Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A decent, stagnant business, fairly priced.
Minda Corp is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a slim 4.5% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 2.44× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about 1.7% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 13%/yr and profit at -2%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 19%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a healthy 15.5%. In the latest quarter profit grew 104% versus the prior quarter.
At 47× earnings, the stock sits at the 54th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the middle 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. 13% CAGR over 3 years — steady double-digit compounder. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
Revenue is outpacing profit (13% vs -2%) — costs are rising faster than the top line.
Operating margins have been stable around 6% — no major structural shift.
ROE at 10% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Capital efficiency declining — ROE down 8pp.
EPS outpaced profit growth — possible buybacks are concentrating earnings into fewer shares. 8% 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 2.4× PAT — earnings are well-backed by cash; strong accrual quality.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue rose 8% sequentially — momentum is building. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 15% above earlier ones.
Profit jumped 104% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly net margins are expanding (4% → 10%) — 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.
Promoter holding at 64.8% — majority control intact.
