A decent, fast-growing business, trading cheap versus its own history — but flagged on governance.
Garden Reach Ship & Eng is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a healthy 10.3% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash conversion lags the reported profit (CFO/PAT -0.39×) — worth a closer look. Free cash flow is worth about 1.0% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 38%/yr and profit at 49%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 23%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is an elite 28.5%. In the latest quarter profit fell 43% versus the prior quarter.
At 33× earnings, the stock sits at the 16th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~15%/yr earnings growth for a decade. The forensic screen raises a red flag: Only ₹0.25 of cash per ₹1 profit over 4 years — earnings not converting to cash.

Revenue has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. 38% CAGR over 3 years — high-growth territory.
Net profit has risen every year — the hallmark of a compounder. Profit is growing faster than revenue (49% vs 38%) — margin expansion is at work. The latest year saw a +42% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from 11% to 14% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 28% — the business earns well above its cost of equity. Capital efficiency improving — ROE up 12pp across the window.
EPS has grown every year — each share earns more than the last, consistently. 49% EPS CAGR — this is the rate at which each share's claim on earnings is compounding.
2 of 4 years had negative operating cash flow — profitability on paper may not translate to cash. 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 fell 13% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 11% above earlier ones.
Profit fell 43% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.6y median.
Promoters hold 74.5% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game.
