At a Glance
Deep Industries, the underdog of oilfield services, just threw a surprise party for investors. Q1 FY26 revenue ₹200 Cr (+62% YoY) and profit ₹62 Cr (+59% YoY) sent the stock flying 8.5% to ₹522. With an OPM of 41%, margins are fatter than the CEO’s bonus. But, with 373 debtor days, their cash collection is slower than your broadband in a storm.
Introduction
From compressing gas to drilling profits, Deep Industries has been quietly growing while its peers struggle. However, last year’s -₹79 Cr loss raised eyebrows. Now, the company is back in the green with a vengeance, acquiring new subsidiaries and tweaking its business objects. But is this rally sustainable or just hot air from compressors?
