Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A middling, stagnant business, fully valued.
Jindal Steel & Power is scored on the commodity / cyclical framework. It keeps a slim 6.3% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 3.22× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about -1.3% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 1%/yr and profit at -5%/yr. Book value has grown 10%/yr. Return on equity is a weak 6.2%. In the latest quarter profit fell 9% versus the prior quarter.
At 35× earnings, the stock sits at the 77th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the expensive end of where it has historically traded. Today's price already implies ~19%/yr earnings growth sustained for a decade — a demanding bar. The books come through clean — a forensic grade of A, and Altman puts distress risk in the safe zone.

0% CAGR — growing but slowly. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
Revenue is outpacing profit (0% vs -5%) — costs are rising faster than the top line.
Operating margins have been stable around 8% — no major structural shift.
ROE at 6% — modest; the capital isn't working hard.
EPS outpaced profit growth — possible buybacks are concentrating earnings into fewer shares. 2% 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 3.2× PAT — earnings are well-backed by cash; strong accrual quality. Investing outflows exceed operating cash — the company relies on external funding to finance expansion.
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. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 9% above earlier ones.
Quarterly net margins are expanding (1% → 5%) — 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.
Promoter holding at 62.7% — majority control intact.
