Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A decent, fast-growing business, fully valued.
Adani Port is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a fat 31.3% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 1.59× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about 1.6% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 22%/yr and profit at 33%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 28%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a healthy 13.3%. In the latest quarter profit grew 1% versus the prior quarter.
At 33× earnings, the stock sits at the 69th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the middle of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~16%/yr earnings growth for a decade. The books come through clean — a forensic grade of A, and Altman puts distress risk in the safe zone.

Revenue has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. 22% CAGR over 3 years — high-growth territory. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
Net profit has risen every year — the hallmark of a compounder. Profit is growing faster than revenue (33% vs 22%) — margin expansion is at work.
Operating margin has expanded from 24% to 36% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned. The gap between operating and net margin is widening — interest or tax costs are rising.
ROE at 13% — a respectable return on shareholder capital.
EPS has grown every year — each share earns more than the last, consistently. 33% EPS CAGR — this is the rate at which each share's claim on earnings is compounding.
Operating cash flow has been positive every year — the business generates real cash, not just accounting profit. Cash conversion at 1.6× PAT — earnings are well-backed by cash; strong accrual quality. Heavy investing spend every year, but operations generate enough to cover it — the business self-funds its growth.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue broadly flat QoQ — stable but not accelerating. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 9% above earlier ones.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.6y median.
Promoters hold 66.0% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game. Promoters reduced 2.0pp over 4 quarters — watch whether this is planned divestment or pledge invocations. FIIs have accumulated for 3 straight quarters — sustained foreign institutional conviction.
