Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A high-quality, steadily growing business, trading cheap versus its own history.
Kajaria Ceramics is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a slim 10.0% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 1.36× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about 1.8% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 3%/yr and profit at 12%/yr. Book value has grown 9%/yr. Return on equity is an elite 20.1%. In the latest quarter profit grew 12% versus the prior quarter.
At 39× earnings, the stock sits at the 12th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~15%/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 has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. 3% CAGR — growing but slowly.
Profit is growing faster than revenue (12% vs 3%) — margin expansion is at work. The latest year saw a +62% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from 10% to 14% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 16% — a respectable return on shareholder capital. Low variance across years — a predictable business that earns steadily on its equity base.
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 1.4× PAT — earnings are well-backed by cash; strong accrual quality. Heavy investing spend every year, but operations generate enough to cover it — the business self-funds its growth.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue rose 10% sequentially — momentum is building. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 10% above earlier ones.
Profit jumped 12% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly net margins are expanding (7% → 13%) — 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 46.7% — dispersed ownership; institutional flows drive the stock.
