Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A middling, fast-growing business, fairly priced.
Jaiprakash Power Ventures is scored on the commodity / cyclical framework. It keeps a slim 7.8% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 2.89× reported profit. It throws off free cash worth 6.6% of its market value — a strong free-cash yield.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at -1%/yr and profit at 101%/yr. Book value has grown 7%/yr. Return on equity is a modest 9.1%. In the latest quarter profit fell 93% versus the prior quarter.
At 28× earnings, the stock sits at the 57th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the middle of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~8%/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.
Profit is growing faster than revenue (101% vs -1%) — margin expansion is at work. The latest year saw a -45% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from 4% to 13% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned. The gap between operating and net margin is widening — interest or tax costs are rising.
ROE at 4% — 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. EPS outpaced profit growth — possible buybacks are concentrating earnings into fewer shares. 114% 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 2.9× PAT — earnings are well-backed by cash; strong accrual quality. 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 10% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Wide quarterly swings (31% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 24% above earlier ones.
1 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit fell 93% 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.
Promoters hold just 24.0% — widely held; sentiment-driven. FIIs have accumulated for 3 straight quarters — sustained foreign institutional conviction.
