Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A decent, fast-growing business, priced for perfection — but flagged on governance.
KRISHANA PHOSCHEM LIMITED is scored on the commodity / cyclical framework. It keeps a slim 7.4% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash conversion lags the reported profit (CFO/PAT -1.06×) — worth a closer look. Free cash flow is worth about -4.1% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 96%/yr and profit at 89%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 29%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is an elite 32.1%. In the latest quarter profit fell 43% versus the prior quarter.
At 2× earnings, the stock sits at the 96th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the expensive end of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~18%/yr earnings growth for a decade. The forensic screen raises a red flag: Only ₹-0.46 of cash per ₹1 profit over 4 years — earnings not converting to cash.

Revenue has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. 96% CAGR over 3 years — high-growth territory. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
Net profit has risen every year — the hallmark of a compounder. Revenue is outpacing profit (96% vs 89%) — costs are rising faster than the top line. The latest year saw a +108% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has compressed from 12% to 10% — costs or competition are eating into profitability.
ROE at 32% — 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 22pp across the window.
Profit grew faster than EPS (89% vs 49%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. 49% EPS CAGR — this is the rate at which each share's claim on earnings is compounding.
3 of 4 years had negative operating cash flow — profitability on paper may not translate to cash. Investing outflows exceed operating cash — the company relies on external funding to finance expansion.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue fell 29% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown.
Profit fell 43% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly net margins are expanding (5% → 9%) — 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 hold 72.9% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game. FIIs have accumulated for 3 straight quarters — sustained foreign institutional conviction.
