Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A decent, slow-growing business, trading cheap versus its own history.
Dabur India is scored on the consumer / fmcg framework. It keeps a healthy 13.6% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 1.38× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about 1.9% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 5%/yr and profit at 3%/yr. Book value has grown 8%/yr. Return on equity is a healthy 17.6%. In the latest quarter profit grew 62% versus the prior quarter.
At 36× earnings, the stock sits at the 3rd percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~16%/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 has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. 5% CAGR — growing but slowly.
Operating margins have been stable around 18% — no major structural shift. Margins have declined for 2 consecutive years — watch for a structural cost problem.
ROE at 16% — a respectable return on shareholder capital. Low variance across years — a predictable business that earns steadily on its equity base.
4% 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 1.4× 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 rose 23% sequentially — momentum is building.
Profit jumped 62% 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 66.3% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game.
