A middling business, reasonably priced.
MADHAV COPPER is scored on the commodity / cyclical framework. It keeps a thin 1.9% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 1.39× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about 4.2% of its market value.
Book value has grown 8%/yr. Return on equity is a modest 8.9%. In the latest quarter profit fell 64% versus the prior quarter.
At 31× earnings, the stock sits at the 23rd percentile of its own 2.6-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~15%/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.

Revenue has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. 939% CAGR over 3 years — high-growth territory. Growth is decelerating — latest year grew slower than the year before.
1 of the 4 years shown had a loss — profitability is inconsistent.
Operating margins have been stable around 3% — no major structural shift.
ROE at 9% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Capital efficiency improving — ROE up 20pp across the window.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. 91% 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. Cash conversion at 1.4× PAT — earnings are well-backed by cash; strong accrual quality. 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 5% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Wide quarterly swings (39% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 59% above earlier ones.
1 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit fell 64% 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 2.6y median.
Promoter holding at 63.1% — majority control intact. Promoters reduced 2.1pp over 4 quarters — watch whether this is planned divestment or pledge invocations.
