A decent, stagnant business, fairly priced.
Deepak Nitrite is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a slim 6.9% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash broadly tracks reported profit (CFO/PAT 0.98×). Free cash flow is worth about -0.6% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at -0%/yr and profit at -14%/yr. Book value has grown 13%/yr. Return on equity is a healthy 16.4%. In the latest quarter profit grew 57% versus the prior quarter.
At 38× earnings, the stock sits at the 56th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the middle of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~9%/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 declined 5% 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.
Revenue is outpacing profit (-0% vs -14%) — costs are rising faster than the top line.
Operating margin has compressed from 14% to 10% — costs or competition are eating into profitability. Margins have declined for 3 consecutive years — watch for a structural cost problem.
ROE at 9% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. 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. -14% 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. Investing outflows exceed operating cash — the company relies on external funding to finance expansion. 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 22% sequentially — momentum is building. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 21% above earlier ones.
Profit jumped 57% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly net margins are expanding (6% → 13%) — profitability per rupee of revenue is improving.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.6y median.
Promoters at 49.4% — dispersed ownership; institutional flows drive the stock. FIIs have accumulated for 3 straight quarters — sustained foreign institutional conviction.
