A decent business, trading cheap versus its own history.
Dilip Buildcon is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a healthy 14.7% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash broadly tracks reported profit (CFO/PAT 0.86×). It throws off free cash worth 25.7% of its market value — a strong free-cash yield.
Book value itself has compounded 20%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a modest 8.2%. In the latest quarter profit grew 3% versus the prior quarter.
At 5× earnings, the stock sits at the 4th percentile of its own 2.6-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price asks for only ~-10%/yr growth over a decade — undemanding expectations. The books come through clean — a forensic grade of B, and Altman puts distress risk in the safe zone.

Revenue declined 17% in the latest year — a break from prior trajectory. Negative CAGR — the top line has shrunk over this window. Growth is decelerating — latest year grew slower than the year before.
1 of the 4 years shown had a loss — profitability is inconsistent. The latest year saw a +66% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from 1% to 15% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 20% — the business earns well above its cost of equity. Capital efficiency improving — ROE up 20pp across the window.
EPS has grown every year — each share earns more than the last, consistently. Profit grew faster than EPS (164% vs 150%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. 150% 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.
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. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 11% above earlier ones.
Quarterly margins are compressing (11% → 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 2.6y median.
Promoter holding at 63.1% — majority control intact.
