Sky Gold & Diamonds Ltd

SKYGOLD
Diamond, Gems & Jewellery

Sky Gold & Diamonds Ltd's earnings have outrun its stock. EPS grew +96.7% in a year against a +89.8% price move.

The sharpest disagreement: profits are rising, but only −105% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as operating cash — the gap between the P&L and the bank account is the thing to watch.

The price is in a confirmed uptrend (36 weeks in) while the P/E sits at the 62nd percentile of its own 4-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read improving — profit +139.5% year on year, and −105% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash. What settles it: whether the cash starts following the profit.

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.

Sky Gold & Diamonds Ltd trades at ₹621, in a confirmed uptrend and 36 weeks into that stage. That is +48.3% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 99% of a 52-week range of ₹273 to ₹624. On relative strength it has been ahead of the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view for 3 straight weeks.

Today the stock is in a confirmed uptrend — week 36 of stage 2, confirmed. At ₹621 it trades +48.3% versus its 200-day average and sits at 99% of its 52-week range (₹273–₹624).

Jul 26: ₹621 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.

Beating or trailing, week by week since 2018 Each cell is one week from 2018 to now (274 weeks): the stock's trailing 13-week return minus the NIFTY 500's, green ahead / red behind (±25% ramp). Grey cells are the 13-week warm-up or weeks where the NIFTY 500 reading is not held.
trailing 13-week return vs the NIFTY 500
Oct 18Jul 26

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 7.8 years the stock moved +6,774% while the NIFTY 500 moved +167% — ahead of the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock has been ahead for 3 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 62nd 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.

Sky Gold & Diamonds Ltd trades at 36.8× P/E, mid-range by its own standards (62nd percentile). Its long-run median P/E is 32.4×, measured across 3.5 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 36.8× is mid-range by its own standards (62nd percentile), against a long-run median of 32.4× measured over 3.5 years of weekly readings. This is a comparison against the stock's own history — not a claim about what it is worth.

PEG 0.20 PEG ratio per quarter — the P/E divided by the earnings-growth rate. The dashed line marks 1.0: below it the growth is cheap against the multiple, above it the price already prices the growth in. Computed here as quarter-end P/E ÷ trailing-twelve-month EPS growth (only quarters with positive growth), because a reported quarterly PEG is not held for this stock. Last 11 quarters.

Why the multiple sits where it does: over the past year annual EPS moved +96.7% against a +89.8% price move — earnings outran the price, pushing the multiple DOWN its own range.

The price move, decomposed: over 3y, of the +188.0%/yr price move, ~+117.4%/yr came from earnings growth and ~+70.6 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 unremarkable 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: Mixed

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).

Sky Gold & Diamonds Ltd reads as mixed on its fundamental arc. Mixed — growth is normalizing off a hyper-growth base: revenue growth has eased from +99.9% at its peak to +77.4% but is still expanding, ROCE lifting at 27.0%. The read is built from 11 quarters across 4 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. A missing point means that reading is not held for the quarter.

Why it matters: when the curves disagree, the per-curve reads above matter more than any single verdict.

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

66.9/100 — rank 4 of 26 in Diamond, Gems & Jewellery · 93% evidence confidence

Sky Gold & Diamonds Ltd scores 66.9 out of 100 against the 26 companies it is compared with in Diamond, Gems & Jewellery, ranking 4. Balanced evidence: keep at normal research priority and require another comparable period before raising conviction.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 26 + 15.1 + 8.3 + 17.5 = 66.9. 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.

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.

Sky Gold & Diamonds Ltd's operating margin is 7.0% in the Mar 26 quarter, +1.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. That is the widest this company has ever printed on a full-year basis. Across 12 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 1.0% to 7.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

Sky Gold & Diamonds Ltd's operating margin is 7.0% in the Mar 26 quarter, +1.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. That is the widest this company has ever printed on a full-year basis. Across 12 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 1.0% to 7.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

The latest quarter's operating margin is 7.0%, +1.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 12 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 1.0%–7.0%, and FY26's 7.0% is the top of that band — a record year.

Why the margin moved: operating margin went +1.4 pp year on year while gross margin went +1.1 pp — the gain 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.

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.

Sky Gold & Diamonds Ltd earned ₹91.0 Cr of net profit in the Mar 26 quarter, +139.5% year on year. It is the 12th consecutive quarter of growth. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹282 Cr. The 10-year compound rate is 75.8%. That is 4.8% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹38.0 Cr.

Why profit moved: revenue contributed +80.7% and the margin +1.0 pp — the quarter was revenue-led, with the margin roughly flat.

Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +112.3% vs revenue +76.8%. 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: −105% 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 −105% of Sky Gold & Diamonds Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — a gap worth watching. In FY26 that was ₹−45.0 Cr of operating cash against ₹282 Cr of profit. After ₹282 Cr of capital spending, ₹−327 Cr was left as free cash.

FY26: operating cash of ₹−45.0 Cr against reported profit of ₹282 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹−327 Cr after ₹282 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is −105% 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 −105%: the cash cycle stretched 34 days between FY21 and FY26 — more of each rupee of profit waits inside the cycle before arriving. Less than 70% of profit arriving as cash is the thing to watch on this page.

Router verdict: conversion is below par and the cash cycle has stretched 34 days — the next section's job is to find where the cash is stuck.

→ So follow the cash to where it goes. Next: the 77-day cycle, in money terms.

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).

Sky Gold & Diamonds Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 77 days in FY26, up from 43 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹397 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹6,295 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹17.2 Cr, so roughly ₹1,328 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.

FY26: debtors at 33 days, inventory at 50 days — roughly 1.6 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of 77 days, looser than FY21's 43.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 50 days to sell; customers pay about 33 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 6 days — netting out to the 77-day cycle.

In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹6,295 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹17.2 Cr — so the 77-day loop keeps roughly ₹1,328 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.

On the investment side: capital spending of ₹397 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹30.0 Cr of depreciation — the company is building well ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹0.0 Cr (FY26) — capacity paid for but not yet earning.

FY26: capex ₹282 Cr, work-in-progress ₹0.0 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 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 27% and the ROIC − WACC spread is +9.6 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.

Sky Gold & Diamonds Ltd earns a ROCE of 27% in FY26. That is up from a trough of 9% in FY21. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by +9.6 percentage points, so growth here adds value rather than only size. The wiring behind it is 4.5% net margin on 2.87× asset turns.

FY26 ROCE is 27%, recovered from a FY21 trough of 9% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.

Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 4.5% net margin × 2.87× asset turns × 1.83× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 23.6% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is a meaningful part of the equation.

The capstone test — ROIC − WACC: 21.6% − 12.0% = a +9.6 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.

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.

Sky Gold & Diamonds Ltd carries total debt of ₹869 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹1,206 Cr as of Mar 26, a debt-to-equity of 0.72. On the annual view that ratio went from 1.19 in FY22 to 0.72 in FY26. Read the returns elsewhere on this page with that leverage in mind.

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 14.2 points of Sky Gold & Diamonds Ltd over 8 quarters, the biggest move on the register. That takes domestic institutions to 14.2% of the company. Promoters moved −9.6 points over the same window, to 51.7%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.

The register over the last two years — Domestic institutions: +14.2 points over 8 quarters to 14.2%; Promoters: −9.6 points over 8 quarters to 51.7%; Foreign institutions: +2.7 points over 8 quarters to 2.8%.

Why the register moved: domestic institutions drove it (+14.2 points), absorbed on the other side by promoters (−9.6 points) — steady accumulation by institutions reading the same numbers this page reads.

Fiscal-year ends: promoters −9.6 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.

Sky Gold & Diamonds 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 · Diamond, Gems & Jewellery 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.

The read comes from the last 12 quarters of growth (revenue growth +77.4% latest, profit growth +112.8% latest, eps growth +90.8% latest) plus the ROCE curve, classified by deterministic rules — a trajectory read, not a buy or sell call — as of 24 July 2026.

Is Sky Gold & Diamonds Ltd beating the market?

On recent form, yes — Sky Gold & Diamonds Ltd has been ahead of the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view for 3 straight weeks, the same metric the week-by-week ribbon on this page draws. Separately, on the cumulative view: over the last 7.8 years the stock moved +6,774% against the NIFTY 500's +167% — ahead of the index over the full window. — as of 24 July 2026.

Will Sky Gold & Diamonds Ltd's share price go up?

This page publishes no price forecast for Sky Gold & Diamonds Ltd. What it measures instead: the share price is ₹621, the price is in a confirmed uptrend 36 weeks in. Its P/E of 36.8× sits at the 62nd percentile of its own 4-year range. — as of 24 July 2026.

Who owns Sky Gold & Diamonds Ltd?

Promoters hold 51.7% of Sky Gold & Diamonds Ltd, foreign institutions 2.8%, domestic institutions 14.2% and the public 31.3% (latest quarter). The biggest move on the register over the last two years: Domestic institutions added 14.2 points over 8 quarters. — as of 24 July 2026.

Does Sky Gold & Diamonds Ltd have too much debt?

It is moderate — Sky Gold & Diamonds Ltd's debt-to-equity is 0.72, and operating profit covers the interest bill 6×. FY26 borrowings were ₹869 Cr against equity of ₹1,199 Cr. Read the returns on this page with that leverage in mind — as of 24 July 2026.

What is Sky Gold & Diamonds Ltd's capex?

Sky Gold & Diamonds Ltd spent ₹397 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 ₹282 Cr, with ₹0.0 Cr in capital work-in-progress — capacity paid for but not yet earning. — as of 24 July 2026.

What is Sky Gold & Diamonds Ltd's cash flow?

Sky Gold & Diamonds Ltd generated ₹−45.0 Cr of operating cash flow in FY26 and ₹−327 Cr of free cash flow after ₹282 Cr of capital spending. Reported profit that year was ₹282 Cr, so operating cash ran behind profit. Cash-flow resolution for India is annual. — as of 24 July 2026.

Is Sky Gold & Diamonds Ltd's profit real cash?

Not fully — over the last 3 fiscal years, −105% of Sky Gold & Diamonds Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash. In FY26, operating cash was ₹−45.0 Cr against reported profit of ₹282 Cr. The cash then goes mostly into the working-capital cycle. Cash-flow resolution is annual — as of 24 July 2026.

Where is Sky Gold & Diamonds Ltd in its business cycle?

Sky Gold & Diamonds Ltd's FY26 operating margin was 7.0%, against a 12-year band of 1.0%–7.0%: the top of the band — a record year. Record profitability is late-cycle territory: every ratio flatters at the top, and the story leans on margins holding. The latest quarter ran 7.0%. 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 Sky Gold & Diamonds Ltd story?

The sharpest disagreement: profits are rising, but only −105% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as operating cash — the gap between the P&L and the bank account is the thing to watch. 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 Sky Gold & Diamonds Ltd a stock worth studying right now?

This is not investment advice. The machine read: Sky Gold & Diamonds Ltd's earnings have outrun its stock. EPS grew +96.7% in a year against a +89.8% price move. The sharpest open question: whether the cash starts following the profit. Every number on this page is drawn deterministically from the raw series, with no forecasts and no price opinions — as of 24 July 2026.
