Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A decent, fast-growing business, trading cheap versus its own history.
JSW Steel is scored on the commodity / cyclical framework. It keeps a healthy 13.7% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash broadly tracks reported profit (CFO/PAT 0.99×). It throws off free cash worth 13.2% of its market value — a strong free-cash yield.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 4%/yr and profit at 83%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 16%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a modest 11.9%. In the latest quarter profit grew 14% versus the prior quarter.
At 15× earnings, the stock sits at the 17th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price asks for only ~0%/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.

4% CAGR — growing but slowly. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
Profit is growing faster than revenue (83% vs 4%) — margin expansion is at work. The latest year saw a +631% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from 3% to 16% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 24% — the business earns well above its cost of equity. Capital efficiency improving — ROE up 18pp across the window.
Profit grew faster than EPS (83% vs 74%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. 74% 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. 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 rose 14% sequentially — momentum is building.
Profit jumped 14% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly net margins are expanding (5% → 10%) — 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 at 44.3% — dispersed ownership; institutional flows drive the stock. Promoters reduced 1.0pp over 4 quarters — watch whether this is planned divestment or pledge invocations.
