Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A weak, stagnant business, fairly priced — but flagged on governance.
Mahindra Holidays is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a thin 2.1% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 7.92× reported profit. It throws off free cash worth 8.0% of its market value — a strong free-cash yield.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 6%/yr and profit at -16%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 25%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a weak 6.2%.
At 57× earnings, the stock sits at the 43rd percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the middle of where it has historically traded. Today's price already implies ~27%/yr earnings growth sustained for a decade — a demanding bar. The forensic screen raises a red flag: 90% of pre-tax profit is other income, not operations.

Revenue has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. 6% CAGR — growing but slowly.
Profit is on a 2-year growth streak. Revenue is outpacing profit (6% vs -16%) — costs are rising faster than the top line. The latest year saw a -47% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has compressed from 7% to 4% — costs or competition are eating into profitability.
ROE at 9% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Capital efficiency declining — ROE down 20pp.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. -16% 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 7.9× 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 rose 6% sequentially — momentum is building. Low quarterly variance (8% spread) — a predictable, non-seasonal revenue stream.
1 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit jumped 330% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly net margins are expanding (0% → 2%) — profitability per rupee of revenue is improving.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.6y median.
Promoters hold 66.7% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game. FIIs trimmed 2.1pp — foreign money is rotating out.
