Vedant Fashions Ltd

MANYAVAR
Textiles - Readymade Apparel

Vedant Fashions Ltd's earnings have outrun its stock. EPS grew −3.5% in a year against a −50.1% price move.

The sharpest disagreement: annual EPS moved −3.5% against a −50.1% price move — the market has not yet caught up with the delivery.

The price is in a downtrend (76 weeks in) while the P/E sits at the 6th percentile of its own 4-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read improving — profit +36.7% year on year, and 113% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash. What settles it: whether the price catches up with earnings that have already moved.

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.

Vedant Fashions Ltd trades at ₹399, in a downtrend and 76 weeks into that stage. That is −21.3% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 13% of a 52-week range of ₹342 to ₹776. On relative strength it is currently behind the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view (6 weeks and counting).

Today the stock is in a downtrend — week 76 of stage 4, confirmed. At ₹399 it trades −21.3% versus its 200-day average and sits at 13% of its 52-week range (₹342–₹776).

Jul 26: ₹399 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.

Feb 22Jul 26

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 4.4 years the stock moved −56% while the NIFTY 500 moved +61% — behind the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock is currently behind (6 weeks and counting; last ahead the week of 2026-06-19) — 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 6th 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.

Vedant Fashions Ltd trades at 24.3× P/E, near the bottom of its own range — cheaper only 6% of the time. Its long-run median P/E is 69.3×, measured across 4.4 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 24.3× is near the bottom of its own range — cheaper only 6% of the time, against a long-run median of 69.3× measured over 4.4 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 −3.5% against a −50.1% price move — earnings outran the price, pushing the multiple DOWN its own range.

The price move, decomposed: over 3y, of the −31.3%/yr price move, ~−2.0%/yr came from earnings growth and ~−29.3 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.

→ 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: Turning around

Stage: Turning around 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).

Vedant Fashions Ltd reads as turning around on its fundamental arc. Turning around — profit growth swung from −8.9% at the trough to +36.7%, a 2-quarter improving streak (single-quarter readings), ROCE slipping at 30.4%. The read is built from 11 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: growth inflections are where re-ratings start — the curves say a turn is forming, so the question becomes whether the next quarters confirm it.

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.

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

48.0/100 — rank 18 of 26 in Textiles - Readymade Apparel · 90% evidence confidence

Vedant Fashions Ltd scores 48.0 out of 100 against the 26 companies it is compared with in Textiles - Readymade Apparel, ranking 18. Cheap but unconfirmed: require improving earnings before treating the valuation as an opportunity.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 10 + 19.8 + 14.7 + 3.5 = 48. 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.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +3.3% growth against the decade's 10.3% — the current year is running slower than its own long-run rate.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +2.4% over the last 4 quarters against +3.6%/yr over the last 8 — stabilising; TTM profit +0.8% vs +2.0%/yr — stabilising.

→ Revenue grew — did margins hold as it scaled? Next: 46.0% this quarter (+3.0 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.

Vedant Fashions Ltd's operating margin is 46.0% in the Sep 24 quarter, +3.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 7 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 31.0% to 50.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

The latest quarter's operating margin is 46.0%, +3.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 7 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 31.0%–50.0%.

Why the margin moved: operating margin went +3.0 pp year on year while gross margin went +1.8 pp — the gain came mostly from the gross line: input costs and pricing.

→ Margins held — did that reach the bottom line? Next: profit +36.7% 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.

Vedant Fashions Ltd earned ₹67.0 Cr of net profit in the Sep 24 quarter, +36.7% year on year. Full-year FY24 profit was ₹414 Cr. The 6-year compound rate is 18.7%. That is 25.0% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹49.0 Cr.

Why profit moved: revenue contributed +22.9% and the margin +3.0 pp — the quarter was margin-led: most of the profit growth came from keeping more of each sale.

Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +4.0% vs revenue +3.3%. Profit and revenue are moving roughly in step.

→ Profit rose — but did the cash follow? Next: 113% 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 113% of Vedant Fashions Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — the cash follows the profit. In FY24 that was ₹483 Cr of operating cash against ₹414 Cr of profit. After ₹276 Cr of capital spending, ₹207 Cr was left as free cash.

FY24: operating cash of ₹483 Cr against reported profit of ₹414 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹207 Cr after ₹276 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 113% of profit.

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

FY24: CFO ₹483 Cr vs profit ₹414 Cr Operating cash flow and net profit by fiscal year, ₹ Cr; the line is free cash flow (CFO minus capital spending). 7-year window, annual resolution.

Why conversion sits at 113%: the cash cycle held roughly steady between FY19 and FY24 — so conversion tracks profitability rather than the cycle.

Router verdict: the bigger cash user is investment — capital spending ran 1.6× 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: ₹537 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).

Vedant Fashions Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 200 days in FY24, down from 205 days in FY19. Capital spending ran ₹537 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY24 sales of ₹1,368 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹3.7 Cr, so roughly ₹750 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.

FY24: debtors at 151 days, inventory at 139 days — roughly 4.6 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of 200 days, tighter than FY19's 205.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 139 days to sell; customers pay about 151 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 89 days — netting out to the 200-day cycle.

In money terms: at FY24 sales of ₹1,368 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹3.7 Cr — so the 200-day loop keeps roughly ₹750 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.

On the investment side: capital spending of ₹537 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹333 Cr of depreciation — the company is building well ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹0.0 Cr (FY24) — 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 31% and the ROIC − WACC spread is +6.8 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.

Vedant Fashions Ltd earns a ROCE of 31% in FY24. That is up from a trough of 15% in FY21. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by +6.8 percentage points, so growth here adds value rather than only size. The wiring behind it is 30.3% net margin on 0.55× asset turns.

FY24 ROCE is 31%, recovered from a FY21 trough of 15% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.

Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY24): 30.3% net margin × 0.55× asset turns × 1.57× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 26.2% 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: 18.8% − 12.0% = a +6.8 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. 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 0.28.

11 · Debt

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.

Vedant Fashions Ltd carries total debt of ₹458 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹1,964 Cr as of Mar 26, a debt-to-equity of 0.23 — effectively unlevered. On the annual view that ratio went from 0.26 in FY22 to 0.23 in FY26. The returns elsewhere on this page are therefore earned rather than borrowed.

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 added 1.3 points of Vedant Fashions Ltd over 8 quarters, the biggest move on the register. That takes domestic institutions to 13.2% of the company. Foreign institutions moved −1.1 points over the same window, to 8.0%. 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 13.2%; Foreign institutions: −1.1 points over 8 quarters to 8.0%; Promoters: +0.0 points over 8 quarters to 74.9%.

Why the register moved: domestic institutions drove it (+1.3 points), absorbed on the other side by foreign institutions (−1.1 points) — steady accumulation by institutions reading the same numbers this page reads.

→ 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.

Vedant Fashions 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 · Textiles - Readymade Apparel 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.

What is Vedant Fashions Ltd's capex?

Vedant Fashions Ltd spent ₹537 Cr on capital expenditure over the last 3 fiscal years, a figure derived from the change in fixed assets plus depreciation. In FY24 alone that was ₹276 Cr, with ₹0.0 Cr in capital work-in-progress — capacity paid for but not yet earning. — as of 24 July 2026.

What could break the Vedant Fashions Ltd story?

The sharpest disagreement: annual EPS moved −3.5% against a −50.1% price move — the market has not yet caught up with the delivery. 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 Vedant Fashions Ltd a stock worth studying right now?

This is not investment advice. The machine read: Vedant Fashions Ltd's earnings have outrun its stock. EPS grew −3.5% in a year against a −50.1% price move. The sharpest open question: whether the price catches up with earnings that have 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.
