Q4 earnings

Delta Corp reported subdued financial performance for the March 2025 quarter.

Revenue from operations fell 11.72 per cent YoY to Rs 161.25 crore during the quarter, while the company also reported an exceptional loss of Rs 5.51 crore.

On a sequential (quarter-on-quarter) basis, however, the performance showed marginal improvement.

Analysts divided on near-term outlook

Kunal Kamble, Senior Technical Research Analyst at Bonanza, said, "Delta Corp has witnessed a strong breakout above the Rs 80 resistance zone with sharp price action supported by strong volumes, indicating fresh bullish momentum. The stock is trading above its short-term EMAs, reflecting improving strength and buying interest. The breakout after a prolonged consolidation phase suggests potential trend continuation in the near term. Immediate support is placed near Rs 76–78, while sustained trading above Rs 80 can drive further upside towards Rs 88–90 levels. Traders may consider a 'buy-on-dips' approach as the overall structure remains positive."

AR Ramachandran, Sebi-registered research analyst at Tips2trades, cautioned that the stock appears slightly overheated after the sharp rally. "Delta Corp stock is bullish but also slightly overbought on daily charts with strong resistance at Rs 83.5. Investors should keep booking profits as a daily close below the support of Rs 76.3 could trigger a fall towards Rs 66 in the near term," he stated.

Jigar S Patel, Senior Manager – Technical Research at Anand Rathi, said support is seen at Rs 78, while resistance is placed at Rs 87. "A decisive move above Rs 87 could push the stock towards a target of Rs 90, with the expected short-term trading range between Rs 78 and Rs 90," Patel added.

Delta Corp is India's only publicly listed company operating in the regulated gaming and hospitality segment. The company runs offshore and land-based casinos in Goa and Sikkim and also has interests in luxury hospitality and online skill gaming businesses.
