(From the NSE corporate-actions record, read 4 November 2026.) ## What did Vijaya Diagnostic Centre management say on the latest results call? On the call for April to June 2026, held on 7 August 2026, Vijaya Diagnostic Centre's management guided: Next-12-month expansion: nine hubs, including two in Pune, 10-12 spokes and Pune backend infrastructure. > Narasimha Raju, on the call for April to June 2026 ### What management guided - FY27 capital spending ₹190-195 crore, including ₹8-10 crore for Andhra land and the Punjagutta laboratory. - Operating margin above 40% despite potential expansion drag. - FY27 revenue growth high double-digit. - Sustainable growth of 15% over 3-5 years viewed achievable. Management’s own plans and goals, from our notes of the call. A plan is not a result. Source: [the call transcript](https://files.tijorifinance.com/insight/india/44294/Conference Call/CC-Aug26.pdf). (From the call for April to June 2026, 7 August 2026.) ## What is the future of Vijaya Diagnostic Centre? What is changing in the business? What is changing at Vijaya Diagnostic Centre, from the latest results and calls: mature-cluster operating leverage, phased network expansion and wellness and integrated b2c mix. - Mature-cluster operating leverage. Mature centers and early hub break-even can absorb fixed costs as volume rises. ⚠ estimate - Phased network expansion. Planned hubs, spokes and backend infrastructure widen the addressable network beyond Hyderabad. ⚠ estimate - Wellness and integrated B2C mix. Integrated wellness and imaging packages can add volume and realization without relying on broad price hikes. ⚠ estimate - Cash-funded buildout. Operating cash generation can fund the current expansion cycle, though free cash flow remains limited while capital spending is elevated. ⚠ estimate We check 16 kinds of change in every company, such as costs spread over more sales, higher-value products, new orders, new regions or falling debt, against its reported numbers and what management said on its calls. Only changes the numbers back are shown. (Our read after the latest results, written 22 August 2026.) ## What could change the Vijaya Diagnostic Centre story? What are the risks? The thesis breaks if the next two reported quarters show revenue growth below the management growth aspiration while operating margin falls below the stated floor, because that would show that new-network spending is not being absorbed by mature-cluster operating leverage. ### Each change stops working if - Mature-cluster operating leverage: Mature-center growth slows while new-hub losses rise for two consecutive quarters. - Phased network expansion: Commissioning slips or the reported network count remains unreconciled. - Wellness and integrated B2C mix: Package demand weakens or discounting rises materially. - Cash-funded buildout: Operating cash conversion falls while capital spending remains elevated. ### The main risks - Capital spending and guidance credibility: Capital-spending guidance rose while the rollout count requires reconciliation. ✓ fact - Price-action deferral: The intended selective price increase was deferred beyond the earlier timing indication. ✓ fact - Hyderabad concentration and seasonality: The largest geography remains material to group growth and past results show seasonal sensitivity. ✓ fact - Working-capital interpretation: Working-capital days look elevated in one durability signal, while cash decomposition points to stable component days and capital spending-led cash use. ⚠ estimate (Our read after the latest results, written 22 August 2026.) ## What to watch in Vijaya Diagnostic Centre's next results? When Vijaya Diagnostic Centre reports July to September 2026, these are the 4 checks that show whether the story is still on course. First: Next hub and spoke commissioning - check whether phased additions stay within the expansion schedule and preserve operating leverage. - What to check (from the call) - Next hub and spoke commissioning - check whether phased additions stay within the expansion schedule and preserve operating leverage. - Punjagutta and Bengaluru laboratory accreditation - check whether backend capacity unlocks the planned network and home-collection rollout. - Andhra land purchase - check whether the owned-site exception advances the planned tier-2 hub without changing the leasing model. - Pune PH backend buildout - check whether capacity constraints ease and network growth broadens beyond the existing base. ## Which stock lists is Vijaya Diagnostic Centre on? Vijaya Diagnostic Centre is on 2 of our India lists: Momentum stocks and Small & mid cap stocks. - [Momentum stocks Market cap cr: 15010.504253994604](https://www.sectoralpha.in/momentum-stocks-india) - [Small & mid cap stocks Size rank in India: 429](https://www.sectoralpha.in/small-cap-stocks-india) ## Is Vijaya Diagnostic Centre profitable? Vijaya Diagnostic Centre Ltd earned ₹53.0 Cr of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, +35.9% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 12th quarter in a row of profit growth. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹173 Cr. Over 8 years profit has grown 22.1% a year on average. That is 22.9% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹39.0 Cr. For the full year, FY26 profit was ₹173 Cr (+20.1% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +22.9% on a year earlier and the margin moved +4.0 percentage points. Most of the change came from keeping more of each sale. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +24.6% and revenue +20.3%. Profit is growing faster than sales: fixed costs are spread over more sales, so each extra rupee of revenue adds more to profit. ## How much revenue does Vijaya Diagnostic Centre make, and is it growing? Vijaya Diagnostic Centre Ltd reported ₹231 Cr of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +22.9% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 12th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 8 years it has grown 15.8% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹814 Cr. Why this happened. Cash conversion exceeds profit on both reported windows. The cash triangle shows that capex, rather than operating leakage, is the main use of operating cash. The last four reported quarters add to ₹857 Cr. FY26 revenue was ₹814 Cr, +19.5% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +20.3% on average, against 15.8% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing faster than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +20.2%, against +21.2% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising); profit over the last 12 months grew +23.8%, against +21.8% a year (stabilising). ## How much of every ₹100 of sales does Vijaya Diagnostic Centre keep? Vijaya Diagnostic Centre Ltd's operating margin was 43.0% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 4.0 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Across 9 years it has been between 32.0% and 44.0%. The latest quarter is within that range. Why this happened. The operating-leverage catapult applies because management attributes margin protection to fixed-cost absorption and phased launches. The read fails if new centers add costs faster than mature clusters add volume. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +3.5 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +0.3 points. So the gain came mostly from costs below the gross margin, such as staff and overheads, measured against sales. ## Is Vijaya Diagnostic Centre's profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 155% of Vijaya Diagnostic Centre Ltd's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY26 it brought in ₹271 Cr of operating cash against ₹173 Cr of profit. After ₹261 Cr of spending on assets, ₹10.0 Cr was left over as free cash. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. Why 155% of profit came in as cash: the cash cycle stayed about the same between FY21 and FY26, so the cash follows profit, not the cycle. What to look at next: the bigger use of cash is spending on new assets, at 3.5× depreciation over three years. The next section checks what that spending is building. ## Where does Vijaya Diagnostic Centre's cash go? Vijaya Diagnostic Centre Ltd's cash cycle, the days between paying suppliers and getting paid by customers, was −117 days in FY26, up from −118 days in FY21. It spent ₹772 Cr on assets over the last 3 years. Customers take 9 days to pay, and stock sits for 19 days on average. At FY26 sales of ₹814 Cr, each day of that cycle ties up about ₹2.2 Cr, so roughly −₹261 Cr is tied up in the business at any time. FY26: customers took 9 days to pay and stock sat for 19 days, about 0.6 months of sales sitting as stock, for a full cycle of −117 days, longer than FY21's −118. The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0. Stock sits for 19 days. Customers pay about 9 days after that. Suppliers are paid at 145 days. Together that makes the −117-day cycle. Spending on assets: ₹772 Cr over the last 3 years, against ₹220 Cr of depreciation (the yearly wear and tear on existing assets). So it is building well beyond replacing what wears out. Work still in progress is ₹35.0 Cr (FY26): assets paid for that are not earning yet. In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns. ## What is Vijaya Diagnostic Centre's P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Vijaya Diagnostic Centre Ltd's P/E is 79.5×, near the high end of its own history: higher than 88% of past readings. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 66.2×, over 5.1 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved +20.0% while the price moved +46.4%. The price did better than earnings, which pushed the multiple up within its own range. Where the price move came from: over 5 years the price moved +20.9% a year; about +17.1% a year came from earnings growth and about +3.8 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying more). The split is approximate (price return minus earnings growth). It shows how much of the move came from the market paying a different multiple. In short: the multiple is high against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## What growth does the Vijaya Diagnostic Centre share price assume? Worked out from its price on 24 August 2026, Vijaya Diagnostic Centre Ltd's share price assumed profit growth of about 34.6% a year. Over the past 8 years its profit actually grew 22.1% a year. Today its P/E is 79.5×, higher than 88% of its own last 5.1 years. This is a one-day reading, taken on 24 August 2026. Every other number on this page, the multiple included, uses the latest price as of 3 November 2026. A higher price assumes more growth and a lower price less, so it changes whenever the price changes, and this page does not update it between measurements. ## Is the Vijaya Diagnostic Centre business getting better or worse? Vijaya Diagnostic Centre Ltd's business is growing steadily. Revenue, profit and EPS growth have stayed positive throughout, and ROCE is steady at 23.1%. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: steady growth with healthy returns is how a business compounds over time. ## What is the Vijaya Diagnostic Centre story, and has it been checked? Vijaya Diagnostic Centre Ltd's story is not scored yet against the checks our research set on 22 August 2026. Our read, 22 August 2026. From the numbers.

Revenue and profit grew in the latest quarter while operating margin remained above the stated floor. New hubs are reaching break-even early, supporting the spoke-and-hub rollout beyond Hyderabad. What the surface reading misses. The surface reading is: Jun 2026 was the highest revenue and net-profit quarter in the supplied eight-quarter series. The research reads it further: The higher quarter is accompanied by 43% operating margin, so the revenue advance did not require a collapse in reported operating profitability. What the surface reading misses. The surface reading is: Revenue growth was 22.9% and net-profit growth was 35.9% year on year in Jun 2026. The research reads it further: Profit grew faster than revenue, consistent with reported operating leverage rather than a revenue-only expansion. Lever 1 · Operating leverage: building. Mature centers and early hub break-even can absorb fixed costs as volume rises. What proves it keeps working: Mature-cluster operating leverage. It stops working if Mature-center growth slows while new-hub losses rise for two consecutive quarters. Lever 3 · Management change: building. Planned hubs, spokes and backend infrastructure widen the addressable network beyond Hyderabad. What proves it keeps working: Phased network expansion. It stops working if Commissioning slips or the reported network count remains unreconciled. Lever 5 · Regulatory approval: building. Integrated wellness and imaging packages can add volume and realization without relying on broad price hikes. What proves it keeps working: Wellness and integrated B2C mix. It stops working if Package demand weakens or discounting rises materially. Lever 7 · Consolidation: building. Operating cash generation can fund the current expansion cycle, though free cash flow remains limited while capex is elevated. What proves it keeps working: Cash-funded buildout. It stops working if Operating cash conversion falls while capex remains elevated.

The story check is re-scored every results season; the record below never changes. ## Did Vijaya Diagnostic Centre management deliver what it promised? What Vijaya Diagnostic Centre Ltd's management promised, against what actually happened: 4 promises on the record. Read straight from the company’s own earnings calls. A promise that slipped stays on this page after it is met. Planned Price Increase Deferred · 7 August 2026. In May 2026, management said it would take roughly a 1% to 1.5% price hike in Q1 or Q2. In Aug 2026, management said no hike had been taken since the prior increase and that pricing would only be reassessed after Q2 and Q3, moving beyond the previously stated timing without explaining the delay; this changes realization assumptions. Reported Center Count Does Not Reconcile With Additions · 7 August 2026. May 2026 reported 162 centers. By Aug 2026, management reported 166 centers but also said two hubs and six spokes had been commissioned to date, which would imply 170 centers from the prior reported base before any closures or reclassifications. The latest call did not explain the discrepancy, which matters for tracking network rollout and capex productivity. FY27 Capital Expenditure Guidance Materially Revised Upward · 8 May 2026. Management consistently guided FY27 capital expenditure at INR 100-120 crores in both the Nov 2025 and Feb 2026 calls, covering the same planned expansion of 4-5 hubs and 10-12 spokes. In the May 2026 call, this was revised upward to INR 140-150 crores - a 17-50% increase - with management citing a new automated lab at Punjagutta, Hyderabad and higher center-level costs; the Punjagutta lab project had not been mentioned in either prior call, and the per-center capex for the same hub and spoke count also appears to have increased from the prior guided range. This unexplained revision would materially impact free cash flow projections and capital allocation models. Expansion Strategy De-acceleration · 13 February 2026. In the November 2025 call, management signaled an aggressive expansion posture, stating that early break-evens in new geographies encouraged them to open "a lot more hubs" than previously planned. However, in the February 2026 call, they pivoted to a conservative stance for FY27, guiding for only 4-5 hubs (down from the 10 planned in FY26) and citing "operational bandwidth" constraints rather than capital availability as the reason to slow down hub additions. Earlier call (Nov 2025): “Bangalore... has broken even much earlier. So, that is kind of encouraging for us to open a lot more hubs than probably what we have mentioned.” Later call (Feb 2026): “For FY27, we will be seeing about 4-5 hubs... It is more in terms of ground-level operational challenges... The decision-making is not based on margin but on operational bandwidth and stabilization.” Every quote above is taken word for word from the company’s own earnings calls. ## What is Vijaya Diagnostic Centre management's track record? Recurring guidance revisions on an otherwise operationally strong base (operating margin 43.8%) ### Regulatory and governance record No SEBI/CBI/ED action or fraud allegation surfaced; sweep returned only unrelated HDFC insider-trading case. 0% Promoter shares pledged (Checked 21 July 2026.) ## How much does Vijaya Diagnostic Centre earn on its capital? Vijaya Diagnostic Centre Ltd earned a ROCE of 21% in FY26. That is up from a low of 18% in FY23. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 6.2 percentage points above its cost of capital, so growth here adds value, not just size. It comes from a 21.3% net margin and 0.54× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY26): a 21.3% net margin × 0.54× asset turnover × 1.57× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 18.1% on equity. The margin does most of the work; borrowing plays a small part, so this return is earned, not borrowed. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 18.2% − 12.0% = +6.2 percentage points. The 12.0% is a standard assumption for the cost of capital in India, not an estimate for this company. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. A gap this wide means each rupee put back into the business creates more than a rupee of value. ## Does Vijaya Diagnostic Centre have too much debt? Vijaya Diagnostic Centre Ltd has total debt of ₹423 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹957 Cr as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 0.44× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.39 in FY22 to 0.44 in FY26. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page. ## What is the Vijaya Diagnostic Centre shareholding pattern? Domestic institutions raised their stake in Vijaya Diagnostic Centre Ltd by 9.0 percentage points over 8 quarters, the biggest change among its owners. Domestic institutions now own 32.5% of the company. Foreign institutions moved −7.5 points over the same period, to 10.7%. This uses the four owner groups that companies report every quarter; nothing is guessed between filings. Why this happened. Management has outlined further hub and spoke additions, with Pune backend infrastructure and laboratory accreditation as dependencies. Early break-even evidence supports the rollout, but center-count reconciliation remains a monitoring issue. Over the last two years: Domestic institutions: +9.0 points over 8 quarters, to 32.5%; Foreign institutions: −7.5 points over 8 quarters, to 10.7%; Promoters: −1.4 points over 8 quarters, to 52.5%. Why the owners changed: foreign institutions moved −7.5 points and domestic institutions +9.0 points over 8 quarters, while promoters moved −1.4 points. One group of institutions took over shares from the other; it is not a change of mind by the people running the company. ## How far is Vijaya Diagnostic Centre from balance-sheet trouble? For Vijaya Diagnostic Centre Ltd, the Z-score is not available, so we say so rather than guess one. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. The debt, cash-flow and return sections show the balance-sheet figures we do have, each with its own date. Why this happened. Management describes pathology and radiology as contributors and identifies wellness demand across retail and corporate customers. This is a mix lever, not a confirmed near-term price lever. ## How does Vijaya Diagnostic Centre rank in its industry? 59.5 out of 100, rank 4 of 9 in Diagnostics, with 96% of the evidence available. Vijaya Diagnostic Centre Ltd scores 59.5 out of 100 against the 9 companies it is compared with in Diagnostics, ranking 4. Earnings, capital efficiency and relative strength all agree. The open questions are about management, upcoming events and risks. The four parts add up to the total exactly: 24.1 + 16.4 + 0.3 + 18.7 = 59.5. This is the same number shown on the industry page; it is worked out once for the whole group and read here.

Missing figures are not scored as bad. They lower the confidence and pull the final score toward the middle. Relative strength counts only when the company has a reading for this week; with no reading, that factor is left out and its 20 points are shared across the other three in proportion. 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 path the industry 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 growing or shrinking. It describes where the share price stands, not the direction of earnings, and it is not a recommendation; it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read. The figures in this ranking come from the industry comparison: results through the Sep 2026 quarter, and the P/E at that quarter's end. The sections above use the latest weekly price, so a P/E or return there can differ a little from the one here. The stage words in this ranking (such as losing its lead or breaking out) describe the lead over the index, not the price phase in the price section.

The main question: the share price moved +46.4% in a year while yearly earnings per share moved +20.0%. The difference came from the market paying a higher multiple. On price, this page treats a rise as over when the share price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row (as of 3 November 2026). ### Is Vijaya Diagnostic Centre a stock worth studying right now? What the numbers show: Vijaya Diagnostic Centre Ltd's share price has risen faster than its earnings: +46.4% in a year, against +20.0% for earnings per share. The main open question: whether earnings grow into a price that has already moved. Every number on this page is worked out by code from the published figures, with no forecasts and no price opinions (as of 3 November 2026). ### Is there a Vijaya Diagnostic Centre share price forecast for 2026? What management itself guided: Next-12-month expansion: nine hubs, including two in Pune, 10-12 spokes and Pune backend infrastructure. What is changing at Vijaya Diagnostic Centre, from the latest results and calls: mature-cluster operating leverage, phased network expansion and wellness and integrated b2c mix. What would change the story: The thesis breaks if the next two reported quarters show revenue growth below the management growth aspiration while operating margin falls below the stated floor, because that would show that new-network spending is not being absorbed by mature-cluster operating leverage. ### Where does this page get Vijaya Diagnostic Centre's management information? From Vijaya Diagnostic Centre's results calls, its filings and public records on governance, each dated on the page. Management’s plans are shown as plans, never as results. ## Lists - Momentum stocks: https://www.sectoralpha.in/momentum-stocks-india - Small & mid cap stocks: https://www.sectoralpha.in/small-cap-stocks-india This is research, not advice.
