Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A middling, fast-growing business, fairly priced — but flagged on governance.
Man Coat Metal is scored on the commodity / cyclical framework. It keeps a slim 4.5% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash conversion lags the reported profit (CFO/PAT -0.34×) — worth a closer look. Free cash flow is worth about -1.8% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 11%/yr and profit at 63%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 43%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a modest 11.8%. In the latest quarter profit grew 33% versus the prior quarter.
At 36× earnings, the stock sits at the 51st percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the middle of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~17%/yr earnings growth for a decade. The forensic screen raises a red flag: Share count up 41% over 4 years — heavy equity dilution.

Revenue has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. 11% 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. Profit is growing faster than revenue (63% vs 11%) — margin expansion is at work. The latest year saw a +164% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from 2% to 6% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 12% — modest; the capital isn't working hard.
EPS has grown every year — each share earns more than the last, consistently. Profit grew faster than EPS (63% vs 46%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. 46% EPS CAGR — this is the rate at which each share's claim on earnings is compounding.
1 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 22% sequentially — momentum is building. Wide quarterly swings (41% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 40% above earlier ones.
Profit jumped 33% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.6y median.
Promoter holding at 57.8% — majority control intact.
