Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
An exceptional, fast-growing business, trading cheap versus its own history.
Chambal Fertilizers is scored on the commodity / cyclical framework. It keeps a slim 9.3% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash conversion lags the reported profit (CFO/PAT 0.07×) — worth a closer look. Free cash flow is worth about -2.2% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at -9%/yr and profit at 24%/yr. Book value has grown 14%/yr. Return on equity is a healthy 16.8%. In the latest quarter profit grew 209% versus the prior quarter.
At 8× earnings, the stock sits at the 2nd percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price asks for only ~-4%/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.

Negative CAGR — the top line has shrunk over this window. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
Net profit has risen every year — the hallmark of a compounder. Profit is growing faster than revenue (24% vs -9%) — margin expansion is at work.
Operating margin has expanded from 5% to 12% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 19% — a respectable return on shareholder capital.
EPS has grown every year — each share earns more than the last, consistently. 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. Cash conversion at 0.1× PAT — reported profit isn't translating into cash, raising earnings quality questions. Raising capital despite positive cash flow — could signal expansion plans or opportunistic fundraising.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue rose 80% sequentially — momentum is building. Wide quarterly swings (56% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate fading — recent quarters 36% below earlier ones.
Profit jumped 209% 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.
Promoter holding at 61.7% — majority control intact. FIIs trimmed 2.3pp — foreign money is rotating out.
