Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
An exceptional, fast-growing business, reasonably priced.
Hero MotoCorp is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a healthy 11.9% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 1.44× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about 3.5% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 12%/yr and profit at 27%/yr. Book value has grown 9%/yr. Return on equity is an elite 25.6%. In the latest quarter profit fell 4% versus the prior quarter.
At 19× earnings, the stock sits at the 23rd percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~8%/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.

Revenue has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. 12% CAGR over 3 years — steady double-digit compounder. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
Net profit has risen every year — the hallmark of a compounder. Profit is growing faster than revenue (27% vs 12%) — margin expansion is at work. The latest year saw a +32% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from 11% to 15% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 26% — the business earns well above its cost of equity. Capital efficiency improving — ROE up 10pp across the window.
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. Cash conversion at 1.4× 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 broadly flat QoQ — stable but not accelerating. Low quarterly variance (8% spread) — a predictable, non-seasonal revenue stream.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.6y median.
Promoters at 34.7% — dispersed ownership; institutional flows drive the stock. FII stake up 2.8pp over 4 quarters — growing foreign interest. MF stake down 2.1pp — domestic funds are booking profits or rebalancing out.
