A decent, stagnant business, reasonably priced.
Coromandel Interntl is scored on the commodity / cyclical framework. It keeps a slim 6.0% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash broadly tracks reported profit (CFO/PAT 0.82×). Free cash flow is worth about 1.9% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 2%/yr and profit at -2%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 18%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a healthy 15.6%. In the latest quarter profit grew 233% versus the prior quarter.
At 27× earnings, the stock sits at the 39th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the middle of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~15%/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.

2% CAGR — growing but slowly. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
Revenue is outpacing profit (2% vs -2%) — costs are rising faster than the top line.
Operating margins have been stable around 8% — no major structural shift.
ROE at 14% — a respectable return on shareholder capital. Capital efficiency declining — ROE down 11pp.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. -1% 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. Financing outflows in consecutive years — balance-sheet discipline through debt repayment or dividends.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue rose 35% sequentially — momentum is building. Wide quarterly swings (38% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate fading — recent quarters 23% below earlier ones.
Profit jumped 233% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly margins are compressing (8% → 5%) — 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 56.3% — majority control intact. FIIs trimmed 2.5pp — foreign money is rotating out. MF holding up 2.0pp — domestic institutional discovery underway.
