Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A decent, steadily growing business, trading cheap versus its own history — but flagged on governance.
Harrison Malayalam is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a slim 5.2% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash broadly tracks reported profit (CFO/PAT 0.87×). Free cash flow is worth about 2.3% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 5%/yr and profit at 18%/yr. Book value has grown 5%/yr. Return on equity is a healthy 16.3%. In the latest quarter profit fell 57% versus the prior quarter.
At 11× earnings, the stock sits at the 2nd percentile of its own 2.6-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price asks for only ~1%/yr growth over a decade — undemanding expectations. The forensic screen raises a red flag: 82% of pre-tax profit is other income, not operations.

Revenue has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. 4% CAGR — growing but slowly.
1 of the 4 years shown had a loss — profitability is inconsistent. The latest year saw a +96% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from 4% to 5% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 16% — a respectable return on shareholder capital. High ROE despite single-digit margins — an asset-turn play with high capital velocity.
28% 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. Heavy investing spend every year, but operations generate enough to cover it — the business self-funds its growth. 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 16% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown.
Profit fell 57% 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 2.6y median.
Promoter holding at 54.1% — majority control intact.
