict: conversion is below par and the cash cycle has stretched 476 days — the next section's job is to find where the cash is stuck.
→ So follow the cash to where it goes. Next: the 685-day cycle, in money terms.
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).
La Opala RG Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 685 days in FY26, up from 209 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹15.0 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹309 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹0.8 Cr, so roughly ₹580 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.
FY26: debtors at 35 days, inventory at 720 days — roughly 23.7 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of 685 days, looser than FY21's 209.
The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 720 days to sell; customers pay about 35 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 70 days — netting out to the 685-day cycle.
In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹309 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹0.8 Cr — so the 685-day loop keeps roughly ₹580 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.
On the investment side: capital spending of ₹15.0 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹61.0 Cr of depreciation — spending at or below maintenance level. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹2.0 Cr (FY26) — capacity paid for but not yet earning.
The synthesis: the working-capital loop is the cash sink the router flagged — watch the cycle, not the P&L.
→ Does all this activity actually earn its cost of capital? Next: ROCE is 15% and the ROIC − WACC spread is +10.4 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.⚠ unverified
La Opala RG Ltd earns a ROCE of 15% in FY26. That is up from a trough of 10% in FY21. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by +10.4 percentage points, so growth here adds value rather than only size. The wiring behind it is 29.8% net margin on 0.35× asset turns.
FY26 ROCE is 15%, recovered from a FY21 trough of 10% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.
Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 29.8% net margin × 0.35× asset turns × 1.09× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 11.4% 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: 22.4% − 12.0% = a +10.4 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. A spread this wide means every rupee reinvested creates more than a rupee of value — the engine compounds.
→ Returns like these — is the balance sheet borrowing to make them? Next: debt-to-equity is 0.01.
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
La Opala RG Ltd carries total debt of ₹9.0 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹820 Cr as of Mar 26, a debt-to-equity of 0.01 — effectively unlevered. On the annual view that ratio went from 0.02 in FY22 to 0.01 in FY26. The returns elsewhere on this page are therefore earned rather than borrowed.
Mar 26: total debt of ₹9.0 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹820 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 0.01. On the annual view, debt-to-equity went from 0.02 (FY22) to 0.01 (FY26). The returns on this page are earned, not borrowed.
→ Who owns this, and are they adding or leaving? Next: Domestic institutions cut 1.3 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.
Domestic institutions cut 1.3 points of La Opala RG Ltd over 8 quarters, the biggest move on the register. That takes domestic institutions to 18.6% of the company. Foreign institutions moved −1.1 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 — Domestic institutions: −1.3 points over 8 quarters to 18.6%; Foreign institutions: −1.1 points over 8 quarters to 0.5%; Promoters: +0.6 points over 8 quarters to 66.3%.
🚨 Why the register moved: domestic institutions drove it (−1.3 points), alongside foreign institutions (−1.1 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.
La Opala RG 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.

What could break the La Opala RG Ltd story?
The sharpest disagreement: the P/E sits at the 9th percentile of its own range, but the engine is deteriorating — cheap for a reason until the quarters turn.

Is La Opala RG Ltd a stock worth studying right now?
This is not investment advice. The machine read: La Opala RG Ltd is cheap for a reason. The P/E sits at the 9th percentile of its own range, and the quarters are still getting worse. The sharpest open question: whether the quarters turn before the discount closes. Every number on this page is drawn deterministically from the raw series, with no forecasts and no price opinions — as of 24 July 2026.
