A decent, fast-growing business, fully valued.
COFORGE LIMITED is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a healthy 10.6% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash broadly tracks reported profit (CFO/PAT 1.03×). Free cash flow is worth about 1.5% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 27%/yr and profit at 33%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 45%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a modest 9.8%. In the latest quarter profit grew 14% versus the prior quarter.
At 45× earnings, the stock sits at the 73rd percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the middle of where it has historically traded. Today's price already implies ~20%/yr earnings growth sustained for a decade — a demanding bar. 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. 27% CAGR over 3 years — high-growth territory.
Net profit has risen every year — the hallmark of a compounder. Profit is growing faster than revenue (33% vs 27%) — margin expansion is at work. The latest year saw a +86% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margins have been stable around 12% — no major structural shift.
ROE at 17% — a respectable return on shareholder capital. Capital efficiency declining — ROE down 6pp.
Profit grew faster than EPS (33% vs -26%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. -26% 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. 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 rose 12% sequentially — momentum is building. Wide quarterly swings (31% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 35% above earlier ones.
Profit jumped 14% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly net margins are expanding (7% → 10%) — profitability per rupee of revenue is improving.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.6y median.
FIIs trimmed 5.9pp — foreign money is rotating out. MF stake down 8.3pp — domestic funds are booking profits or rebalancing out. Both FII and MF added last quarter — broad institutional confidence.
