Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A high-quality business, trading cheap versus its own history.
Kiri Industries is scored on the general / industrial framework. Cash broadly tracks reported profit (CFO/PAT 0.85×). It throws off free cash worth 46.1% of its market value — a strong free-cash yield.
Book value itself has compounded 34%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a modest 11.2%. In the latest quarter profit fell 46% versus the prior quarter.
At 1× earnings, the stock sits at the 13th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. The books come through clean — a forensic grade of A, and Altman puts distress risk in the safe zone.

2% CAGR — growing but slowly.
3 of the 4 years shown had a loss — profitability is inconsistent. The latest year saw a +5061% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has compressed from -9% to -13% — costs or competition are eating into profitability. Margins have declined for 2 consecutive years — watch for a structural cost problem.
ROE at 86% — the business earns well above its cost of equity. High ROE despite single-digit margins — an asset-turn play with high capital velocity. Capital efficiency improving — ROE up 82pp across the window.
EPS has grown every year — each share earns more than the last, consistently. 257% EPS CAGR — this is the rate at which each share's claim on earnings is compounding.
2 of 4 years had negative operating cash flow — profitability on paper may not translate to cash.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue rose 107% sequentially — momentum is building. Wide quarterly swings (64% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 81% above earlier ones.
1 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit fell 46% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly net margins are expanding (-37% → 45%) — 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 41.7% — dispersed ownership; institutional flows drive the stock. Promoters added 5.0pp over 4 quarters — creeping acquisition signals conviction.
