Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A high-quality, fast-growing business, trading cheap versus its own history.
Gillette India is scored on the consumer / fmcg framework. It keeps a fat 20.9% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash broadly tracks reported profit (CFO/PAT 0.93×). Free cash flow is worth about 2.5% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 8%/yr and profit at 23%/yr. Net worth has actually shrunk (-2%/yr) — value is not being built. Return on equity is an elite 69.1%. In the latest quarter profit fell 17% versus the prior quarter.
At 37× earnings, the stock sits at the 6th percentile of its own 3.4-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~17%/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.

8% CAGR — growing but slowly. 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 (23% vs 8%) — margin expansion is at work. The latest year saw a +57% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from 19% to 28% — 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 69% — the business earns well above its cost of equity. ROE powered by fat margins — the hallmark of a high-quality franchise with pricing power. Capital efficiency improving — ROE up 33pp across the window.
EPS has grown every year — each share earns more than the last, consistently. 23% 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. Low quarterly variance (4% spread) — a predictable, non-seasonal revenue stream.
Profit fell 17% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly net margins are expanding (18% → 20%) — profitability per rupee of revenue is improving.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.4y median.
Promoters hold 75.0% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game.
