Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A high-quality, steadily growing business, trading cheap versus its own history.
Agro Phos India is scored on the commodity / cyclical framework. It keeps a slim 4.8% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash conversion lags the reported profit (CFO/PAT 0.59×) — worth a closer look. It throws off free cash worth 7.4% of its market value — a strong free-cash yield.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 4%/yr and profit at 12%/yr. Book value has grown 8%/yr. Return on equity is a modest 10.4%. In the latest quarter profit fell 132% versus the prior quarter.
At 6× earnings, the stock sits at the 4th percentile of its own 1.6-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price asks for only ~-6%/yr growth over a decade — undemanding expectations. The books come through clean — a forensic grade of A, and Altman puts distress risk in the safe zone.

4% CAGR — growing but slowly. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
1 of the 4 years shown had a loss — profitability is inconsistent. The latest year saw a +40% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from 5% to 7% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 10% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Capital efficiency improving — ROE up 23pp across the window.
EPS has grown every year — each share earns more than the last, consistently. EPS outpaced profit growth — possible buybacks are concentrating earnings into fewer shares. 40% 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. 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 fell 10% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Run-rate fading — recent quarters 15% below earlier ones.
1 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit fell 132% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly margins are compressing (11% → -1%) — 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 1.6y median.
Promoter holding at 54.3% — majority control intact.
