Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A middling, stagnant business, fairly priced — but flagged on governance.
Man Infra is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a fat 26.6% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash conversion lags the reported profit (CFO/PAT -0.24×) — worth a closer look. Free cash flow is worth about -8.4% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at -26%/yr and profit at -10%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 26%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a modest 9.8%. In the latest quarter profit grew 4% versus the prior quarter.
At 22× earnings, the stock sits at the 49th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the middle of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~9%/yr earnings growth for a decade. The forensic screen raises a red flag: 57% of pre-tax profit is other income, not operations.

Revenue declined 36% in the latest year — a break from prior trajectory. Negative CAGR — the top line has shrunk over this window. Growth is decelerating — latest year grew slower than the year before.
Profit is on a 2-year growth streak. Profit is growing faster than revenue (-10% vs -26%) — margin expansion is at work. The latest year saw a -33% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from 20% to 36% — 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 9% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Capital efficiency declining — ROE down 16pp.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. -10% 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 20% sequentially — momentum is building. Wide quarterly swings (34% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 37% above earlier ones.
Quarterly margins are compressing (27% → 23%) — 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 3.6y median.
Promoter holding at 62.5% — majority control intact. FIIs trimmed 2.1pp — foreign money is rotating out. MF stake down 2.0pp — domestic funds are booking profits or rebalancing out.
