A decent, steadily growing business, trading cheap versus its own history — but flagged on governance.
SAI SILKS (KALAMANDIR) L is scored on the consumer / fmcg framework. It keeps a slim 8.4% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 2.29× reported profit. It throws off free cash worth 12.4% of its market value — a strong free-cash yield.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 7%/yr and profit at 13%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 47%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a modest 9.9%. In the latest quarter profit fell 21% versus the prior quarter.
At 9× earnings, the stock sits at the 9th percentile of its own 3.1-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 forensic screen raises a red flag: Share count up 22% over 4 years — heavy equity dilution.

Revenue has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. 7% CAGR — growing but slowly. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
Profit is growing faster than revenue (13% vs 7%) — margin expansion is at work. The latest year saw a +65% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from 10% to 11% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 11% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Capital efficiency declining — ROE down 13pp.
Profit grew faster than EPS (13% vs 6%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. 6% EPS CAGR — this is the rate at which each share's claim on earnings is compounding.
1 of 4 years had negative operating cash flow — profitability on paper may not translate to cash. Cash conversion at 2.3× 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.
Profit fell 21% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly margins are compressing (9% → 7%) — 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 3.1y median.
Promoter holding at 61.0% — majority control intact. MF stake down 3.0pp — domestic funds are booking profits or rebalancing out.
