Worked out from Deepak Chemtex's own filed results and exchange data, in plain words. Where a finance term matters, we say what it means.
01What does it do?
Deepak Chemtex is a micro-sized company in dyes & pigments.

A very small company by stock-market value — prices can swing hard and trading can be thin.
02Is it growing?
Sales fell 15% last year, after growing 13% a year over 3 years.
Profit kept pace, at 11% a year.
03Does it make money?
Out of every ₹100 it sells, it keeps ₹13 as profit.
Here is where the money from Deepak Chemtex's sales went in FY26, the latest full year it has reported.
- ₹83Costs of running the businessstaff, rent, marketing, power and everything else
- ₹0.2Interest on its loansthe cost of borrowed money
- ₹3.8Wear and tearmachines, stores and buildings losing value over time
- ₹13Profit it keepswhat is left for the company's owners
On the money its owners have put in
It earns ₹14 a year on every ₹100 its owners have invested.
That figure is called return on equity (ROE). Between ₹12 and ₹20 is a respectable return. For comparison, a bank fixed deposit pays roughly ₹6–7.
Does the profit turn into cash?
For every ₹100 of profit it reported, ₹41 actually came in as cash.
Over the last 3 years: ₹27 crore of profit but only ₹11 crore of cash. A wide gap like this is worth understanding before trusting the profit figure.
04Is the price high or low?
You pay ₹11 for every ₹1 of profit it makes in a year.
This is the P/E ratio: share price divided by a year's profit per share. A P/E of 11 means buyers are paying for about 11 years of today's profit up front.
The share price over the past year
05Who owns it?
Its founders and parent group own 73 of every 100 shares — they control the company.
If the company were split into 100 equal shares, this is who would hold them. 947 people and institutions hold its shares.
As filed for the quarter ending 31 Mar 2026. Arrows show the change since the quarter before, in percentage points.
06What is going well, and what to watch
One thing going well, one thing worth watching.
Picked out of the numbers above by fixed rules — the same rules for every company — so nothing here is somebody's opinion.
Going well

Worth watching
- Sales fell 15% in the latest financial year.
07What happened lately?
