Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A middling, stagnant business, fully valued — but flagged on governance.
Eldeco HSG & Ind is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a healthy 13.8% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash conversion lags the reported profit (CFO/PAT -0.29×) — worth a closer look. Free cash flow is worth about 0.2% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 8%/yr and profit at -18%/yr. Book value has grown 5%/yr. Return on equity is a modest 9.7%. In the latest quarter profit grew 212% versus the prior quarter.
At 33× earnings, the stock sits at the 66th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the middle of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~8%/yr earnings growth for a decade. The forensic screen raises a red flag: Only ₹-0.79 of cash per ₹1 profit over 4 years — earnings not converting to cash.

8% CAGR — growing but slowly.
Revenue is outpacing profit (8% vs -18%) — costs are rising faster than the top line.
Operating margin has compressed from 43% to 21% — costs or competition are eating into profitability. Interest or tax burden is shrinking — more of the operating profit is reaching the bottom line. Margins have declined for 2 consecutive years — watch for a structural cost problem.
ROE at 6% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Capital efficiency declining — ROE down 7pp.
-18% EPS CAGR — this is the rate at which each share's claim on earnings is compounding.
2 of 3 years had negative operating cash flow — profitability on paper may not translate to cash.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue fell 22% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Wide quarterly swings (45% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 42% above earlier ones.
Profit jumped 212% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly net margins are expanding (7% → 30%) — 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.
Promoter holding at 54.8% — majority control intact.
