Valor Estate 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.

Valor Estate Ltd trades at ₹113, in a downtrend and 40 weeks into that stage. That is −7.8% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 26% of a 52-week range of ₹91 to ₹175. 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 40 of stage 4, confirmed. At ₹113 it trades −7.8% versus its 200-day average and sits at 26% of its 52-week range (₹91–₹175).

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10.4 years the stock moved +193% while the NIFTY 500 moved +276% — 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 2026-06-25) — 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.

Valor Estate Ltd trades at 114.0× P/E, at the pricey end of its own range (96th percentile). Its long-run median P/E is 18.0×, measured across 7.0 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 114.0× is at the pricey end of its own range (96th percentile), against a long-run median of 18.0× measured over 7.0 years of weekly readings. This is a comparison against the stock's own history — not a claim about what it is worth.

Put together: the multiple is full against its own past, so the story rests on the earnings line underneath it, not the multiple.

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).

Valor Estate Ltd reads as mixed on its fundamental arc. Mixed — no clean majority across the growth curves, ROCE lifting at 2.0% — the per-curve reads carry the story. The read is built from 12 quarters across 4 curves, on partial evidence.

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

The latest quarter’s profit carries a one-off item larger than the operating base, so the profit curve is shown but does not vote in 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.

4-Factor Sector Score

38.8/100 — rank 20 of 26 in Realty - Construction & Contracting · 81% evidence confidence

Valor Estate Ltd scores 38.8 out of 100 against the 26 companies it is compared with in Realty - Construction & Contracting, ranking 20. Balanced evidence: keep at normal research priority and require another comparable period before raising conviction.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 19 + 6.1 + 4.4 + 9.3 = 38.8. 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.

Valor Estate Ltd reported ₹87.0 Cr of revenue in the Mar 26 quarter, −83.8% year on year. Over 10 years it has compounded at 22.7% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹1,593 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹1,593 Cr.

FY26 revenue came in at ₹1,593 Cr (+40.6% on the year), capping 10 years at 22.7% compound. The latest quarter (Mar 26) printed ₹87.0 Cr, −83.8% year on year.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +4,085.8% growth against the decade's 22.7% — the current year is running faster than its own long-run rate.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +81.6% over the last 4 quarters against +111.2%/yr over the last 8 — 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.

Valor Estate Ltd's operating margin is −91.0% in the Mar 26 quarter, −86.8 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −444.0% to 13.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

The latest quarter's operating margin is −91.0%, −86.8 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged −444.0%–13.0%.

🚨 Why the margin moved: operating margin went −86.4 pp year on year while gross margin went +189.3 pp — the loss came mostly from the gross line: input costs and pricing.

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

Valor Estate Ltd posted a net loss of ₹59.0 Cr in the Mar 26 quarter. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹27.0 Cr. That loss is 67.8% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier lost ₹2.0 Cr. 6 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making.

Mar 26 profit was ₹−59.0 Cr, null year on year. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹27.0 Cr (null).

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 67% of Valor Estate Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — most of the profit is real cash. In FY26 that was ₹939 Cr of operating cash against ₹27.0 Cr of profit. After ₹−2,266 Cr of capital spending, ₹3,205 Cr was left as free cash.

FY26: operating cash of ₹939 Cr against reported profit of ₹27.0 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹3,205 Cr after ₹−2,266 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 67% 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 67%: the cash cycle tightened 572 days between FY21 and FY26 — cash that used to wait in the cycle now reaches the bank sooner. Less than 70% of profit arriving as cash is the thing to watch on this page.

Router verdict: the bigger cash user is investment — capital spending ran 2.0× 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).

Valor Estate Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 537 days in FY26, down from 1,109 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹174 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹1,593 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹4.4 Cr, so roughly ₹2,344 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.

FY26: debtors at 64 days, inventory at 490 days — roughly 16.1 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of 537 days, tighter than FY21's 1,109.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 490 days to sell; customers pay about 64 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 18 days — netting out to the 537-day cycle.

In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹1,593 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹4.4 Cr — so the 537-day loop keeps roughly ₹2,344 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.

On the investment side: capital spending of ₹174 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹85.0 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.

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.

Valor Estate Ltd earns a ROCE of 2% in FY26. That is up from a trough of −11% in FY23. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by −11.3 percentage points, so growth here is not yet paying for the capital it uses. The wiring behind it is 1.7% net margin on 0.25× asset turns.

FY26 ROCE is 2%, recovered from a FY23 trough of −11% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.

🚨 Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 1.7% net margin × 0.25× asset turns × 1.55× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 0.7% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is modest — this is an earned return, not a borrowed one.

The capstone test — ROIC − WACC: 0.7% − 12.0% = a −11.3 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. Negative — growth at these returns destroys value until the returns recover.

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.

Valor Estate Ltd carries total debt of ₹747 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹4,056 Cr as of Mar 26, a debt-to-equity of 0.18 — effectively unlevered. On the annual view that ratio went from 1.95 in FY22 to 0.18 in FY26. The returns elsewhere on this page are therefore earned rather than borrowed.

Mar 26: total debt of ₹747 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹4,056 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 0.18. On the annual view, debt-to-equity went from 1.95 (FY22) to 0.18 (FY26). The returns on this page are earned, not borrowed.

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.

Foreign institutions added 1.2 points of Valor Estate Ltd over 8 quarters, the biggest move on the register. That takes foreign institutions to 4.8% of the company. Promoters moved −0.2 points over the same window, to 47.2%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.

The register over the last two years — Foreign institutions: +1.2 points over 8 quarters to 4.8%; Promoters: −0.2 points over 8 quarters to 47.2%; Domestic institutions: +0.0 points over 8 quarters to 0.4%.

Why the register moved: foreign institutions drove it (+1.2 points) — steady accumulation by institutions reading the same numbers this page reads.

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.

Valor Estate 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.
