A decent business, trading cheap versus its own history.
Fiberweb India is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a healthy 11.6% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 1.73× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about -3.1% of its market value.
Book value has grown 7%/yr. Return on equity is a weak 4.5%. In the latest quarter profit grew 370% versus the prior quarter.
At 7× earnings, the stock sits at the 15th percentile of its own 2.6-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~8%/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 is on a 2-year growth streak. 9% CAGR — growing but slowly. Growth is decelerating — latest year grew slower than the year before.
1 of the 4 years shown had a loss — profitability is inconsistent. The latest year saw a -33% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from 1% to 16% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned. The gap between operating and net margin is widening — interest or tax costs are rising.
ROE at 5% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Capital efficiency improving — ROE up 6pp across the window.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. 18% 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 1.7× PAT — earnings are well-backed by cash; strong accrual quality. 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 rose 210% sequentially — momentum is building. Wide quarterly swings (68% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 13% above earlier ones.
1 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit jumped 370% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly margins are compressing (15% → 4%) — 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 2.6y median.
Promoters at 47.2% — dispersed ownership; institutional flows drive the stock.
