Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A high-quality, fast-growing business, priced for perfection.
Selan Exploration Tech is scored on the commodity / cyclical framework. It keeps a fat 31.1% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 1.29× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about 0.1% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 31%/yr and profit at 43%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 22%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is an elite 23.2%. In the latest quarter profit grew 5% versus the prior quarter.
At 35× earnings, the stock sits at the 80th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the expensive end of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~7%/yr earnings growth for a decade. 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. 30% 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 (43% vs 30%) — margin expansion is at work.
Operating margin has expanded from 31% to 42% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned. The gap between operating and net margin is widening — interest or tax costs are rising.
ROE at 14% — a respectable return on shareholder capital. Capital efficiency improving — ROE up 5pp across the window.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. Profit grew faster than EPS (43% vs 8%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. 8% 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. Cash conversion at 1.3× 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 broadly flat QoQ — stable but not accelerating. Wide quarterly swings (45% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 47% above earlier ones.
Quarterly net margins are expanding (39% → 45%) — 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 69.7% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game.
