Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
An exceptional, fast-growing business, trading cheap versus its own history.
Eveready Industries is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a healthy 11.8% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash conversion lags the reported profit (CFO/PAT 0.49×) — worth a closer look. It throws off free cash worth 6.7% of its market value — a strong free-cash yield.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 3%/yr and profit at 84%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 25%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is an elite 25.9%. In the latest quarter profit fell 74% versus the prior quarter.
At 13× earnings, the stock sits at the 2nd percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price asks for only ~-1%/yr growth over a decade — undemanding expectations. The books come through clean — a forensic grade of A, and Altman puts distress risk in the safe zone.

3% CAGR — growing but slowly. 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 (84% vs 3%) — margin expansion is at work. The latest year saw a +108% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from 3% to 11% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 28% — the business earns well above its cost of equity. Capital efficiency improving — ROE up 19pp across the window.
EPS has grown every year — each share earns more than the last, consistently. 84% 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. Cash conversion at 0.5× PAT — reported profit isn't translating into cash, raising earnings quality questions. 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 24% sequentially — momentum is building.
1 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit fell 74% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly net margins are expanding (-2% → 9%) — 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.
Promoters at 43.6% — dispersed ownership; institutional flows drive the stock.
