String Metaverse Ltd

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.

String Metaverse Ltd trades at ₹8.1, in a downtrend and 21 weeks into that stage. That is −13.7% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 9% of a 52-week range of ₹6 to ₹32. 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 21 of stage 4, confirmed. At ₹8.1 it trades −13.7% versus its 200-day average and sits at 9% of its 52-week range (₹6–₹32).

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10.3 years the stock moved +5,320% while the NIFTY 500 moved +245% — ahead of 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.

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.

String Metaverse Ltd trades at 8.2× P/E, near the bottom of its own range — cheaper only 4% of the time. Its long-run median P/E is 43.9×, measured across 1.9 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 8.2× is near the bottom of its own range — cheaper only 4% of the time, against a long-run median of 43.9× measured over 1.9 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 +380.0% against a −67.2% 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.

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.

Solved at its 13 June 2026 price, String Metaverse Ltd was paying for profit growth of about 3.8% a year. Today the market pays 8.2× P/E, the 4th percentile of its own 2-year range.

What the two numbers say together. The multiple is low against its own past, and the growth the price is paying for is the whole of what a buyer is backing.

How to hold this number: it is a reading of one day's price, taken on 13 June 2026, not a running figure — every other number on this page, the multiple included, is read off the live quote as of 11 September 2026. 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.

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).

String Metaverse 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 5 quarters across 1 curve, on partial evidence.

Why it matters: with too little history, an honest page says so instead of guessing a trajectory.

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.

4-Factor Sector Score

63.4/100 — rank 6 of 64 in IT - Software · 82% evidence confidence

String Metaverse Ltd scores 63.4 out of 100 against the 64 companies it is compared with in IT - Software, ranking 6. Acceleration candidate, not a confirmed leader: earnings are strong but sector-relative strength is -48% and the one-year return is -70.4%. Do not upgrade until sector-relative strength is above zero and another reported period confirms growth.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 27.2 + 15.7 + 14.8 + 5.7 = 63.4. 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.

String Metaverse Ltd reported ₹392 Cr of revenue in the Jun 26 quarter, +97.0% year on year. That is the 5th straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 7 years it has compounded at 94.9% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹1,069 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹1,261 Cr.

FY26 revenue came in at ₹1,069 Cr (+162.7% on the year), capping 7 years at 94.9% compound. The latest quarter (Jun 26) printed ₹392 Cr, +97.0% year on year — the 5th consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +133.3% growth against the decade's 94.9% — the current year is running faster than its own long-run rate.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +126.4% over the last 4 quarters against +402.2%/yr over the last 8 — rolling over; TTM profit +154.2% vs +452.3%/yr — rolling over.

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.

String Metaverse Ltd's operating margin is 11.0% 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 5 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 8.0% to 11.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

The latest quarter's operating margin is 11.0%, +0.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 8.0%–11.0%, and FY26's 11.0% is the top of that band — a record year.

Why the margin moved: operating margin went +0.3 pp year on year while gross margin went +0.0 pp — the gain came mostly below the gross line: operating leverage, with costs spread over a bigger revenue base.

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.

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

String Metaverse Ltd earned ₹37.0 Cr of net profit in the Jun 26 quarter, +105.6% year on year. It is the 5th consecutive quarter of growth. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹103 Cr. That is 9.4% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹18.0 Cr. 1 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making.

Jun 26 profit was ₹37.0 Cr, +105.6% year on year — the 5th consecutive quarter of growth. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹103 Cr (+194.3%).

Why profit moved: revenue contributed +97.0% and the margin +0.0 pp — the quarter was revenue-led, with the margin roughly flat.

Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +167.3% vs revenue +133.3%. 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.

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 129% of String Metaverse Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — the cash follows the profit. In FY26 that was ₹144 Cr of operating cash against ₹103 Cr of profit. After ₹163 Cr of capital spending, ₹−19.0 Cr was left as free cash.

FY26: operating cash of ₹144 Cr against reported profit of ₹103 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹−19.0 Cr after ₹163 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 129% 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 129%: the cash cycle tightened 388 days between FY19 and FY26 — cash that used to wait in the cycle now reaches the bank sooner.

Router verdict: the bigger cash user is investment — capital spending ran 10.5× depreciation over three years, so the next section's job is to check what that build-out is buying.

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).

String Metaverse Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 1 days in FY26, down from 389 days in FY19. Capital spending ran ₹284 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹1,069 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹2.9 Cr, so roughly ₹3.0 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.

FY26: debtors at 1 days (an asset-light business — no inventory to speak of) — for a full cycle of 1 days, tighter than FY19's 389.

In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹1,069 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹2.9 Cr — so the 1-day loop keeps roughly ₹3.0 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.

On the investment side: capital spending of ₹284 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹27.0 Cr of depreciation — the company is building well ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹22.0 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.

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.

String Metaverse Ltd earns a ROCE of 42% in FY26. That is up from a trough of −6% in FY21. A return-on-invested-capital spread against the cost of capital is not computable from what is held here. The wiring behind it is 9.6% net margin on 3.13× asset turns.

FY26 ROCE is 42%, recovered from a FY21 trough of −6% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.

Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 9.6% net margin × 3.13× asset turns × 1.03× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 30.9% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is modest — this is an earned return, not a borrowed one.

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.

String Metaverse Ltd carries ₹6.0 Cr of borrowings against ₹331 Cr of equity in FY26, a debt-to-equity of 0.02. Over 6 years borrowings went from ₹3.0 Cr to ₹6.0 Cr. Capital spending ran ₹284 Cr across the last 3 of those years.

FY26: borrowings of ₹6.0 Cr against equity of ₹331 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 0.02. Over 6 years borrowings went from ₹3.0 Cr to ₹6.0 Cr while capital spending ran ₹284 Cr in just the last 3 — part of the build-out is riding on borrowed money.

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 14.0 points of String Metaverse Ltd over 8 quarters, the biggest move on the register. That takes promoters to 75.0% of the company. Domestic institutions moved +0.0 points over the same window, to 0.0%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.

The register over the last two years — Promoters: −14.0 points over 8 quarters to 75.0%; Domestic institutions: +0.0 points over 8 quarters to 0.0%.

🚨 Why the register moved: promoters drove it (−14.0 points) — distribution into the market’s bid.

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.

String Metaverse 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.
