Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A middling, slow-growing business, trading cheap versus its own history.
Adani Total Gas is scored on the commodity / cyclical framework. It keeps a healthy 11.1% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 1.75× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about -0.1% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 10%/yr and profit at 6%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 18%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a healthy 12.4%. In the latest quarter profit grew 22% versus the prior quarter.
At 97× earnings, the stock sits at the 12th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price already implies ~31%/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. 10% CAGR over 3 years — steady double-digit compounder. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
Revenue is outpacing profit (10% vs 6%) — costs are rising faster than the top line.
Operating margin has compressed from 17% to 15% — costs or competition are eating into profitability.
ROE at 13% — a respectable return on shareholder capital. Capital efficiency declining — ROE down 5pp.
6% 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 1.8× 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 rose 11% sequentially — momentum is building. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 21% above earlier ones.
Profit jumped 22% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.6y median.
