A high-quality, fast-growing business, reasonably priced.
BCL INDUSTRIES LIMITED is scored on the consumer / fmcg framework. It keeps a slim 4.5% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 2.12× reported profit. It throws off free cash worth 8.2% of its market value — a strong free-cash yield.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 15%/yr and profit at 25%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 30%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a healthy 12.3%. In the latest quarter profit grew 36% versus the prior quarter.
At 9× earnings, the stock sits at the 26th percentile of its own 4.6-year range — the middle of where it has historically traded. Today's price asks for only ~-6%/yr growth over a decade — undemanding expectations. The books come through clean — a forensic grade of A, and Altman puts distress risk in the safe zone.

Revenue is on a 2-year growth streak. 15% CAGR over 3 years — steady double-digit compounder. Growth is decelerating — latest year grew slower than the year before.
Net profit has risen every year — the hallmark of a compounder. Profit is growing faster than revenue (25% vs 15%) — margin expansion is at work.
Operating margins have been stable around 6% — no major structural shift.
ROE at 12% — a respectable return on shareholder capital. 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 (25% vs 9%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. 9% 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 2.1× PAT — earnings are well-backed by cash; strong accrual quality. Heavy investing spend every year, but operations generate enough to cover it — the business self-funds its growth.
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 fading — recent quarters 17% below earlier ones.
Profit jumped 36% 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 4.6y median.
Promoter holding at 58.2% — majority control intact.
