75+ is strong, 60-74 is usable, 45-59 is mixed, and below 45 needs caution. These are research lenses, not buy/sell instructions.

Mixed fundamentals, management trust is supportive, price trend argues for patience, and recent execution is consistent.

Management commentary snapshot

FY26 Total Income grew 28% YoY to Rs 1,142.9 Cr, driven by 41.7% YoY distillery revenue growth. PAT increased 33.4% YoY to Rs 139.6 Cr, with company EBITDA margin at 23.4% (flat YoY).

The company is executing its premiumization strategy well, evidenced by strong IMFL volume and revenue growth. Completed capacity expansions are expected to drive future distillery revenue. The sugar business remains a drag, but a demerger scheme has been filed. Execution on new capacity utilization and IMFL market penetration is key.

Daily technical trend read

Bearish setup

Trend is weak — long-term uptrend intact. RSI 33.

  • Price above SMA200 (long-term uptrend) but mid-term MAs not aligned.
  • SMA20 falling (~9.7% over last month) — short-term momentum negative.
  • RSI(14) at 33 — falling, no extreme reading.
  • MACD below signal but histogram contracting — bearish momentum easing.
  • 24% off 52W high · 20% above 52W low.

Mechanical read from the price + indicator series above. Not a recommendation — technical setups can reverse without warning, especially around earnings and macro events.

Trust Score
75Healthy Trust · low confidenceTrust Lite

Trust asks: does management behaviour match later outcomes? Higher is better, but confidence and evidence depth matter as much as the number.

Healthy Trust: Claim history is still being built. It ranks around the 78th percentile of the scored universe and 34th percentile within FMCG. Main check: financial discipline is weak at 58/100.

High Trust Lite: Promoter holding is 68.6%. Key concern: ROCE trend is -5.7%.

How to read this Trust Score

Healthy Trust · low confidence
What it measures
Reliability of management and financial delivery, using financial behaviour only.
Confidence
Treat this as an early read until more concalls and outcomes are matched.
Investor use
Can support position sizing if valuation and trend also agree.

Read Trust alongside U-Score, result consistency, and technical trend. A cheap stock with weak Trust needs a larger margin of safety; a high Trust score does not make an expensive stock attractive by itself.

Forensic breakdown

Read low sub-scores as due-diligence warnings, not automatic sell signals.

Trust positives

  • Promoter holding is 68.6%.
  • Promoter pledge is zero.
  • 7 years of positive FCF.
  • 4/4 latest quarters had positive YoY revenue growth.

Trust risks

  • ROCE trend is -5.7%.

Trust Lite uses financial behaviour only. Prefer claim-tested Trust when enough concall claims have later outcomes.
