A middling, stagnant business, trading cheap versus its own history — but flagged on governance.
Container Corp of India is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a healthy 12.9% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 1.22× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about 3.7% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 4%/yr and profit at 2%/yr. Book value has grown 5%/yr. Return on equity is a modest 9.1%. In the latest quarter profit grew 5% versus the prior quarter.
At 27× earnings, the stock sits at the 12th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~13%/yr earnings growth for a decade. The forensic screen raises a red flag: Share count up 25% over 4 years — heavy equity dilution.

Revenue has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. 4% CAGR — growing but slowly.
Profit is on a 2-year growth streak.
Operating margins have been stable around 17% — no major structural shift.
ROE at 10% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Low variance across years — a predictable business that earns steadily on its equity base.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. Profit grew faster than EPS (2% vs -5%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. -5% 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 1.2× 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 (8% spread) — a predictable, non-seasonal revenue stream.
Quarterly margins are compressing (15% → 12%) — 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.
Promoter holding at 54.8% — majority control intact.
