Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A middling, fast-growing business, trading cheap versus its own history — but flagged on governance.
JSW Energy is scored on the commodity / cyclical framework. It keeps a healthy 13.9% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 3.58× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about -10.8% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 22%/yr and profit at 23%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 22%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a weak 6.3%. In the latest quarter profit grew 114% versus the prior quarter.
At 41× earnings, the stock sits at the 18th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~16%/yr earnings growth for a decade. The forensic screen raises a red flag: Share count up 31% over 4 years — heavy equity dilution.

Revenue has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. 22% CAGR over 3 years — high-growth territory. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
Net profit has risen every year — the hallmark of a compounder. The latest year saw a +39% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has compressed from 18% to 10% — costs or competition are eating into profitability. Interest or tax burden is shrinking — more of the operating profit is reaching the bottom line.
ROE at 8% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Low variance across years — a predictable business that earns steadily on its equity base.
EPS has grown every year — each share earns more than the last, consistently. Profit grew faster than EPS (23% vs 12%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. 12% 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 3.6× 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 22% sequentially — momentum is building. Wide quarterly swings (36% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 33% above earlier ones.
Profit jumped 114% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly net margins are expanding (12% → 17%) — 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.
Promoters hold 66.5% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game. Promoters reduced 2.9pp over 4 quarters — watch whether this is planned divestment or pledge invocations. MF holding up 2.2pp — domestic institutional discovery underway.
