Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A middling, stagnant business, fairly priced.
Cyient is scored on the it / services framework. It keeps a slim 6.2% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 1.70× reported profit. It throws off free cash worth 7.3% of its market value — a strong free-cash yield.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 7%/yr and profit at -3%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 21%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a modest 8.2%. In the latest quarter profit grew 22% versus the prior quarter.
At 29× earnings, the stock sits at the 57th 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.

Revenue is on a 2-year growth streak. 7% CAGR — growing but slowly.
Revenue is outpacing profit (7% vs -3%) — costs are rising faster than the top line.
Operating margin has compressed from 11% to 9% — costs or competition are eating into profitability.
ROE at 8% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Capital efficiency declining — ROE down 7pp.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. Profit grew faster than EPS (-3% vs -6%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. -6% 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 1.7× PAT — earnings are well-backed by cash; strong accrual quality. 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 8% sequentially — momentum is building. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 13% 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 3.6y median.
Promoters hold just 24.8% — widely held; sentiment-driven. Promoters added 1.5pp over 4 quarters — creeping acquisition signals conviction. MF stake down 2.7pp — domestic funds are booking profits or rebalancing out.
