Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A high-quality, steadily growing business, trading cheap versus its own history.
Cera Sanitaryware is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a healthy 12.5% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash conversion lags the reported profit (CFO/PAT 0.49×) — worth a closer look. Free cash flow is worth about 4.0% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 11%/yr and profit at 18%/yr. Book value has grown 10%/yr. Return on equity is an elite 18.2%. In the latest quarter profit fell 45% versus the prior quarter.
At 25× earnings, the stock sits at the 3rd percentile of its own 4.6-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~12%/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. 11% CAGR over 3 years — steady double-digit compounder.
Net profit has risen every year — the hallmark of a compounder. Profit is growing faster than revenue (18% vs 11%) — margin expansion is at work.
Operating margins have been stable around 16% — no major structural shift.
ROE at 18% — a respectable return on shareholder capital. Low variance across years — a predictable business that earns steadily on its equity base.
EPS has grown every year — each share earns more than the last, consistently. 18% 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 0.5× PAT — reported profit isn't translating into cash, raising earnings quality questions. 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 fell 26% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown.
Profit fell 45% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly margins are compressing (13% → 11%) — 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 4.6y median.
Promoter holding at 54.4% — majority control intact. MF holding up 2.2pp — domestic institutional discovery underway.
