Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A weak, stagnant business, fully valued — but flagged on governance.
Akash Infra-Projects is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a thin 0.8% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash conversion lags the reported profit (CFO/PAT -2.32×) — worth a closer look. Free cash flow is worth about -0.8% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 10%/yr and profit at -22%/yr. Book value has been broadly flat (0.7%/yr). Return on equity is a weak 1.0%. In the latest quarter profit fell 70% versus the prior quarter.
At 64× earnings, the stock sits at the 60th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the middle of where it has historically traded. Today's price already implies ~25%/yr earnings growth sustained for a decade — a demanding bar. The forensic screen raises 2 red flags: Only ₹-15.23 of cash per ₹1 profit over 4 years — earnings not converting to cash; 79% of pre-tax profit is other income, not operations.

10% CAGR — growing but slowly. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
Revenue is outpacing profit (10% vs -22%) — costs are rising faster than the top line.
Operating margin has compressed from 3% to 1% — costs or competition are eating into profitability.
ROE at 1% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Low variance across years — a predictable business that earns steadily on its equity base.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. -23% EPS CAGR — this is the rate at which each share's claim on earnings is compounding.
3 of 4 years had negative operating cash flow — profitability on paper may not translate to cash.
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. Wide quarterly swings (71% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 228% above earlier ones.
1 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit fell 70% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly net margins are expanding (-9% → 0%) — profitability per rupee of revenue is improving.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.6y median.
Promoters hold 74.6% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game.
