Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A middling, stagnant business, fully valued.
Landmark Cars is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a thin 0.8% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 7.02× reported profit. It throws off free cash worth 10.6% of its market value — a strong free-cash yield.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 13%/yr and profit at -24%/yr. Book value has grown 7%/yr. Return on equity is a weak 6.4%. In the latest quarter profit fell 3% versus the prior quarter.
At 52× earnings, the stock sits at the 61st percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the middle of where it has historically traded. Today's price already implies ~19%/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.

13% CAGR over 3 years — steady double-digit compounder.
Revenue is outpacing profit (13% vs -24%) — costs are rising faster than the top line. The latest year saw a +120% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has compressed from 3% to 1% — costs or competition are eating into profitability. Margins have declined for 2 consecutive years — watch for a structural cost problem.
ROE at 7% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Capital efficiency declining — ROE down 12pp.
Profit grew faster than EPS (-24% vs -26%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. -26% 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 7.0× 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 (10% 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 49.9% — dispersed ownership; institutional flows drive the stock. FIIs trimmed 7.6pp — foreign money is rotating out. MF holding up 4.9pp — domestic institutional discovery underway.
