Magadh Sugar & Energy Ltd
MAGADSUGARMagadh Sugar & Energy Ltd's three tracks disagree. Price, valuation and the earnings engine each tell a different story — the next quarter or two settles it.
Biggest watch item: the P/E sits at the 82nd percentile of its own range — the multiple has already done part of the work.
The price is in a downtrend (50 weeks in) while the P/E sits at the 82nd percentile of its own 9-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read deteriorating — profit −31.9% year on year, and 110% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash. What settles it: the next one or two quarters of delivery.
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.
Magadh Sugar & Energy Ltd trades at ₹500, in a downtrend and 50 weeks into that stage. That is +0.1% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 46% of a 52-week range of ₹427 to ₹585. 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 50 of stage 4, confirmed. At ₹500 it trades +0.1% versus its 200-day average and sits at 46% of its 52-week range (₹427–₹585).
Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 9.0 years the stock moved +146% while the NIFTY 500 moved +166% — 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 82nd 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.
Magadh Sugar & Energy Ltd trades at 11.0× P/E, at the pricey end of its own range (82nd percentile). Its long-run median P/E is 7.9×, measured across 8.5 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 11.0× is at the pricey end of its own range (82nd percentile), against a long-run median of 7.9× measured over 8.5 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 −42.0% against a −21.5% price move — the price outran earnings, pushing the multiple UP its own range.
The price move, decomposed: over 5y, of the +8.9%/yr price move, ~+18.4%/yr came from earnings growth and ~−9.5 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 full 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: 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).
Magadh Sugar & 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 10 quarters across 3 curves, on partial evidence.
Why it matters: with too little history, an honest page says so instead of guessing a trajectory.
The latest quarter’s profit carries a one-off item larger than the operating base, so the profit curve is shown but does not vote in the stage call.
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.
| 1yr | 3yr | 5yr | 10yr | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | −5.8% | +9.3% | +5.5% | — |
| Profit | −41.3% | +8.6% | +18.8% | — |
| EPS | −42.0% | +8.1% | +18.6% | — |
| Share price | −21.5% | +5.9% | +8.9% | — |
→ The stage names the trajectory. Next: the revenue line that produces it, quarter by quarter.
4-Factor Sector Score
34.5/100 — rank 18 of 20 in Sugar · 77% evidence confidence
Magadh Sugar & Energy Ltd scores 34.5 out of 100 against the 20 companies it is compared with in Sugar, 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: 6.2 + 10.9 + 10.5 + 6.9 = 34.5. 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.
Revenue Revenue is the top line: everything the company billed its customers in the period.
Magadh Sugar & Energy Ltd reported ₹291 Cr of revenue in the Mar 26 quarter, −18.0% year on year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹1,245 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹1,244 Cr. A multi-year compound rate is not shown because the annual history behind it is too short to compute one honestly.

A multi-year compound rate is not shown because the annual history behind it is too short to compute one honestly.
FY26 revenue came in at ₹1,245 Cr (−5.8% on the year). The latest quarter (Mar 26) printed ₹291 Cr, −18.0% year on year.
Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew −5.9% over the last 4 quarters against +6.5%/yr over the last 8 — rolling over; TTM profit −41.3% vs −26.0%/yr — rolling over.
→ Revenue slipped — did margins hold as it scaled? Next: 27.0% this quarter (−5.0 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.
Magadh Sugar & Energy Ltd's operating margin is 27.0% in the Mar 26 quarter, −5.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 10 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 9.0% to 24.0%. The current quarter is running above every full year in that window.

The latest quarter's operating margin is 27.0%, −5.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 10 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 9.0%–24.0%.
🚨 Why the margin moved: operating margin went −5.7 pp year on year while gross margin went −1.7 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 −31.9% 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.
Magadh Sugar & Energy Ltd earned ₹49.0 Cr of net profit in the Mar 26 quarter, −31.9% year on year. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹64.0 Cr. That is 16.8% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹72.0 Cr. 1 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making.

Mar 26 profit was ₹49.0 Cr, −31.9% year on year. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹64.0 Cr (−41.3%).
🚨 Why profit moved: revenue contributed −18.0% and the margin −5.0 pp — the quarter was revenue-led despite a thinner margin.
Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit −103.2% vs revenue −5.3%. 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: 110% 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 110% of Magadh Sugar & Energy Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — the cash follows the profit. In FY26 that was ₹148 Cr of operating cash against ₹64.0 Cr of profit. After ₹63.0 Cr of capital spending, ₹85.0 Cr was left as free cash.
FY26: operating cash of ₹148 Cr against reported profit of ₹64.0 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹85.0 Cr after ₹63.0 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 110% 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 110%: the cash cycle held roughly steady between FY21 and FY26 — so conversion tracks profitability rather than the cycle.
Router verdict: the bigger cash user is investment — capital spending ran 3.2× 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: ₹259 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).
Magadh Sugar & Energy Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 257 days in FY26, down from 258 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹259 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹1,245 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹3.4 Cr, so roughly ₹877 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.
FY26: debtors at 6 days, inventory at 260 days — roughly 8.6 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of 257 days, tighter than FY21's 258.
The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 260 days to sell; customers pay about 6 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 9 days — netting out to the 257-day cycle.
In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹1,245 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹3.4 Cr — so the 257-day loop keeps roughly ₹877 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.
On the investment side: capital spending of ₹259 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹82.0 Cr of depreciation — the company is building well ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹30.0 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 8% and the ROIC − WACC spread is −5.5 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
Magadh Sugar & Energy Ltd earns a ROCE of 8% in FY26. That is up from a trough of −25% in FY16. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by −5.5 percentage points, so growth here is not yet paying for the capital it uses. The wiring behind it is 5.1% net margin on 0.74× asset turns.
FY26 ROCE is 8%, recovered from a FY16 trough of −25% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.
🚨 Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 5.1% net margin × 0.74× asset turns × 1.91× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 7.2% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is a meaningful part of the equation.
The capstone test — ROIC − WACC: 6.5% − 12.0% = a −5.5 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 0.79.
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
Magadh Sugar & Energy Ltd carries total debt of ₹691 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹880 Cr as of Mar 26, a debt-to-equity of 0.79. On the annual view that ratio went from 1.07 in FY22 to 0.79 in FY26. Read the returns elsewhere on this page with that leverage in mind.
Mar 26: total debt of ₹691 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹880 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 0.79. On the annual view, debt-to-equity went from 1.07 (FY22) to 0.79 (FY26). Read the returns on this page with that leverage in mind.
→ 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 Magadh Sugar & Energy Ltd moved a full percentage point over the last two years — the register is quiet. Promoters moved +0.0 points over the same window, to 61.0%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.
The register over the last two years — Foreign institutions: −0.4 points over 8 quarters to 0.1%; Promoters: +0.0 points over 8 quarters to 61.0%; Domestic institutions: +0.0 points over 8 quarters to 0.0%.
→ 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.
Magadh Sugar & 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.
