Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A middling, stagnant business, reasonably priced — but flagged on governance.
Manaksia is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a slim 6.4% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash conversion lags the reported profit (CFO/PAT -0.20×) — worth a closer look. Free cash flow is worth about -24.9% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at -13%/yr and profit at -21%/yr. Net worth has actually shrunk (-13%/yr) — value is not being built. Return on equity is a weak 7.2%. In the latest quarter profit grew 113% versus the prior quarter.
At 7× 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 asks for only ~-8%/yr growth over a decade — undemanding expectations. The forensic screen raises 2 red flags: Only ₹-0.33 of cash per ₹1 profit over 4 years — earnings not converting to cash; 55% of pre-tax profit is other income, not operations.

Negative CAGR — the top line has shrunk over this window.
Revenue is outpacing profit (-13% vs -21%) — costs are rising faster than the top line.
Operating margin has compressed from 15% to 9% — costs or competition are eating into profitability. Interest or tax burden is shrinking — more of the operating profit is reaching the bottom line. Margins have declined for 3 consecutive years — watch for a structural cost problem.
ROE at 7% — 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. -21% 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.
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 19% above earlier ones.
Profit jumped 113% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly net margins are expanding (5% → 11%) — 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 74.9% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game.
