A high-quality, fast-growing business, trading cheap versus its own history.
Jindal Drilling Industries is scored on the commodity / cyclical framework. It keeps a fat 20.2% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash broadly tracks reported profit (CFO/PAT 0.85×). Free cash flow is worth about 4.7% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 23%/yr and profit at 30%/yr. Book value has grown 12%/yr. Return on equity is a modest 11.6%. In the latest quarter profit grew 4% versus the prior quarter.
At 7× earnings, the stock sits at the 8th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price asks for only ~-4%/yr growth over a decade — undemanding expectations. 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. 23% CAGR over 3 years — high-growth territory. Growth is decelerating — latest year grew slower than the year before.
Profit is growing faster than revenue (30% vs 23%) — margin expansion is at work.
Operating margin has expanded from 24% to 26% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 12% — modest; the capital isn't working hard.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. 30% 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. Heavy investing spend every year, but operations generate enough to cover it — the business self-funds its growth. 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 broadly flat QoQ — stable but not accelerating. Wide quarterly swings (54% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 9% above earlier ones.
1 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Quarterly margins are compressing (38% → 17%) — 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 hold 66.8% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game.
