Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A decent, fast-growing business, priced for perfection — but flagged on governance.
CUPID LIMITED is scored on the consumer / fmcg framework. It keeps a fat 27.6% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash conversion lags the reported profit (CFO/PAT 0.43×) — worth a closer look. Free cash flow is worth about 0.2% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 38%/yr and profit at 55%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 22%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is an elite 24.0%. In the latest quarter profit grew 22% versus the prior quarter.
At 418× earnings, the stock sits at the 96th percentile of its own 1.9-year range — the expensive end of where it has historically traded. Today's price already implies ~49%/yr earnings growth sustained for a decade — a demanding bar. The forensic screen raises a red flag: Only ₹0.23 of cash per ₹1 profit over 3 years — earnings not converting to cash.

Revenue has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. 38% 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 (55% vs 38%) — margin expansion is at work. The latest year saw a +165% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from 26% to 36% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned. The gap between operating and net margin is widening — interest or tax costs are rising.
ROE at 24% — the business earns well above its cost of equity. ROE powered by fat margins — the hallmark of a high-quality franchise with pricing power. Capital efficiency improving — ROE up 11pp across the window.
Profit grew faster than EPS (55% 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.
1 of 3 years had negative operating cash flow — profitability on paper may not translate to cash. Cash conversion at 0.4× PAT — reported profit isn't translating into cash, raising earnings quality questions. Raising capital despite positive cash flow — could signal expansion plans or opportunistic fundraising.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue rose 19% sequentially — momentum is building. Wide quarterly swings (43% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 49% above earlier ones.
Profit jumped 22% 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 1.9y median.
Promoters at 47.7% — dispersed ownership; institutional flows drive the stock. Promoters added 2.1pp over 4 quarters — creeping acquisition signals conviction. FII stake up 3.2pp over 4 quarters — growing foreign interest.
