Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A decent, slow-growing business, trading cheap versus its own history — but flagged on governance.
Jullundur Motor Agency is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a slim 4.8% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash conversion lags the reported profit (CFO/PAT 0.38×) — worth a closer look. Free cash flow is worth about 4.1% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 7%/yr and profit at 3%/yr. Book value has grown 10%/yr. Return on equity is a modest 10.8%. In the latest quarter profit fell 18% versus the prior quarter.
At 6× earnings, the stock sits at the 14th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price asks for only ~-9%/yr growth over a decade — undemanding expectations. The forensic screen raises a red flag: Only ₹0.22 of cash per ₹1 profit over 4 years — earnings not converting to cash.

Revenue has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. 7% CAGR — growing but slowly. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
Revenue is outpacing profit (7% vs 3%) — costs are rising faster than the top line.
Operating margins have been stable around 6% — no major structural shift. Margins have declined for 2 consecutive years — watch for a structural cost problem.
ROE at 11% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Low variance across years — a predictable business that earns steadily on its equity base.
3% 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 0.4× PAT — reported profit isn't translating into cash, raising earnings quality questions. 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 7% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown.
Profit fell 18% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.6y median.
Promoter holding at 51.0% — majority control intact.
