Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A high-quality, steadily growing business, trading cheap versus its own history.
Godrej Agrovet is scored on the consumer / fmcg framework. It keeps a slim 4.3% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 2.88× reported profit. It throws off free cash worth 9.8% of its market value — a strong free-cash yield.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 3%/yr and profit at 15%/yr. Net worth has actually shrunk (-8%/yr) — value is not being built. Return on equity is an elite 23.3%. In the latest quarter profit grew 25% versus the prior quarter.
At 24× earnings, the stock sits at the 14th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~13%/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.

3% 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 (15% vs 3%) — margin expansion is at work.
Operating margin has expanded from 4% to 6% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 21% — the business earns well above its cost of equity. High ROE despite single-digit margins — an asset-turn play with high capital velocity. Capital efficiency improving — ROE up 10pp across the window.
EPS has grown every year — each share earns more than the last, consistently. 16% 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 2.9× PAT — earnings are well-backed by cash; strong accrual quality. Heavy investing spend every year, but operations generate enough to cover it — the business self-funds its growth.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue rose 20% sequentially — momentum is building.
Profit jumped 25% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.6y median.
Promoters hold 67.7% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game.
