Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A decent, stagnant business, priced for perfection.
INDO BORAX & CHEMICAL LTD is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a fat 21.8% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 1.73× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about 0.8% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at -0%/yr and profit at -0%/yr. Book value has grown 15%/yr. Return on equity is a modest 11.1%. In the latest quarter profit grew 12% versus the prior quarter.
At 27× earnings, the stock sits at the 94th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the expensive end of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~12%/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.

Negative CAGR — the top line has shrunk over this window. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
Operating margins have been stable around 29% — no major structural shift.
ROE at 13% — a respectable return on shareholder capital. Capital efficiency declining — ROE down 7pp.
-0% EPS CAGR — this is the rate at which each share's claim on earnings is compounding.
1 of 4 years had negative operating cash flow — profitability on paper may not translate to cash. Cash conversion at 1.7× 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 rose 8% sequentially — momentum is building. Wide quarterly swings (38% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 32% above earlier ones.
Profit jumped 12% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly margins are compressing (26% → 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 38.4% — dispersed ownership; institutional flows drive the stock. Promoters reduced 12.4pp over 4 quarters — watch whether this is planned divestment or pledge invocations.
