Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A decent, stagnant business, fairly priced.
Greenply Industries is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a thin 3.3% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 2.75× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about 2.9% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 18%/yr and profit at -1%/yr. Book value has grown 12%/yr. Return on equity is a healthy 14.3%. In the latest quarter profit grew 14% versus the prior quarter.
At 37× earnings, the stock sits at the 41st percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the middle 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.

Revenue has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. 18% CAGR over 3 years — steady double-digit compounder.
Revenue is outpacing profit (18% vs -1%) — costs are rising faster than the top line.
Operating margin has compressed from 7% to 5% — costs or competition are eating into profitability. Margins have declined for 3 consecutive years — watch for a structural cost problem.
ROE at 10% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Capital efficiency declining — ROE down 6pp.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. -1% 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 2.7× 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 11% sequentially — momentum is building.
Profit jumped 14% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly net margins are expanding (2% → 5%) — 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 51.9% — majority control intact.
