Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A decent, fast-growing business, trading cheap versus its own history — but flagged on governance.
Anant Raj is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a fat 21.5% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash conversion lags the reported profit (CFO/PAT -0.79×) — worth a closer look. Free cash flow is worth about -4.2% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 37%/yr and profit at 57%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 27%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a modest 9.9%. In the latest quarter profit grew 6% versus the prior quarter.
At 28× earnings, the stock sits at the 1st percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~13%/yr earnings growth for a decade. The forensic screen raises a red flag: Only ₹-0.13 of cash per ₹1 profit over 4 years — earnings not converting to cash.

Revenue has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. 37% 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. Profit is growing faster than revenue (57% vs 37%) — margin expansion is at work. The latest year saw a +31% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from 20% to 26% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 10% — modest; the capital isn't working hard.
EPS has grown every year — each share earns more than the last, consistently. Profit grew faster than EPS (57% vs 50%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. 50% EPS CAGR — this is the rate at which each share's claim on earnings is compounding.
2 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. Low quarterly variance (4% 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 57.4% — majority control intact.
