Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A decent, fast-growing business, trading cheap versus its own history.
JSW DULUX LIMITED is scored on the consumer / fmcg framework. It keeps a fat 53.4% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash conversion lags the reported profit (CFO/PAT 0.05×) — worth a closer look. It throws off free cash worth 7.3% of its market value — a strong free-cash yield.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at -1%/yr and profit at 81%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 23%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a healthy 15.1%. In the latest quarter profit fell 37% versus the prior quarter.
At 0× 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 ~17%/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.

Revenue is on a 2-year growth streak. Negative CAGR — the top line has shrunk over this window. Growth is decelerating — latest year grew slower than the year before.
Net profit has risen every year — the hallmark of a compounder. Profit is growing faster than revenue (81% vs -1%) — margin expansion is at work. The latest year saw a +360% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from 12% to 64% — 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 81% — the business earns well above its cost of equity. ROE powered by fat margins — the hallmark of a high-quality franchise with pricing power. Capital efficiency improving — ROE up 55pp across the window.
EPS has grown every year — each share earns more than the last, consistently. 81% 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 0.0× 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 broadly flat QoQ — stable but not accelerating. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 11% above earlier ones.
Profit fell 37% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly margins are compressing (200% → 8%) — 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.
Promoter holding at 61.2% — majority control intact.
