Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A decent, fast-growing business, priced for perfection.
Bosch is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a healthy 13.3% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash conversion lags the reported profit (CFO/PAT 0.79×) — worth a closer look. Free cash flow is worth about 1.1% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 11%/yr and profit at 25%/yr. Book value has grown 11%/yr. Return on equity is a healthy 15.8%. In the latest quarter profit grew 24% versus the prior quarter.
At 54× earnings, the stock sits at the 86th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the expensive end of where it has historically traded. Today's price already implies ~25%/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. 11% CAGR over 3 years — steady double-digit compounder.
Profit is growing faster than revenue (25% vs 11%) — margin expansion is at work. The latest year saw a +38% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from 12% to 17% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 19% — a respectable return on shareholder capital. Capital efficiency improving — ROE up 6pp across the window.
25% 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 rose 6% sequentially — momentum is building. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 17% above earlier ones.
Profit jumped 24% 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.
Promoters hold 70.5% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game.
