Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A middling, fast-growing business, priced for perfection — but flagged on governance.
Creative Newtech is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a thin 2.6% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash conversion lags the reported profit (CFO/PAT -3.87×) — worth a closer look. Free cash flow is worth about -14.1% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 25%/yr and profit at 37%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 45%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is an elite 20.1%. In the latest quarter profit grew 92% versus the prior quarter.
At 32× earnings, the stock sits at the 89th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the expensive end of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~12%/yr earnings growth for a decade. The forensic screen raises 2 red flags: Only ₹-1.51 of cash per ₹1 profit over 4 years — earnings not converting to cash; Share count up 23% over 4 years — heavy equity dilution.

Revenue has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. 25% CAGR over 3 years — high-growth territory. 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 (37% vs 25%) — margin expansion is at work. The latest year saw a +32% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margins have been stable around 3% — no major structural shift.
ROE at 18% — a respectable return on shareholder capital. High ROE despite single-digit margins — an asset-turn play with high capital velocity. Low variance across years — a predictable business that earns steadily on its equity base.
Profit grew faster than EPS (37% vs 28%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. 28% EPS CAGR — this is the rate at which each share's claim on earnings is compounding.
3 of 4 years had negative operating cash flow — profitability on paper may not translate to cash. Investing outflows exceed operating cash — the company relies on external funding to finance expansion.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue rose 58% sequentially — momentum is building. Wide quarterly swings (48% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate fading — recent quarters 26% below earlier ones.
Profit jumped 92% 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 56.6% — majority control intact.
