Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A middling, fast-growing business, fairly priced — but flagged on governance.
The Grob Tea Company is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a slim 4.8% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash conversion lags the reported profit (CFO/PAT 0.57×) — worth a closer look. Free cash flow is worth about -29.8% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 5%/yr and profit at 112%/yr. Book value has grown 6%/yr. Return on equity is a weak 6.2%.
At 19× earnings, the stock sits at the 58th percentile of its own 2.6-year range — the middle of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~4%/yr earnings growth for a decade. The forensic screen raises a red flag: 92% of pre-tax profit is other income, not operations.

Revenue declined 4% in the latest year — a break from prior trajectory. 5% CAGR — growing but slowly. Growth is decelerating — latest year grew slower than the year before.
1 of the 4 years shown had a loss — profitability is inconsistent. The latest year saw a -43% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from 4% to 6% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 6% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Capital efficiency improving — ROE up 5pp across the window.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. 209% 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. 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 rose 115% sequentially — momentum is building. Wide quarterly swings (77% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate fading — recent quarters 60% below earlier ones.
1 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit jumped 117% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly margins are compressing (40% → 13%) — 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 2.6y median.
Promoters hold 75.0% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game.
