Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A decent, steadily growing business, trading cheap versus its own history — but flagged on governance.
BEARDSELL is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a slim 4.1% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 2.30× reported profit. It throws off free cash worth 16.6% of its market value — a strong free-cash yield.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 6%/yr and profit at 10%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 17%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a healthy 12.4%. In the latest quarter profit fell 48% versus the prior quarter.
At 10× earnings, the stock sits at the 8th percentile of its own 4.6-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price asks for only ~-2%/yr growth over a decade — undemanding expectations. The forensic screen raises a red flag: Share count up 32% over 4 years — heavy equity dilution.

Revenue has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. 5% CAGR — growing but slowly. Growth is decelerating — latest year grew slower than the year before.
Profit is growing faster than revenue (10% vs 5%) — 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.
Profit grew faster than EPS (10% vs 5%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. 5% 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 2.3× 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. Low quarterly variance (8% spread) — a predictable, non-seasonal revenue stream.
Profit fell 48% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 4.6y median.
Promoter holding at 52.7% — majority control intact.
