A high-quality, fast-growing business, trading cheap versus its own history.
Gujarat Industrial Power Co. is scored on the commodity / cyclical framework. It keeps a fat 25.4% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 1.61× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about -62.3% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 4%/yr and profit at 29%/yr. Book value has grown 7%/yr. Return on equity is a healthy 14.2%. In the latest quarter profit fell 52% versus the prior quarter.
At 6× earnings, the stock sits at the 12th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price asks for only ~-14%/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.

4% 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 (29% vs 4%) — margin expansion is at work. The latest year saw a +90% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has compressed from 18% to 15% — costs or competition are eating into profitability. Interest or tax burden is shrinking — more of the operating profit is reaching the bottom line.
ROE at 10% — modest; the capital isn't working hard.
EPS has grown every year — each share earns more than the last, consistently. 28% 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 1.6× 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 30% sequentially — momentum is building. Wide quarterly swings (44% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 49% above earlier ones.
1 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit fell 52% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly net margins are expanding (6% → 26%) — profitability per rupee of revenue is improving.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.6y median.
Promoter holding at 56.6% — majority control intact.
