Valuation Metrics and Financial Ratios
At the current price of Rs.650 (as of 29 September 2026, 09:33 AM), Shri Venkatesh Refineries Ltd’s valuation multiples reflect elevated market expectations. The price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio stands at 95x on a trailing twelve months (TTM) basis, while the price-to-book value (P/BV) ratio is 10.94x. Enterprise value multiples include EV/EBITDA at 58.89x and EV/EBIT at 61.12x, with EV/Sales at 2.97x and EV/Capital Employed at 3.99x. The PEG ratio is 3.86x, indicating a premium valuation relative to earnings growth.
Dividend metrics show a modest yield of 0.15%, with the latest dividend declared at Rs.0.993 per share and an ex-dividend date of 24 September 2026. The dividend payout ratio data is not available, but the low yield suggests a focus on capital appreciation over income distribution.
Quality Assessment and Financial Health
The company’s overall quality grade is assessed as average, reflecting a mixed financial profile. While Shri Venkatesh Refineries Ltd demonstrates good return on equity (ROE) at 18.32%, its return on capital employed (ROCE) is weaker at 13.33%. The capital structure shows higher leverage, with an average net debt-to-equity ratio of 2.32 and debt-to-EBITDA of 5.25, indicating significant indebtedness. Sales and EBIT growth over five years have been negative, at -4.48% and -4.80% respectively, suggesting challenges in sustaining top-line and operating profit expansion over the longer term.
Management risk is rated average, with no promoter share pledging reported, which is a positive governance indicator. Institutional holdings remain low at 0.05%, reflecting limited institutional participation in the stock.
Delivery Volumes and Market Activity
Recent delivery volumes have shown notable changes, with a 1-month delivery volume increase of 32.04% and a 1-day delivery volume surge of 64.54% compared to the 5-day average. However, the absolute volumes remain modest, with 4.85 thousand shares delivered on 28 September 2026, below the 5-day and trailing 1-month averages of approximately 13.6 thousand shares. This suggests that while price momentum is strong, trading volumes have not proportionally escalated, a typical characteristic of micro-cap stocks.
Summary of Market Capitalisation and Ratings
Shri Venkatesh Refineries Ltd is classified as a micro-cap company within the edible oil sector. The MarketsMOJO rating for the stock is currently a 'Hold' with a Mojo Score of 58.0, upgraded from a previous 'Sell' rating on 6 July 2026.

Conclusion
The attainment of an all-time high price of Rs.660 by Shri Venkatesh Refineries Ltd marks a significant achievement for the company and its shareholders. The stock’s strong multi-period performance, bullish technical indicators, and recent rating upgrade underscore a period of robust market recognition. While valuation multiples are elevated and quality metrics suggest areas for improvement, the stock’s sustained upward trend and outperformance relative to the Sensex and sector benchmarks highlight its notable journey within the edible oil industry.
