A middling, stagnant business, trading cheap versus its own history.
M K PROTEINS LIMITED is scored on the consumer / fmcg framework. It keeps a thin 1.8% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash broadly tracks reported profit (CFO/PAT 0.80×). Free cash flow is worth about 2.6% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 7%/yr and profit at -15%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 15%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a modest 8.9%. In the latest quarter profit grew 21% versus the prior quarter.
At 22× earnings, the stock sits at the 4th percentile of its own 3.6-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.

7% CAGR — growing but slowly. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
Revenue is outpacing profit (7% vs -15%) — costs are rising faster than the top line.
Operating margin has compressed from 5% to 2% — costs or competition are eating into profitability.
ROE at 9% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Capital efficiency declining — ROE down 13pp.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. -15% 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.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue fell 21% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Wide quarterly swings (78% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 114% above earlier ones.
Profit jumped 21% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.6y median.
Promoters hold 74.8% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game.
