Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A high-quality, fast-growing business, reasonably priced.
GPT INFRAPROJECTS is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a slim 7.4% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash conversion lags the reported profit (CFO/PAT 0.67×) — worth a closer look. Free cash flow is worth about -7.5% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 17%/yr and profit at 50%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 29%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a healthy 15.1%. In the latest quarter profit fell 19% versus the prior quarter.
At 14× earnings, the stock sits at the 37th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the middle of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~5%/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 has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. 17% CAGR over 3 years — steady double-digit compounder. Growth is decelerating — latest year grew slower than the year before.
Net profit has risen every year — the hallmark of a compounder. Profit is growing faster than revenue (50% vs 17%) — margin expansion is at work.
Operating margin has expanded from 4% to 10% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 16% — a respectable return on shareholder capital. High ROE despite single-digit margins — an asset-turn play with high capital velocity. Capital efficiency improving — ROE up 6pp across the window.
Profit grew faster than EPS (50% vs 13%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. 13% 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. Investing outflows exceed operating cash — the company relies on external funding to finance expansion. Raising capital despite positive cash flow — could signal expansion plans or opportunistic fundraising.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue fell 26% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Wide quarterly swings (32% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 27% above earlier ones.
Profit fell 19% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters.

Promoters hold 69.4% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game.
