Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A decent, stagnant business, fully valued.
KRBL is scored on the consumer / fmcg framework. It keeps a healthy 10.5% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 1.44× reported profit. It throws off free cash worth 6.8% of its market value — a strong free-cash yield.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 4%/yr and profit at -3%/yr. Book value has grown 7%/yr. Return on equity is a healthy 13.6%. In the latest quarter profit grew 68% versus the prior quarter.
At 14× earnings, the stock sits at the 72nd percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the middle of where it has historically traded. Today's price asks for only ~1%/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.

4% CAGR — growing but slowly. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
Revenue is outpacing profit (4% vs -3%) — costs are rising faster than the top line. The latest year saw a +36% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has compressed from 17% to 14% — costs or competition are eating into profitability. Margins have declined for 2 consecutive years — watch for a structural cost problem.
ROE at 11% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Low variance across years — a predictable business that earns steadily on its equity base.
-2% 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 1.4× PAT — earnings are well-backed by cash; strong accrual quality. Financing outflows in consecutive years — balance-sheet discipline through debt repayment or dividends.
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.
Profit jumped 68% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly net margins are expanding (11% → 17%) — 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.
Promoter holding at 60.2% — majority control intact.
