Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A decent, fast-growing business, priced for perfection.
Garware Hi-Tech Films is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a healthy 15.5% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash broadly tracks reported profit (CFO/PAT 0.81×). Free cash flow is worth about 0.4% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 14%/yr and profit at 27%/yr. Book value has grown 13%/yr. Return on equity is a healthy 14.7%. In the latest quarter profit grew 23% versus the prior quarter.
At 53× earnings, the stock sits at the 96th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the expensive end of where it has historically traded. Today's price already implies ~19%/yr earnings growth sustained for a decade — a demanding bar. 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. 14% 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 (27% vs 14%) — margin expansion is at work.
Operating margin has expanded from 15% to 20% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 13% — a respectable return on shareholder capital. Low variance across years — a predictable business that earns steadily on its equity base.
EPS has grown every year — each share earns more than the last, consistently. 27% 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. 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 rose 6% sequentially — momentum is building. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 20% above earlier ones.
Profit jumped 23% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly net margins are expanding (16% → 20%) — 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 60.7% — majority control intact.
