Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A middling, fast-growing business, fully valued — but flagged on governance.
LORENZINI APPARELS LTD is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a slim 5.9% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash conversion lags the reported profit (CFO/PAT -3.22×) — worth a closer look. Free cash flow is worth about -4.9% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 19%/yr and profit at 20%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 50%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a modest 8.4%. In the latest quarter profit grew 149% versus the prior quarter.
At 46× earnings, the stock sits at the 76th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the expensive end of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~17%/yr earnings growth for a decade. The forensic screen raises a red flag: Only ₹-1.04 of cash per ₹1 profit over 4 years — earnings not converting to cash.

Revenue has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. 19% CAGR over 3 years — steady double-digit compounder. Growth is decelerating — latest year grew slower than the year before.
Profit is on a 2-year growth streak.
Operating margins have been stable around 8% — no major structural shift.
ROE at 8% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Capital efficiency declining — ROE down 8pp.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. Profit grew faster than EPS (20% vs -53%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. -53% EPS CAGR — this is the rate at which each share's claim on earnings is compounding.
2 of 4 years had negative operating cash flow — profitability on paper may not translate to cash.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue fell 20% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown.
Profit jumped 149% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly net margins are expanding (8% → 12%) — 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 56.2% — majority control intact.
