Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A decent, steadily growing business, trading cheap versus its own history.
KPIT is scored on the it / services framework. It keeps a slim 9.7% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 1.87× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about 0.1% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 24%/yr and profit at 18%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 29%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a healthy 14.5%. In the latest quarter profit grew 4% versus the prior quarter.
At 23× earnings, the stock sits at the 6th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~13%/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. 24% CAGR over 3 years — high-growth territory. Growth is decelerating — latest year grew slower than the year before.
Profit is on a 2-year growth streak. Revenue is outpacing profit (24% vs 18%) — costs are rising faster than the top line.
Operating margins have been stable around 13% — no major structural shift.
ROE at 18% — a respectable return on shareholder capital. Capital efficiency declining — ROE down 5pp.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. 18% 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 1.9× 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 broadly flat QoQ — stable but not accelerating. Low quarterly variance (4% spread) — a predictable, non-seasonal revenue stream.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.6y median.
Promoters at 38.6% — dispersed ownership; institutional flows drive the stock. FIIs trimmed 4.5pp — foreign money is rotating out.
