A decent, stagnant business, reasonably priced.
GUJARAT RAFFIA INDUST LTD is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a thin 1.2% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 4.67× reported profit. It throws off free cash worth 12.1% of its market value — a strong free-cash yield.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 29%/yr and profit at 1%/yr. Book value has grown 3%/yr. Return on equity is a weak 4.7%. In the latest quarter profit grew 15% versus the prior quarter.
At 22× earnings, the stock sits at the 33rd percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the middle of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~9%/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.

29% CAGR over 3 years — high-growth territory. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
Revenue is outpacing profit (29% vs 1%) — costs are rising faster than the top line. The latest year saw a +102% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has compressed from 3% to 1% — costs or competition are eating into profitability. Margins have declined for 3 consecutive years — watch for a structural cost problem.
ROE at 5% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Low variance across years — a predictable business that earns steadily on its equity base.
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 4.7× 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 fell 65% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Wide quarterly swings (65% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate fading — recent quarters 27% below earlier ones.
Profit jumped 15% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly net margins are expanding (1% → 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.
Promoters at 39.6% — dispersed ownership; institutional flows drive the stock.
