Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A decent, stagnant business, reasonably priced.
Manak Aluminium is scored on the commodity / cyclical framework. It keeps a thin 1.3% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 5.26× reported profit. It throws off free cash worth 11.1% of its market value — a strong free-cash yield.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 5%/yr and profit at -5%/yr. Book value has grown 4%/yr. Return on equity is a weak 5.3%. In the latest quarter profit fell 12% versus the prior quarter.
At 27× earnings, the stock sits at the 32nd 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.

5% CAGR — growing but slowly. Growth is decelerating — latest year grew slower than the year before.
Revenue is outpacing profit (5% vs -5%) — costs are rising faster than the top line.
Operating margins have been stable around 2% — no major structural shift.
ROE at 5% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Low variance across years — a predictable business that earns steadily on its equity base.
-5% 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 5.3× 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 fell 10% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown.
Profit fell 12% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.6y median.
Promoters hold 74.9% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game.
