Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A decent, fast-growing business, trading cheap versus its own history.
Escorts Kubota is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a healthy 19.8% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash conversion lags the reported profit (CFO/PAT 0.58×) — worth a closer look. Free cash flow is worth about 0.9% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 12%/yr and profit at 56%/yr. Book value has grown 15%/yr. Return on equity is a modest 10.9%. In the latest quarter profit grew 20% versus the prior quarter.
At 11× earnings, the stock sits at the 1st percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the cheap end 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 has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. 12% CAGR over 3 years — steady double-digit compounder. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
Net profit has risen every year — the hallmark of a compounder. Profit is growing faster than revenue (56% vs 12%) — margin expansion is at work. The latest year saw a +89% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from 10% to 15% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned. Interest or tax burden is shrinking — more of the operating profit is reaching the bottom line.
ROE at 11% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Low variance across years — a predictable business that earns steadily on its equity base.
EPS has grown every year — each share earns more than the last, consistently. 55% 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. Heavy investing spend every year, but operations generate enough to cover it — the business self-funds its growth. Financing outflows in consecutive years — balance-sheet discipline through debt repayment or dividends.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue rose 11% sequentially — momentum is building.
Profit jumped 20% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.6y median.
Promoters hold 68.0% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game. FIIs have accumulated for 3 straight quarters — sustained foreign institutional conviction.
