Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A high-quality, steadily growing business, fully valued.
LT Foods is scored on the consumer / fmcg framework. It keeps a slim 5.7% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 1.46× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about 0.5% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 17%/yr and profit at 14%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 17%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a healthy 13.4%. In the latest quarter profit fell 2% versus the prior quarter.
At 23× earnings, the stock sits at the 73rd percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the middle of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~10%/yr earnings growth for a decade. The books come through clean — a forensic grade of A, and Altman puts distress risk in the safe zone.

Revenue has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. 16% CAGR over 3 years — steady double-digit compounder. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
Net profit has risen every year — the hallmark of a compounder.
Operating margins have been stable around 8% — no major structural shift.
ROE at 14% — a respectable return on shareholder capital. Low variance across years — a predictable business that earns steadily on its equity base.
EPS has grown every year — each share earns more than the last, consistently. 13% 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 1.5× 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. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 12% above earlier ones.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.6y median.
Promoter holding at 51.0% — majority control intact.
