Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A middling, stagnant business, reasonably priced — but flagged on governance.
Genus Power is scored on the commodity / cyclical framework. It keeps a thin 0.3% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 13.94× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about -2.6% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 14%/yr and profit at -52%/yr. Book value has been broadly flat (1.3%/yr). Return on equity is a weak 1.4%. In the latest quarter profit fell 25% versus the prior quarter.
At 95× earnings, the stock sits at the 30th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the middle of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~14%/yr earnings growth for a decade. The forensic screen raises a red flag: 61% of pre-tax profit is other income, not operations.

14% CAGR over 3 years — steady double-digit compounder. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
1 of the 4 years shown had a loss — profitability is inconsistent.
Operating margin has compressed from 5% to 0% — costs or competition are eating into profitability.
ROE at 1% — modest; the capital isn't working hard.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. -67% 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 13.9× 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 broadly flat QoQ — stable but not accelerating.
1 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit fell 25% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.6y median.
Promoter holding at 50.8% — majority control intact.
