A decent, stagnant business, fairly priced.
Excel Industries is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a slim 6.8% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash conversion lags the reported profit (CFO/PAT 0.70×) — worth a closer look. Free cash flow is worth about 2.2% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 1%/yr and profit at -2%/yr. Book value has grown 11%/yr. Return on equity is a weak 3.8%. In the latest quarter profit grew 140% versus the prior quarter.
At 16× earnings, the stock sits at the 54th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the middle of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~6%/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.

1% CAGR — growing but slowly. Growth is decelerating — latest year grew slower than the year before.
Operating margins have been stable around 9% — no major structural shift.
ROE at 4% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Low variance across years — a predictable business that earns steadily on its equity base.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. -2% 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 6% sequentially — momentum is building. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 13% above earlier ones.
Profit jumped 140% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly net margins are expanding (8% → 10%) — 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 51.9% — majority control intact.
