A weak, stagnant business, fully valued.
Laxmi Organic is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a thin 2.8% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 2.20× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about -5.0% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 1%/yr and profit at -14%/yr. Book value has grown 12%/yr. Return on equity is a modest 8.1%. In the latest quarter profit grew 214% versus the prior quarter.
At 57× earnings, the stock sits at the 64th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the middle of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~13%/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 is on a 2-year growth streak. 1% CAGR — growing but slowly. Growth is decelerating — latest year grew slower than the year before.
Revenue is outpacing profit (1% vs -14%) — costs are rising faster than the top line. The latest year saw a -30% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has compressed from 6% to 3% — costs or competition are eating into profitability. Margins have declined for 3 consecutive years — watch for a structural cost problem.
ROE at 4% — modest; the capital isn't working hard.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. -15% 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 2.2× PAT — earnings are well-backed by cash; strong accrual quality. 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 rose 32% sequentially — momentum is building. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 20% above earlier ones.
Profit jumped 214% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly net margins are expanding (2% → 7%) — 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 69.2% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game.
