Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A decent, stagnant business, priced for perfection.
Arvind is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a slim 4.6% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 2.03× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about 1.9% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 4%/yr and profit at 1%/yr. Book value has grown 7%/yr. Return on equity is a modest 10.8%. In the latest quarter profit fell 65% versus the prior quarter.
At 31× earnings, the stock sits at the 88th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the expensive end of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~14%/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.

4% CAGR — growing but slowly.
Operating margins have been stable around 6% — no major structural shift.
ROE at 10% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Low variance across years — a predictable business that earns steadily on its equity base.
0% 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 2.0× 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. Low quarterly variance (7% spread) — a predictable, non-seasonal revenue stream.
Profit fell 65% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly margins are compressing (4% → 2%) — 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 3.6y median.
Promoters at 38.1% — dispersed ownership; institutional flows drive the stock. Promoters reduced 1.4pp over 4 quarters — watch whether this is planned divestment or pledge invocations.
