Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A weak, stagnant business, priced for perfection — but flagged on governance.
EPACK DURABLE LIMITED is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a thin 0.2% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash conversion lags the reported profit (CFO/PAT -42.81×) — worth a closer look. Free cash flow is worth about -16.8% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 7%/yr and profit at -53%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 45%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a weak -1.1%. In the latest quarter profit fell 312% versus the prior quarter.
At 456× earnings, the stock sits at the 100th percentile of its own 2.2-year range — the expensive end of where it has historically traded. The forensic screen raises 2 red flags: 184% of pre-tax profit is other income, not operations; Share count up 41% over 4 years — heavy equity dilution.

Revenue declined 13% in the latest year — a break from prior trajectory. 7% CAGR — growing but slowly. Growth is decelerating — latest year grew slower than the year before.
Profit is on a 2-year growth streak. Revenue is outpacing profit (7% vs -53%) — costs are rising faster than the top line. The latest year saw a -94% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has compressed from 3% to 0% — costs or competition are eating into profitability.
ROE at 0% — 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 (-53% vs -58%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. -58% 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. Investing outflows exceed operating cash — the company relies on external funding to finance expansion.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue fell 50% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Wide quarterly swings (52% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 30% above earlier ones.
1 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit fell 312% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly margins are compressing (1% → -6%) — 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 2.2y median.
Promoters at 46.4% — dispersed ownership; institutional flows drive the stock.
