Vindhya Telelinks 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.

Vindhya Telelinks Ltd trades at ₹2,814, in a confirmed uptrend and 16 weeks into that stage. That is +50.9% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 100% of a 52-week range of ₹987 to ₹2,814. On relative strength it has been ahead of the NIFTY 500 on a trailing-13-week view for 6 straight weeks.

Today the stock is in a confirmed uptrend — week 16 of stage 2, confirmed. At ₹2,814 it trades +50.9% versus its 200-day average and sits at 100% of its 52-week range (₹987–₹2,814).

Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10.5 years the stock moved +336% while the NIFTY 500 moved +267% — ahead of the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock has been ahead for 6 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.

Vindhya Telelinks Ltd trades at 14.1× P/E, at the pricey end of its own range (97th percentile). Its long-run median P/E is 8.1×, measured across 10.6 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 14.1× is at the pricey end of its own range (97th percentile), against a long-run median of 8.1× measured over 10.6 years of weekly readings. This is a comparison against the stock's own history — not a claim about what it is worth.

🚨 Why the multiple sits where it does: over the past year annual EPS moved +8.5% against a +89.0% price move — the price outran earnings, pushing the multiple UP its own range.

The price move, decomposed: over 5y, of the +18.4%/yr price move, ~−4.9%/yr came from earnings growth and ~+23.3 pp from the multiple (expanding); over 10y, of the +16.9%/yr price move, ~+9.3%/yr came from earnings growth and ~+7.6 pp from the multiple (expanding). 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.

A quarterly PEG curve, which only the second data source carries, is not drawn on this page: its two data sources do not share enough overlapping reported history to be compared. A figure nobody could check is not used to price growth — the gap is a decision, not missing data.

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, Vindhya Telelinks Ltd was paying for profit growth of about 4.2% a year. Profit itself has compounded 8.8% a year over the past 10 years. Today the market pays 14.1× P/E, the 97th percentile of its own 11-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 close to what this company has actually delivered.

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: 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).

Vindhya Telelinks Ltd reads as turning around on its fundamental arc. Turning around — profit growth swung from −27.5% at the trough to +0.4% off a 5-quarter-old trough, ROCE holding at 8.0%. The read is built from 8 quarters across 4 curves, on partial evidence.

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.

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

35.3/100 — rank 4 of 5 in Cables - Telecom · 87% evidence confidence

Vindhya Telelinks Ltd scores 35.3 out of 100 against the 5 companies it is compared with in Cables - Telecom, ranking 4. Balanced evidence: keep at normal research priority and require another comparable period before raising conviction.

The four contributions add to the total exactly: 10.6 + 6.1 + 9.3 + 9.3 = 35.3. 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.

Vindhya Telelinks Ltd reported ₹719 Cr of revenue in the Jun 26 quarter, −20.8% year on year. Over 10 years it has compounded at 13.5% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹3,593 Cr. The last four reported quarters add to ₹3,405 Cr.

FY26 revenue came in at ₹3,593 Cr (−11.4% on the year), capping 10 years at 13.5% compound. The latest quarter (Jun 26) printed ₹719 Cr, −20.8% year on year.

Pace check: the last four quarters averaged −17.3% growth against the decade's 13.5% — the current year is running slower than its own long-run rate.

Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew −17.5% over the last 4 quarters against −8.5%/yr over the last 8 — rolling over; TTM profit +0.4% vs −3.4%/yr — accelerating.

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.

Vindhya Telelinks Ltd's operating margin is 12.0% in the Jun 26 quarter, +5.0 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 6.0% to 17.0%. The current quarter sits inside that band.

The latest quarter's operating margin is 12.0%, +5.0 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 13 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 6.0%–17.0%.

Why the margin moved: operating margin went +5.1 pp year on year while gross margin went +6.5 pp — the gain 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.

Vindhya Telelinks Ltd earned ₹76.0 Cr of net profit in the Jun 26 quarter, +22.6% year on year. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹220 Cr. The 10-year compound rate is 8.8%. That is 10.6% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹62.0 Cr. 1 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making.

Jun 26 profit was ₹76.0 Cr, +22.6% year on year. On the full year, FY26 printed ₹220 Cr (+8.4%), and the 10-year compound rate is 8.8%.

Why profit moved: revenue contributed −20.8% and the margin +5.0 pp — the quarter was margin-led: most of the profit growth came from keeping more of each sale.

Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +14.6% vs revenue −17.3%. 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 −44% of Vindhya Telelinks Ltd's reported profit arrived as operating cash — a gap worth watching. In FY26 that was ₹−160 Cr of operating cash against ₹220 Cr of profit. After ₹46.0 Cr of capital spending, ₹−206 Cr was left as free cash.

FY26: operating cash of ₹−160 Cr against reported profit of ₹220 Cr, leaving free cash of ₹−206 Cr after ₹46.0 Cr of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is −44% 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 −44%: the cash cycle tightened 156 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: no single sink dominates — the next section checks both the working-capital cycle and the capital spending.

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).

Vindhya Telelinks Ltd's cash conversion cycle runs 283 days in FY26, down from 439 days in FY21. Capital spending ran ₹101 Cr over the last 3 years. At FY26 sales of ₹3,593 Cr each day of that cycle holds about ₹9.8 Cr, so roughly ₹2,786 Cr sits inside the business at any moment.

FY26: debtors at 212 days, inventory at 651 days — roughly 21.4 months of stock waiting to sell; that is where the cash sits while it waits — for a full cycle of 283 days, tighter than FY21's 439.

The full loop: cash goes out to suppliers and production on day 0; stock waits 651 days to sell; customers pay about 212 days after that; and suppliers themselves are paid at 580 days — netting out to the 283-day cycle.

In money terms: at FY26 sales of ₹3,593 Cr, each day of the cycle holds about ₹9.8 Cr — so the 283-day loop keeps roughly ₹2,786 Cr sitting inside the business at any moment.

On the investment side: capital spending of ₹101 Cr over the last 3 fiscal years against ₹68.0 Cr of depreciation — building somewhat ahead of wear-and-tear. Capital work-in-progress stands at ₹5.0 Cr (FY26) — capacity paid for but not yet earning.

The synthesis: neither the cycle nor the build-out is hoarding the cash — the machine is reasonably clean.

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.⚠ unverified

Vindhya Telelinks Ltd earns a ROCE of 8% in FY26. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by −9.0 percentage points, so growth here is not yet paying for the capital it uses. The wiring behind it is 6.1% net margin on 0.43× asset turns.

FY26 ROCE is 8%.

🚨 Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 6.1% net margin × 0.43× asset turns × 1.99× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 5.2% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is a meaningful part of the equation.

The capstone test — ROIC − WACC: 3.0% − 12.0% = a −9.0 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.⚠ unverified

Vindhya Telelinks Ltd carries total debt of ₹1,435 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹4,205 Cr as of Mar 26, a debt-to-equity of 0.34. On the annual view that ratio went from 0.18 in FY22 to 0.34 in FY26. Read the returns elsewhere on this page with that leverage in mind.

Mar 26: total debt of ₹1,435 Cr against shareholder equity of ₹4,205 Cr — a debt-to-equity of 0.34. On the annual view, debt-to-equity went from 0.18 (FY22) to 0.34 (FY26). Read the returns on this page with that leverage in mind.

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.

Domestic institutions cut 1.4 points of Vindhya Telelinks Ltd over 8 quarters, the biggest move on the register. That takes domestic institutions to 8.3% of the company. Foreign institutions moved −0.2 points over the same window, to 1.4%. The register is read on the four disclosed classes only; nothing is inferred between filings.

The register over the last two years — Domestic institutions: −1.4 points over 8 quarters to 8.3%; Foreign institutions: −0.2 points over 8 quarters to 1.4%; Promoters: +0.0 points over 8 quarters to 43.5%.

🚨 Why the register moved: domestic institutions drove it (−1.4 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.

Vindhya Telelinks 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.
