Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A high-quality, steadily growing business, trading cheap versus its own history.
Ganesh Benzoplast is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a healthy 16.8% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash conversion lags the reported profit (CFO/PAT 0.75×) — worth a closer look. Free cash flow is worth about -0.8% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 1%/yr and profit at 10%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 20%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a healthy 12.0%. In the latest quarter profit grew 15% versus the prior quarter.
At 9× 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 ~-2%/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.

1% CAGR — growing but slowly. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
Profit is growing faster than revenue (10% vs 1%) — margin expansion is at work. The latest year saw a +93% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from 17% to 22% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned. Margins have declined for 2 consecutive years — watch for a structural cost problem.
ROE at 12% — modest; the capital isn't working hard.
Profit grew faster than EPS (10% vs 5%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. 5% 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. 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 5% sequentially — momentum is building. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 9% above earlier ones.
Profit jumped 15% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly margins are compressing (22% → 14%) — 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 3.6y median.
Promoters at 39.0% — dispersed ownership; institutional flows drive the stock. FIIs trimmed 2.9pp — foreign money is rotating out.
