Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A weak, stagnant business, fairly priced — but flagged on governance.
Sah Polymers is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a thin 1.3% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 1.65× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about 1.1% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 11%/yr and profit at -23%/yr. Book value has grown 6%/yr. Return on equity is a weak -0.3%. In the latest quarter profit fell 5000% versus the prior quarter.
At 219× earnings, the stock sits at the 57th percentile of its own 2-year range — the middle of where it has historically traded. The forensic screen raises a red flag: Only ₹-0.80 of cash per ₹1 profit over 4 years — earnings not converting to cash.

Revenue has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. 11% CAGR over 3 years — steady double-digit compounder. Growth is decelerating — latest year grew slower than the year before.
Revenue is outpacing profit (11% vs -23%) — costs are rising faster than the top line. The latest year saw a +661% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has compressed from 5% to 2% — costs or competition are eating into profitability. Margins have declined for 2 consecutive years — watch for a structural cost problem.
ROE at 0% — modest; the capital isn't working hard.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. Profit grew faster than EPS (-23% vs -79%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. -79% EPS CAGR — this is the rate at which each share's claim on earnings is compounding.
1 of 4 years had negative operating cash flow — profitability on paper may not translate to cash. Cash conversion at 1.7× 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 rose 26% sequentially — momentum is building.
2 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit fell 5000% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly margins are compressing (2% → -11%) — more revenue isn't translating to proportionally more profit.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 2y median.
Promoter holding at 60.5% — majority control intact.
