Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A middling, steadily growing business, fairly priced.
BHARAT BIJLEE LTD is scored on the commodity / cyclical framework. It keeps a slim 5.2% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash conversion lags the reported profit (CFO/PAT -0.77×) — worth a closer look. Free cash flow is worth about -6.2% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 17%/yr and profit at 13%/yr. Book value has grown 14%/yr. Return on equity is a weak 5.6%. In the latest quarter profit fell 50% versus the prior quarter.
At 23× earnings, the stock sits at the 44th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the middle of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~10%/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. 17% CAGR over 3 years — steady double-digit compounder. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
Profit is on a 2-year growth streak. Revenue is outpacing profit (17% vs 13%) — costs are rising faster than the top line.
Operating margins have been stable around 7% — no major structural shift.
ROE at 6% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Low variance across years — a predictable business that earns steadily on its equity base.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. Profit grew faster than EPS (13% vs -10%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. -10% EPS CAGR — this is the rate at which each share's claim on earnings is compounding.
1 of 4 years had negative operating cash flow — profitability on paper may not translate to cash. 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 fell 28% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Wide quarterly swings (38% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 26% above earlier ones.
Profit fell 50% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly margins are compressing (6% → 4%) — 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 33.6% — dispersed ownership; institutional flows drive the stock. MF stake down 3.1pp — domestic funds are booking profits or rebalancing out.
