Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A decent, steadily growing business, trading cheap versus its own history.
United Spirits is scored on the consumer / fmcg framework. It keeps a healthy 14.2% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash conversion lags the reported profit (CFO/PAT 0.79×) — worth a closer look. Free cash flow is worth about 1.0% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 7%/yr and profit at 18%/yr. Book value has grown 14%/yr. Return on equity is an elite 20.5%. In the latest quarter profit fell 14% versus the prior quarter.
At 56× earnings, the stock sits at the 15th percentile of its own 3.5-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price already implies ~23%/yr earnings growth sustained for a decade — a demanding bar. 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. 7% CAGR — growing but slowly. 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 (18% vs 7%) — margin expansion is at work.
Operating margin has expanded from 12% to 17% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 19% — 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. 17% 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. Financing outflows in consecutive years — balance-sheet discipline through debt repayment or dividends.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue fell 17% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Run-rate fading — recent quarters 12% below earlier ones.
Profit fell 14% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly net margins are expanding (14% → 17%) — profitability per rupee of revenue is improving.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.5y median.
Promoter holding at 56.7% — majority control intact. MF holding up 2.5pp — domestic institutional discovery underway.
