Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A decent, stagnant business, priced for perfection.
KPR Mill is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a healthy 12.8% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 1.28× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about 0.1% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 3%/yr and profit at 2%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 15%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a healthy 15.2%. In the latest quarter profit grew 14% versus the prior quarter.
At 46× earnings, the stock sits at the 89th percentile of its own 3.5-year range — the expensive end of where it has historically traded. Today's price already implies ~20%/yr earnings growth sustained for a decade — a demanding bar. The books come through clean — a forensic grade of A, and Altman puts distress risk in the safe zone.

3% CAGR — growing but slowly.
Operating margins have been stable around 17% — no major structural shift. Margins have declined for 2 consecutive years — watch for a structural cost problem.
ROE at 15% — a respectable return on shareholder capital. Capital efficiency declining — ROE down 7pp.
2% 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 1.3× 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 8% sequentially — momentum is building. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 20% above earlier ones.
Profit jumped 14% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.5y median.
Promoters hold 67.5% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game.
