Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A decent, fast-growing business, priced for perfection.
Gabriel India is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a slim 8.2% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash broadly tracks reported profit (CFO/PAT 0.80×). Free cash flow is worth about 0.4% of its market value.
Over the last 2 years revenue compounded at 24%/yr and profit at 56%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 18%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a healthy 17.9%. In the latest quarter profit fell 9% versus the prior quarter.
At 78× earnings, the stock sits at the 95th percentile of its own 2.6-year range — the expensive end of where it has historically traded. Today's price already implies ~24%/yr earnings growth sustained for a decade — a demanding bar. 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 3 financial years shown. 24% CAGR over 2 years — high-growth territory. 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 (55% vs 24%) — margin expansion is at work. The latest year saw a +76% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from 7% to 10% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 18% — a respectable return on shareholder capital. 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. Profit grew faster than EPS (55% vs 19%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. 19% 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 broadly flat QoQ — stable but not accelerating. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 19% above earlier ones.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 2.6y median.
Promoters hold 66.3% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game. Promoters added 11.3pp over 4 quarters — creeping acquisition signals conviction. MF stake down 4.2pp — domestic funds are booking profits or rebalancing out.
