Sector Alpha Week of 2026-08-18
Sector Alpha — machine-written from the numbers · Data as of 2026-08-18

Shri Venkatesh Refineries Ltd

SVRL
Solvent Extraction

Shri Venkatesh Refineries Ltd's earnings have outrun its stock. EPS grew +111.4% in a year against a +19.0% price move.

The sharpest disagreement: profits are rising, but only −137% 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 (94 weeks in) while the P/E sits at the 81st percentile of its own 5-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read improving — profit +118.2% year on year, and −137% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash. What settles it: whether the cash starts following the profit.

Unverified figures: Some figures on this page come from a second financial-data feed that could not be cross-checked against the primary source — the two do not share enough overlapping reported history to compare. They are drawn, because they are the only evidence there is, and every section carrying one is marked unverified.
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.

Shri Venkatesh Refineries Ltd trades at ₹253, in a confirmed uptrend and 94 weeks into that stage. That is +0.2% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 54% of a 52-week range of ₹196 to ₹300. On relative strength it is currently behind the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view (4 weeks and counting).

Today the stock is in a confirmed uptrend — week 94 of stage 2, confirmed. At ₹253 it trades +0.2% versus its 200-day average and sits at 54% of its 52-week range (₹196–₹300).

Mar 26: ₹253 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.

Oct 21Mar 26

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 4.4 years the stock moved +1,080% while the NIFTY 500 moved +44% — ahead of the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock is currently behind (4 weeks and counting; last ahead the week of 2026-02-06) — 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.

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.

Shri Venkatesh Refineries Ltd trades at 29.8× P/E, at the pricey end of its own range (81st percentile). Its long-run median P/E is 19.3×, measured across 4.8 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 29.8× is at the pricey end of its own range (81st percentile), against a long-run median of 19.3× measured over 4.8 years of weekly readings. This is a comparison against the stock's own history — not a claim about what it is worth.

P/E 29.8× vs a 19.3× long-run median P/E, weekly (left axis); earnings per share, trailing twelve months, weekly (right axis). 4.8-year window; loss-period spikes above 35× shown pinned at the top. The eps (ttm) bars are red where the reading is lower than the quarter before.

81st percentile of 5y

Why the multiple sits where it does: over the past year annual EPS moved +111.4% against a +19.0% price move — earnings outran the price, pushing the multiple DOWN its own range.

The price move, decomposed: over 3y, of the +37.3%/yr price move, ~+46.2%/yr came from earnings growth and ~−8.9 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 full against its own past, so the story rests on the earnings line underneath it, not the multiple.

03 · What the price assumes

What the price assumes This reading works the multiple backwards. It asks one question: what yearly rate of profit growth is a buyer at the market price already paying for? The number is the growth rate that makes eleven years of profit — six years growing, then five fading — add up to that day's market price, once each year is discounted at 11% a year.

At its price on 13 June 2026, Shri Venkatesh Refineries Ltd was priced for profit growth of about 6.6% a year. Profit itself has compounded 57.6% a year over the past 8 years. The market pays that at 29.8× P/E, the 81st percentile of its own 5-year range.

What the two numbers say together. The multiple is full against its own past, and the growth the price is paying for is below what this company has actually delivered. Both readings sit on the same earnings, so they are one reading rather than two.

How to hold this number: it is a reading of one day's price, taken on 13 June 2026, not a running figure. A higher price is paying for more growth and a lower price for less, so it moves whenever the price does, and this page does not restate it between measurements. Every other number on this page is read off the live quote.

04 · 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).

Shri Venkatesh Refineries Ltd reads as turning around on its fundamental arc. Turning around — profit growth swung from −12.5% at the trough to +118.2% off a 5-quarter-old trough (single-quarter readings), ROCE holding at 20.0%. The read is built from 9 quarters across 3 curves, on partial evidence.

Growth, year by year: revenue +96.3% in FY26, profit +111.1% Year-over-year growth per fiscal year, %: revenue (left axis); net profit and EPS (right axis — profit growth swings far wider). Zero line drawn.

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.

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.

05 · 4-Factor Sector Score

4-Factor Sector Score

60.7/100 — rank 1 of 1 in Solvent Extraction · 59% evidence confidence

Shri Venkatesh Refineries Ltd scores 60.7 out of 100 against the 1 companies it is compared with in Solvent Extraction, ranking 1. Fill the missing evidence before acting; the ranking is deliberately pulled toward neutral.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 23.8 + 16.4 + 8.5 + 12 = 60.7. 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.

06 · Revenue

Revenue Revenue is the top line: everything the company billed its customers in the period.

Shri Venkatesh Refineries Ltd reported ₹822 Cr of revenue in the Mar 26 quarter, +109.2% year on year. That is the 4th straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 8 years it has compounded at 34.1% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹1,378 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹2,079 Cr.

FY26 revenue came in at ₹1,378 Cr (+96.3% on the year), capping 8 years at 34.1% compound. The latest quarter (Mar 26) printed ₹822 Cr, +109.2% year on year — the 4th consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +58.4% growth against the decade's 34.1% — the current year is running faster than its own long-run rate.

07 · 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.

Shri Venkatesh Refineries Ltd's operating margin is 5.0% in the Mar 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 the last four quarters the operating margin has moved +0.2 percentage points. The current quarter sits inside that band.

The latest quarter's operating margin is 5.0%, +0.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 9 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 2.3%–5.0%, and FY26's 5.0% is the top of that band — a record year.

Why the margin moved: operating margin went +0.8 pp year on year while gross margin went +0.6 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.

08 · Net profit

Net profit Net profit is what survives every cost, interest and tax — the number EPS, dividends and book value all grow from.

Shri Venkatesh Refineries Ltd earned ₹24.0 Cr of net profit in the Mar 26 quarter, +118.2% year on year. It is the 3rd consecutive quarter of growth. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹38.0 Cr. The 8-year compound rate is 57.6%. That is 2.9% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹8.0 Cr.

Mar 26 profit was ₹24.0 Cr, +118.2% year on year — the 3rd consecutive quarter of growth. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹38.0 Cr (+111.1%), and the 8-year compound rate is 57.6%.

Why profit moved: revenue contributed +109.2% and the margin +0.0 pp — the quarter was revenue-led, with the margin roughly flat.

Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +63.9% vs revenue +58.4%. 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.

09 · 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 −137% of Shri Venkatesh Refineries Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — a gap worth watching. In FY26 that was ₹−70.0 Cr of operating cash against ₹38.0 Cr of profit. After ₹37.0 Cr of capital spending, ₹−107 Cr was left as free cash.

FY26: operating cash of ₹−70.0 Cr against reported profit of ₹38.0 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹−107 Cr after ₹37.0 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is −137% 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 −137%: the cash cycle stretched 20 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 20 days — the next section's job is to find where the cash is stuck.

10 · 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).

Shri Venkatesh Refineries Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 84 days in FY26, up from 64 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹88.0 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹1,378 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹3.8 Cr, so roughly ₹317 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.

FY26: debtors at 13 days, inventory at 106 days — roughly 3.5 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of 84 days, looser than FY21's 64.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 106 days to sell; customers pay about 13 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 35 days — netting out to the 84-day cycle.

In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹1,378 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹3.8 Cr — so the 84-day loop keeps roughly ₹317 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.

On the investment side: capital spending of ₹88.0 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹5.0 Cr of depreciation — the company is building well ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹25.0 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.

11 · 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.

Shri Venkatesh Refineries Ltd earns a ROCE of 20% in FY26. That is up from a trough of 13% in FY20. A return-on-invested-capital spread against the cost of capital is not computable from what is held here. The wiring behind it is 2.8% net margin on 2.35× asset turns.

FY26 ROCE is 20%, recovered from a FY20 trough of 13% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.

Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 2.8% net margin × 2.35× asset turns × 4.48× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 29.5% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is a meaningful part of the equation.

12 · Debt

Debt Debt-to-equity says how much of the business is funded by borrowings; interest cover says how many times operating profit pays the interest bill. Low and high, respectively, is the safe corner.

Shri Venkatesh Refineries Ltd carries ₹313 Cr of borrowings against ₹131 Cr of equity in FY26, a debt-to-equity of 2.39. Operating profit covers the interest bill 4×. Over 5 years borrowings went from ₹58.0 Cr to ₹313 Cr. Capital spending ran ₹88.0 Cr across the last 3 of those years.

FY26: borrowings of ₹313 Cr against equity of ₹131 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 2.39. Operating profit covers the interest bill 4×. Over 5 years borrowings went from ₹58.0 Cr to ₹313 Cr while capital spending ran ₹88.0 Cr in just the last 3 — part of the build-out is riding on borrowed money.

13 · 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.

No holder of Shri Venkatesh Refineries 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 73.5%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.

The register over the last two years — Domestic institutions: +0.1 points over 8 quarters to 0.1%; Promoters: +0.0 points over 8 quarters to 73.5%.

Fiscal-year ends: promoters +0.0 pts from Mar 23 to Mar 26 Shareholding at each fiscal-year end (March quarter), % of the company. 4 year-ends held.

14 · 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.

Shri Venkatesh Refineries 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.

Exact sum: 23.8 + 16.4 + 8.5 + 12 = 60.7 · Decision use: Fill the missing evidence before acting; the ranking is deliberately pulled toward neutral.

Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led NIFTY 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step curve the sector itself is placed on — basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep — read from how many weeks running it has led NIFTY 500 and whether that lead is widening or shrinking. It describes where the PRICE stands, not the earnings trajectory and not a recommendation, and it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read.
