Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A decent, fast-growing business, trading cheap versus its own history.
Affle (India) is scored on the it / services framework. It keeps a healthy 16.3% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 1.10× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about 0.6% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 23%/yr and profit at 23%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 36%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a modest 11.8%. In the latest quarter profit grew 1% versus the prior quarter.
At 49× earnings, the stock sits at the 14th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price already implies ~20%/yr earnings growth sustained for a decade — a demanding bar. 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. 23% CAGR over 3 years — high-growth territory. Growth is decelerating — latest year grew slower than the year before.
Net profit has risen every year — the hallmark of a compounder.
Operating margins have been stable around 20% — no major structural shift.
ROE at 12% — a respectable return on shareholder capital.
EPS has grown every year — each share earns more than the last, consistently. Profit grew faster than EPS (23% vs 21%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. 21% 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. Heavy investing spend every year, but operations generate enough to cover it — the business self-funds its growth. Financing outflows in consecutive years — balance-sheet discipline through debt repayment or dividends.
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. Low quarterly variance (9% spread) — a predictable, non-seasonal revenue stream.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.6y median.
Promoter holding at 55.8% — majority control intact.
