A decent, fast-growing business, fairly priced.
DOLPHIN OFF ENT (IND) L is scored on the commodity / cyclical framework. It keeps a fat 51.2% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash conversion lags the reported profit (CFO/PAT 0.66×) — worth a closer look. Free cash flow is worth about -1.2% of its market value.
Profit has compounded at 24%/yr over 3 years. Book value itself has compounded 26%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is an elite 19.3%. In the latest quarter profit grew 27% versus the prior quarter.
At 37× earnings, the stock sits at the 59th percentile of its own 3.2-year range — the middle 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 B, and Altman puts distress risk in the safe zone.

Revenue has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. Growth is decelerating — latest year grew slower than the year before.
The latest year saw a +47% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from 2% to 45% — 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 19% — a respectable return on shareholder capital. ROE powered by fat margins — the hallmark of a high-quality franchise with pricing power.
Profit grew faster than EPS (24% vs -67%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. -67% EPS CAGR — this is the rate at which each share's claim on earnings is compounding.
1 of 4 years had negative operating cash flow — profitability on paper may not translate to cash. 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 10% sequentially — momentum is building. Wide quarterly swings (44% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue.
Profit jumped 27% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly margins are compressing (42% → 40%) — 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 3.2y median.
Promoters hold 75.0% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game.
