Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A middling, stagnant business, priced for perfection.
Gujarat Mineral Development is scored on the commodity / cyclical framework. It keeps a fat 31.1% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 1.11× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about 1.4% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at -8%/yr and profit at -7%/yr. Book value has grown 10%/yr. Return on equity is a weak 8.0%. In the latest quarter profit fell 16% versus the prior quarter.
At 26× earnings, the stock sits at the 82nd percentile of its own 4.5-year range — the expensive end of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~8%/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.

Revenue declined 4% in the latest year — a break from prior trajectory. Negative CAGR — the top line has shrunk over this window. Growth is decelerating — latest year grew slower than the year before.
The latest year saw a +41% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margins have been stable around 41% — no major structural shift. Margins have declined for 2 consecutive years — watch for a structural cost problem.
ROE at 11% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Capital efficiency declining — ROE down 10pp.
Profit grew faster than EPS (-7% vs -25%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. -25% 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. 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. Wide quarterly swings (35% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 50% above earlier ones.
Profit fell 16% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly margins are compressing (73% → 17%) — 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 4.5y median.
Promoters hold 74.0% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game.
