A decent business, trading cheap versus its own history — but flagged on governance.
Mahindra EPC Irrig is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a slim 4.0% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash conversion lags the reported profit (CFO/PAT -1.28×) — worth a closer look. Free cash flow is worth about -6.7% of its market value.
Book value has grown 4%/yr. Return on equity is a weak 7.0%.
At 22× earnings, the stock sits at the 4th percentile of its own 2.6-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~12%/yr earnings growth for a decade. The forensic screen raises a red flag: Only ₹-0.01 of cash per ₹1 profit over 4 years — earnings not converting to cash.

Revenue has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. 14% CAGR over 3 years — steady double-digit compounder. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
1 of the 4 years shown had a loss — profitability is inconsistent. The latest year saw a +76% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from -8% to 5% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned. The gap between operating and net margin is widening — interest or tax costs are rising.
ROE at 7% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Capital efficiency improving — ROE up 14pp across the window.
EPS has grown every year — each share earns more than the last, consistently. 175% 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. 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 34% sequentially — momentum is building. Wide quarterly swings (50% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate fading — recent quarters 37% below earlier ones.
1 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit jumped 204% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly margins are compressing (7% → 3%) — more revenue isn't translating to proportionally more profit.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 2.6y median.
Promoter holding at 54.2% — majority control intact.
