Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A decent, fast-growing business, trading cheap versus its own history.
Arvind Fashions is scored on the consumer / fmcg framework. It keeps a thin 3.5% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 2.88× reported profit. It throws off free cash worth 9.9% of its market value — a strong free-cash yield.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 9%/yr and profit at 28%/yr. Book value has been broadly flat (2.0%/yr). Return on equity is a healthy 13.3%. In the latest quarter profit fell 58% versus the prior quarter.
At 37× earnings, the stock sits at the 1st percentile of its own 2.6-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~11%/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. 9% CAGR — growing but slowly. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
Profit is growing faster than revenue (28% vs 9%) — margin expansion is at work. The latest year saw a +457% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margins have been stable around 5% — no major structural shift.
ROE at 16% — a respectable return on shareholder capital. High ROE despite single-digit margins — an asset-turn play with high capital velocity. Capital efficiency improving — ROE up 6pp across the window.
EPS outpaced profit growth — possible buybacks are concentrating earnings into fewer shares. 82% 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 2.9× PAT — earnings are well-backed by cash; strong accrual quality. 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 6% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown.
Profit fell 58% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 2.6y median.
Promoters at 35.1% — dispersed ownership; institutional flows drive the stock. MF holding up 3.0pp — domestic institutional discovery underway.
