HOLD
Risk high

Deepak Fertilisers trades at a PE of 26.1x with declining profitability (TTM profit growth at -20%) despite strong long-term stock CAGR of 26% over 10 years. With 100% analyst buy ratings but weakening fundamentals and low ROE of 11.6%, the risk-reward is balanced at current levels.

Bull Case 8
  • 100% analyst buy consensus with 2 out of 2 analysts recommending Buy, indicating strong institutional conviction
  • Exceptional long-term stock CAGR of 26% over 10 years and 30% over 5 years demonstrates consistent wealth creation
  • Compounded sales growth of 15% over 5 years and 10% over 10 years shows durable revenue expansion capability
  • Compounded profit growth of 25% over 10 years reflects strong long-term earnings compounding ability
  • 5-year ROE average of 15% indicates historically efficient capital allocation during upcycles
  • TTM sales growth of 12% suggests revenue momentum is recovering after a period of stagnation
  • Consistent dividend payout of 18.1% with 0.66% yield provides a baseline return floor for investors
  • Market cap of Rs 19,537 crore places it in the mid-cap sweet spot with room for institutional re-rating
Bear Case 8
  • TTM compounded profit decline of -20% signals significant earnings deterioration in the most recent period
  • 3-year compounded profit CAGR of -15% indicates a sustained multi-year earnings downtrend, not a one-off
  • 3-year compounded sales growth of just 1% shows near-complete revenue stagnation over the medium term
  • ROE has declined from 15% (5-year) to 11% (last year), reflecting deteriorating return on shareholder capital
  • Stock trades at 2.81x price-to-book which is elevated for a commodity company with sub-12% ROE
  • PE of 26.1x is expensive for a cyclical commodity business with shrinking profits
  • Company may be capitalizing interest costs, potentially overstating reported profits and asset values
  • Dividend yield of only 0.66% offers minimal downside protection relative to risk-free rates above 7%

AI News Digest

Anthropic anthropic claude-opus-4.6 14h ago
Headwinds 1
  • FY26 profit drops 22% May 29

    Consolidated net profit fell 22% to ₹739 crore in FY26 despite revenue rising to ₹11,506 crore. EBITDA margins contracted due to rising input costs.

Positives 1
  • ₹10 per share dividend May 29

    Board recommended ₹10 per share dividend for FY26, signaling confidence in cash flow despite profit decline.

Neutral 2
  • First Energy equity investment Jun 17

    Deepak Fertilisers invested ₹5 crore in First Energy for wind-solar hybrid power; 50 lakh equity shares credited on June 16, 2026.

  • AGM and auditor re-appointment May 29

    46th AGM scheduled for September 1, 2026. Statutory auditors M/s P G Bhagwat LLP re-appointed.

TL;DR: Deepak Fertilisers faces margin pressure from rising input costs, with FY26 profit declining 22% despite top-line growth to ₹11,506 crore. Revenue growth shows demand remains intact, but cost headwinds are eroding profitability. The small renewable energy investment signals long-term sustainability focus but is immaterial to near-term financials. The trend is deteriorating on margins, and investors should watch for input cost relief or pricing power recovery in FY27.
