Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A weak, stagnant business, priced for perfection.
Asahi India Glass is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a slim 6.9% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 1.45× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about -0.6% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 8%/yr and profit at -2%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 24%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a healthy 13.1%. In the latest quarter profit grew 12% versus the prior quarter.
At 75× earnings, the stock sits at the 100th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the expensive end of where it has historically traded. Today's price already implies ~21%/yr earnings growth sustained for a decade — a demanding bar. 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. 8% CAGR — growing but slowly.
Revenue is outpacing profit (8% vs -2%) — costs are rising faster than the top line.
Operating margin has compressed from 14% to 9% — costs or competition are eating into profitability. Interest or tax burden is shrinking — more of the operating profit is reaching the bottom line.
ROE at 9% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Capital efficiency declining — ROE down 9pp.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. -3% 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 1.5× PAT — earnings are well-backed by cash; strong accrual quality. Investing outflows exceed operating cash — the company relies on external funding to finance expansion.
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. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 15% above earlier ones.
Profit jumped 12% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly net margins are expanding (5% → 11%) — 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.
Promoter holding at 51.6% — majority control intact.
