Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A weak, stagnant business, fully valued — but flagged on governance.
GUJARAT APOLLO INDUSTRIES is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a slim 6.5% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash conversion lags the reported profit (CFO/PAT -7.52×) — worth a closer look. Free cash flow is worth about -1.6% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at -6%/yr and profit at -26%/yr. Book value has been broadly flat (1.9%/yr). Return on equity is a weak 1.2%. In the latest quarter profit fell 45% versus the prior quarter.
At 74× earnings, the stock sits at the 62nd percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the middle of where it has historically traded. Today's price already implies ~28%/yr earnings growth sustained for a decade — a demanding bar. The forensic screen raises 2 red flags: Only ₹-3.83 of cash per ₹1 profit over 4 years — earnings not converting to cash; 418% of pre-tax profit is other income, not operations.

Negative CAGR — the top line has shrunk over this window. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
Revenue is outpacing profit (-6% vs -25%) — costs are rising faster than the top line. The latest year saw a +251% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has compressed from 12% to 8% — costs or competition are eating into profitability. The gap between operating and net margin is widening — interest or tax costs are rising.
ROE at 1% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Low variance across years — a predictable business that earns steadily on its equity base.
EPS outpaced profit growth — possible buybacks are concentrating earnings into fewer shares. -21% EPS CAGR — this is the rate at which each share's claim on earnings is compounding.
3 of 4 years had negative operating cash flow — profitability on paper may not translate to cash.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue broadly flat QoQ — stable but not accelerating. Run-rate fading — recent quarters 18% below earlier ones.
Profit fell 45% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly margins are compressing (9% → 6%) — 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 3.6y median.
Promoters at 47.3% — dispersed ownership; institutional flows drive the stock.
