Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A middling, fast-growing business, trading cheap versus its own history.
Mangalam Cement is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a slim 7.2% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash conversion lags the reported profit (CFO/PAT 0.73×) — worth a closer look. Free cash flow is worth about -8.1% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at -1%/yr and profit at 96%/yr. Book value has grown 9%/yr. Return on equity is a modest 11.7%. In the latest quarter profit fell 72% versus the prior quarter.
At 19× earnings, the stock sits at the 6th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~12%/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.

Negative CAGR — the top line has shrunk over this window.
Profit is growing faster than revenue (96% vs -1%) — margin expansion is at work. The latest year saw a +186% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from 2% to 5% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned. Interest or tax burden is shrinking — more of the operating profit is reaching the bottom line.
ROE at 13% — a respectable return on shareholder capital. Capital efficiency improving — ROE up 11pp across the window.
96% 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. Investing outflows exceed operating cash — the company relies on external funding to finance expansion. Raising capital despite positive cash flow — could signal expansion plans or opportunistic fundraising.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue fell 8% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 17% above earlier ones.
Profit fell 72% 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 at 40.0% — dispersed ownership; institutional flows drive the stock.
