Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A decent, stagnant business, fully valued — but flagged on governance.
Eid Parry India is scored on the commodity / cyclical framework. It keeps a thin 3.5% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 1.12× reported profit. It throws off free cash worth 11.9% of its market value — a strong free-cash yield.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 3%/yr and profit at -9%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 16%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a modest 9.9%.
At 20× earnings, the stock sits at the 69th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the middle of where it has historically traded. Today's price asks for only ~-2%/yr growth over a decade — undemanding expectations. The forensic screen raises a red flag: Share count up 26% over 4 years — heavy equity dilution.

3% CAGR — growing but slowly. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
Revenue is outpacing profit (3% vs -9%) — costs are rising faster than the top line.
Operating margin has compressed from 7% to 5% — costs or competition are eating into profitability.
ROE at 9% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Capital efficiency declining — ROE down 10pp.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. Profit grew faster than EPS (-9% vs -16%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. -16% 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 rose 14% sequentially — momentum is building. Wide quarterly swings (33% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate fading — recent quarters 23% below earlier ones.
1 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit jumped 208% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly margins are compressing (7% → 3%) — 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 3.6y median.
Promoters at 41.3% — dispersed ownership; institutional flows drive the stock. FIIs trimmed 3.0pp — foreign money is rotating out. MF holding up 4.4pp — domestic institutional discovery underway.
