Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A decent, fast-growing business, trading cheap versus its own history.
Chalet Hotels is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a fat 22.9% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 1.65× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about 2.8% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 34%/yr and profit at 52%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 34%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a healthy 14.8%. In the latest quarter profit fell 47% versus the prior quarter.
At 27× earnings, the stock sits at the 8th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~15%/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. 34% CAGR over 3 years — high-growth territory. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
Profit is growing faster than revenue (52% vs 34%) — margin expansion is at work. The latest year saw a +353% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from 23% to 29% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 17% — a respectable return on shareholder capital. ROE powered by fat margins — the hallmark of a high-quality franchise with pricing power. Capital efficiency improving — ROE up 6pp across the window.
Profit grew faster than EPS (52% vs 49%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. 49% 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 1.7× 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 fell 9% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Run-rate fading — recent quarters 18% below earlier ones.
Profit fell 47% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly margins are compressing (21% → 17%) — 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 hold 67.3% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game. MF holding up 2.1pp — domestic institutional discovery underway.
