Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A decent, slow-growing business, trading cheap versus its own history.
Intellect Design Arena is scored on the it / services framework. It keeps a healthy 10.9% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 1.49× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about 3.3% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 12%/yr and profit at 9%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 16%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a modest 10.6%. In the latest quarter profit grew 2% versus the prior quarter.
At 21× 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 ~9%/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.

11% 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.
Operating margins have been stable around 15% — no major structural shift.
ROE at 11% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Low variance across years — a predictable business that earns steadily on its equity base.
EPS has grown every year — each share earns more than the last, consistently. 8% 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. 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.
Quarterly net margins are expanding (4% → 12%) — profitability per rupee of revenue is improving.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.6y median.
Promoters hold just 29.6% — widely held; sentiment-driven. FIIs trimmed 5.2pp — foreign money is rotating out.
