An exceptional, steadily growing business, fully valued.
Bajaj Consumer Care is scored on the consumer / fmcg framework. It keeps a healthy 15.9% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash broadly tracks reported profit (CFO/PAT 1.03×). Free cash flow is worth about 3.5% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 6%/yr and profit at 11%/yr. Net worth has actually shrunk (-2%/yr) — value is not being built. Return on equity is an elite 27.9%. In the latest quarter profit fell 1% versus the prior quarter.
At 28× earnings, the stock sits at the 71st percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the middle of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~9%/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.

6% CAGR — growing but slowly. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
Profit is growing faster than revenue (11% vs 6%) — margin expansion is at work. The latest year saw a +52% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from 17% to 19% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 25% — the business earns well above its cost of equity. Capital efficiency improving — ROE up 8pp across the window.
EPS outpaced profit growth — possible buybacks are concentrating earnings into fewer shares. 14% 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. 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 broadly flat QoQ — stable but not accelerating.
Quarterly net margins are expanding (15% → 21%) — 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 at 43.0% — dispersed ownership; institutional flows drive the stock. FII stake up 6.7pp over 4 quarters — growing foreign interest.
