Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A high-quality, steadily growing business, trading cheap versus its own history.
IndiaMART InterMESH is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a fat 26.8% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 1.46× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about 3.7% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 15%/yr and profit at 19%/yr. Book value has grown 5%/yr. Return on equity is an elite 21.6%. In the latest quarter profit fell 47% versus the prior quarter.
At 20× earnings, the stock sits at the 1st 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. 15% CAGR over 3 years — steady double-digit compounder. Growth is decelerating — latest year grew slower than the year before.
Profit is on a 2-year growth streak. Profit is growing faster than revenue (19% vs 15%) — margin expansion is at work.
Operating margin has expanded from 32% to 37% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned. The gap between operating and net margin is widening — interest or tax costs are rising.
ROE at 20% — a respectable return on shareholder capital. ROE powered by fat margins — the hallmark of a high-quality franchise with pricing power. Capital efficiency improving — ROE up 6pp across the window.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. 19% 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 1.5× PAT — earnings are well-backed by cash; strong accrual quality. 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 19% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Wide quarterly swings (31% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue.
Profit fell 47% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly margins are compressing (35% → 22%) — 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 49.1% — dispersed ownership; institutional flows drive the stock. FIIs have accumulated for 3 straight quarters — sustained foreign institutional conviction. MF stake down 6.5pp — domestic funds are booking profits or rebalancing out.
