Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A weak business, reasonably priced — but flagged on governance.
GKW is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a thin -7.2% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Free cash flow is worth about 0.1% of its market value.
Book value has grown 6%/yr. Return on equity is a weak 3.6%.
At 72× earnings, the stock sits at the 28th percentile of its own 2-year range — the middle of where it has historically traded. Today's price already implies ~26%/yr earnings growth sustained for a decade — a demanding bar. The forensic screen raises 2 red flags: Only ₹-90.72 of cash per ₹1 profit over 4 years — earnings not converting to cash; 384% of pre-tax profit is other income, not operations.

Revenue declined 2% in the latest year — a break from prior trajectory. 16% CAGR over 3 years — steady double-digit compounder. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
2 of the 4 years shown had a loss — profitability is inconsistent. The latest year saw a +87% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has compressed from 64% to 13% — costs or competition are eating into profitability. Margins have declined for 2 consecutive years — watch for a structural cost problem.
Negative ROE — the business is destroying shareholder value. Low variance across years — a predictable business that earns steadily on its equity base.
58% EPS CAGR — this is the rate at which each share's claim on earnings is compounding.
2 of 4 years had negative operating cash flow — profitability on paper may not translate to cash. 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 rose 525% sequentially — momentum is building. Wide quarterly swings (124% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate fading — recent quarters 46% below earlier ones.
2 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit jumped 292% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly net margins are expanding (-143% → 72%) — profitability per rupee of revenue is improving.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 2y median.
Promoters hold 75.0% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game.
