A decent business, trading cheap versus its own history.
Cie Automotive India is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a slim 8.7% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 1.52× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about 3.5% of its market value.
Book value has grown 14%/yr. Return on equity is a modest 11.4%. In the latest quarter profit grew 3% versus the prior quarter.
At 16× earnings, the stock sits at the 11th percentile of its own 2.9-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~10%/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.

3% CAGR — growing but slowly. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
1 of the 4 years shown had a loss — profitability is inconsistent.
Operating margins have been stable around 11% — no major structural shift. Interest or tax burden is shrinking — more of the operating profit is reaching the bottom line.
ROE at 11% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Low variance across years — a predictable business that earns steadily on its equity base.
-14% 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 1.5× 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 (10% spread) — a predictable, non-seasonal revenue stream.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 2.9y median.
Promoters hold 65.7% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game.
