Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A weak business, priced for perfection — but flagged on governance.
KAMDHENU VENTURES LIMITED is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a thin 0.1% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 54.60× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about 1.4% of its market value.
Book value itself has compounded 31%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a weak -4.4%.
At 410× earnings, the stock sits at the 89th percentile of its own 2.4-year range — the expensive end of where it has historically traded. The forensic screen raises 2 red flags: Only ₹-0.36 of cash per ₹1 profit over 4 years — earnings not converting to cash; 169% of pre-tax profit is other income, not operations.

Revenue declined 8% in the latest year — a break from prior trajectory. Negative CAGR — the top line has shrunk over this window.
1 of the 4 years shown had a loss — profitability is inconsistent. The latest year saw a -97% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from -4% to 0% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 0% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Capital efficiency improving — ROE up 14pp across the window.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. Profit grew faster than EPS (-88% vs -93%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. -93% 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 54.6× 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 25% sequentially — momentum is building. Wide quarterly swings (39% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate fading — recent quarters 25% below earlier ones.
3 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit jumped 65% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly margins are compressing (2% → -3%) — 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 2.4y median.
Promoter holding at 52.5% — majority control intact. Promoters added 2.2pp over 4 quarters — creeping acquisition signals conviction.
