A decent, fast-growing business, trading cheap versus its own history.
IFB Industries is scored on the consumer / fmcg framework. It keeps a thin 2.5% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 2.08× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about 3.3% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 10%/yr and profit at 113%/yr. Book value has grown 14%/yr. Return on equity is a healthy 13.8%. In the latest quarter profit grew 1% versus the prior quarter.
At 31× earnings, the stock sits at the 3rd percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~15%/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. 10% CAGR over 3 years — steady double-digit compounder.
Net profit has risen every year — the hallmark of a compounder. Profit is growing faster than revenue (113% vs 10%) — margin expansion is at work.
Operating margin has expanded from 1% to 3% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 14% — a respectable return on shareholder capital. Capital efficiency improving — ROE up 12pp across the window.
EPS has grown every year — each share earns more than the last, consistently. 113% 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 2.1× 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 rose 6% sequentially — momentum is building. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 11% above earlier ones.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.6y median.
Promoters hold 75.0% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game.
