Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A high-quality, slow-growing business, trading cheap versus its own history.
Mastek is scored on the it / services framework. It keeps a healthy 10.7% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 1.34× reported profit. It throws off free cash worth 10.4% of its market value — a strong free-cash yield.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 13%/yr and profit at 9%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 19%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a healthy 13.4%. In the latest quarter profit fell 0% versus the prior quarter.
At 11× earnings, the stock sits at the 1st percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price asks for only ~0%/yr growth over a decade — undemanding expectations. The books come through clean — a forensic grade of A, and Altman puts distress risk in the safe zone.

Revenue has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. 13% CAGR over 3 years — steady double-digit compounder.
Revenue is outpacing profit (13% vs 9%) — costs are rising faster than the top line.
Operating margin has compressed from 16% to 14% — costs or competition are eating into profitability.
ROE at 14% — a respectable return on shareholder capital. Low variance across years — a predictable business that earns steadily on its equity base.
EPS has grown every year — each share earns more than the last, consistently. 10% 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 1.3× 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 broadly flat QoQ — stable but not accelerating.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.6y median.
Promoters at 35.8% — dispersed ownership; institutional flows drive the stock. FIIs trimmed 4.3pp — foreign money is rotating out. MF holding up 10.8pp — domestic institutional discovery underway.
