Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A high-quality, fast-growing business, trading cheap versus its own history.
K M Sugar Mills is scored on the commodity / cyclical framework. It keeps a slim 7.9% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 1.66× reported profit. It throws off free cash worth 13.7% of its market value — a strong free-cash yield.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 5%/yr and profit at 32%/yr. Book value has grown 13%/yr. Return on equity is a healthy 13.6%. In the latest quarter profit fell 15% versus the prior quarter.
At 6× earnings, the stock sits at the 16th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price asks for only ~-7%/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.

5% CAGR — growing but slowly.
Net profit has risen every year — the hallmark of a compounder. Profit is growing faster than revenue (32% vs 5%) — margin expansion is at work. The latest year saw a +50% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from 5% to 11% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 14% — a respectable return on shareholder capital. Capital efficiency improving — ROE up 5pp across the window.
EPS has grown every year — each share earns more than the last, consistently. 32% 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 1.7× 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 79% sequentially — momentum is building. Wide quarterly swings (44% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate fading — recent quarters 16% below earlier ones.
Profit fell 15% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.6y median.
Promoter holding at 56.5% — majority control intact.
