Vishal Mega Mart Ltd

Textiles - Readymade Apparel

Vishal Mega Mart Ltd's earnings have outrun its stock. EPS grew +31.4% in a year against a −20.1% price move.

The sharpest disagreement: annual EPS moved +31.4% against a −20.1% price move — the market has not yet caught up with the delivery.

The price is in a downtrend (25 weeks in) while the P/E sits at the 1st percentile of its own 2-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read improving — profit +25.7% year on year, and 199% 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.

Vishal Mega Mart Ltd trades at ₹110, in a downtrend and 25 weeks into that stage. That is −9.9% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 16% of a 52-week range of ₹102 to ₹153. 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 25 of stage 4, confirmed. At ₹110 it trades −9.9% versus its 200-day average and sits at 16% of its 52-week range (₹102–₹153).

Dec 24Jul 26

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 1.6 years the stock moved +9% while the NIFTY 500 moved +4% — ahead of 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 1st 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.

Vishal Mega Mart Ltd trades at 56.7× P/E, about the cheapest it has ever traded. Its long-run median P/E is 95.8×, measured across 1.6 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 56.7× is about the cheapest it has ever traded, against a long-run median of 95.8× measured over 1.6 years of weekly readings. This is a comparison against the stock's own history — not a claim about what it is worth.

One caveat before moving on: margins are the best this company has ever printed — cheap against its own history on record margins is not the same thing as cheap. If profitability mean-reverts, today's multiple is higher than it looks.

Why the multiple sits where it does: over the past year annual EPS moved +31.4% against a −20.1% price move — earnings outran the price, pushing the multiple DOWN its own range.

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: No read

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).

Vishal Mega Mart 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 7 quarters across 1 curve, 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: with too little history, an honest page says so instead of guessing a trajectory.

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.

04 · 4-Factor Sector Score

4-Factor Sector Score

52.9/100 — rank 10 of 26 in Textiles - Readymade Apparel · 84% evidence confidence

Vishal Mega Mart Ltd scores 52.9 out of 100 against the 26 companies it is compared with in Textiles - Readymade Apparel, ranking 10. Balanced evidence: keep at normal research priority and require another comparable period before raising conviction.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 24 + 13.8 + 4.6 + 10.5 = 52.9. 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.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +20.1% growth against the decade's 16.0% — the current year is running faster than its own long-run rate.

→ Revenue grew — did margins hold as it scaled? Next: 15.0% this quarter (+0.0 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.

Vishal Mega Mart Ltd's operating margin is 15.0% in the Jun 26 quarter, +0.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. That is the widest this company has ever printed on a full-year basis. Across 7 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 12.0% to 15.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

Vishal Mega Mart Ltd's operating margin is 15.0% in the Jun 26 quarter, +0.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. That is the widest this company has ever printed on a full-year basis. Across 7 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 12.0% to 15.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

The latest quarter's operating margin is 15.0%, +0.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 7 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 12.0%–15.0%, and FY26's 15.0% is the top of that band — a record year.

Why the margin moved: operating margin went +0.0 pp year on year while gross margin went +0.3 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.

Vishal Mega Mart Ltd earned ₹259 Cr of net profit in the Jun 26 quarter, +25.7% year on year. It is the 7th consecutive quarter of growth. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹839 Cr. The 6-year compound rate is 62.8%. That is 6.9% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹206 Cr.

Why profit moved: revenue contributed +18.7% and the margin +0.0 pp — the quarter was revenue-led, with the margin roughly flat.

Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +34.3% vs revenue +20.1%. 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: 199% 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 199% of Vishal Mega Mart Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — the cash follows the profit. In FY26 that was ₹1,621 Cr of operating cash against ₹839 Cr of profit. After ₹1,040 Cr of capital spending, ₹581 Cr was left as free cash.

FY26: operating cash of ₹1,621 Cr against reported profit of ₹839 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹581 Cr after ₹1,040 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 199% of profit.

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

316%258%200%142%84%%193%FY20FY23FY26

Why conversion sits at 199%: the cash cycle stretched 51 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 1.5× 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: ₹2,734 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).

Vishal Mega Mart Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 17 days in FY26, up from −34 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹2,734 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹12,906 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹35.4 Cr, so roughly ₹601 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.

FY26: debtors at 1 days, inventory at 80 days — roughly 2.6 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of 17 days, looser than FY21's −34.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 80 days to sell; customers pay about 1 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 64 days — netting out to the 17-day cycle.

In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹12,906 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹35.4 Cr — so the 17-day loop keeps roughly ₹601 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.

158107553−48days17d80d1d64dFY20FY23FY26

On the investment side: capital spending of ₹2,734 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹1,780 Cr of depreciation — the company is building well ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹34.0 Cr (FY26) — capacity paid for but not yet earning.

FY26: capex ₹1,040 Cr, work-in-progress ₹34.0 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 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 15% and the ROIC − WACC spread is +0.3 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.

Vishal Mega Mart Ltd earns a ROCE of 15% in FY26. That is up from a trough of 8% in FY21. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by +0.3 percentage points, so growth here adds value rather than only size. The wiring behind it is 6.5% net margin on 1.13× asset turns.

FY26 ROCE is 15%, recovered from a FY21 trough of 8% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.

Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 6.5% net margin × 1.13× asset turns × 1.54× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 11.3% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is modest — this is an earned return, not a borrowed one.

The capstone test — ROIC − WACC: 12.3% − 12.0% = a +0.3 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. Positive but thin — value creation with little room for error.

→ Returns like these — is the balance sheet borrowing to make them? Next: debt-to-equity is 0.27.

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.

Vishal Mega Mart Ltd carries total debt of ₹1,988 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹7,413 Cr as of Mar 26, a debt-to-equity of 0.27 — effectively unlevered. On the annual view that ratio went from 0.26 in FY24 to 0.27 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.

Promoters cut 35.9 points of Vishal Mega Mart Ltd over 6 quarters, the biggest move on the register. That takes promoters to 40.1% of the company. Domestic institutions moved +24.9 points over the same window, to 34.8%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.

The register over the last two years — Promoters: −35.9 points over 6 quarters to 40.1%; Domestic institutions: +24.9 points over 6 quarters to 34.8%; Foreign institutions: +13.8 points over 6 quarters to 20.4%.

🚨 Why the register moved: promoters drove it (−35.9 points), absorbed on the other side by domestic institutions (+24.9 points) — distribution into the market’s bid.

Fiscal-year ends: promoters −34.4 pts from Mar 25 to Mar 26 Shareholding at each fiscal-year end (March quarter), % of the company. 2 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.

Vishal Mega Mart 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.

Is Vishal Mega Mart Ltd a stock worth studying right now?

This is not investment advice. The machine read: Vishal Mega Mart Ltd's earnings have outrun its stock. EPS grew +31.4% in a year against a −20.1% 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.
