Oswal Overseas Ltd is a 3,500 TCD sugar mill in Bareilly that somehow managed to generate a 2,280% one-year return while losing ₹8.42 Cr in the last twelve months. Q3 FY26 revenue? ₹1.18 Cr. Yes, that’s not a typo — ₹1.18 Cr for a listed sugar manufacturer with a ₹166 Cr market cap.
Latest quarterly EPS stands at ₹-1.49. Annualised (Q3 method: average of Q1, Q2, Q3 × 4), we are staring at roughly ₹-6 per share territory — which conveniently matches the TTM EPS of ₹-6.53.
The company is in the sugar business. But the stock chart? That belongs to crypto.
Is this a turnaround? A restructuring story? Or a financial sugar crash waiting for insulin?
Let’s put on the auditor glasses. And maybe keep some insulin nearby.
2. Introduction – Welcome to the Sweetest Mess in UP
Oswal Overseas was incorporated in 1984. Back when sugar was simple — crush cane, make sugar, sell sugar. Collect money. Repeat.
Fast forward to 2025.
The company is facing:
- CIRP petitions filed against it
- Auction of land
- Auction of sugar stock
- SBI calling loans
- CEO resigned
- CFO resigned
- Account turning NPA
If this was a Bollywood movie, even the scriptwriter would say “Thoda realistic rakho.”
And yet — the stock went up 2,280% in one year.
Who’s buying this? And why?
Is this hope? Or pure adrenaline?
Let’s decode what’s happening.
3. Business Model – WTF Do They Even Do?
At its core, Oswal Overseas has two businesses:
1) Sugar Manufacturing
- Installed capacity: ~3,500 TCD
- FY22 production: ~4,48,717 quintals
- Revenue mix: 98% sugar
- By-products: molasses, bagasse
2) Power Generation
- 7 MW PPA with UPPCL
- Supplies power to UP Government
- Revenue contribution: ~2%
So essentially, this is a sugar mill with a small co-generation plant.
The company had plans to:
- Expand sugar capacity
- Set up ethanol plant
- Enter value-added sugar products (refined sugar, cubes, small packs)
Now pause.
When your working capital days are negative 344 days and your account is turning NPA… are you expanding?
Or are you surviving?
This is like planning a Goa trip while your landlord is outside with eviction papers.
