Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A decent, fast-growing business, priced for perfection.
Samvardhana Motherson Intl is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a thin 3.2% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 2.76× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about 3.0% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 17%/yr and profit at 35%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 21%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a modest 10.4%. In the latest quarter profit fell 31% versus the prior quarter.
At 43× earnings, the stock sits at the 95th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the expensive end of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~16%/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. 17% CAGR over 3 years — steady double-digit compounder.
Profit is on a 2-year growth streak. Profit is growing faster than revenue (35% vs 17%) — margin expansion is at work.
Operating margins have been stable around 4% — no major structural shift.
ROE at 9% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Low variance across years — a predictable business that earns steadily on its equity base.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. Profit grew faster than EPS (35% vs 18%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. 18% 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 2.8× 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 broadly flat QoQ — stable but not accelerating. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 13% above earlier ones.
Profit fell 31% 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 3.6y median.
Promoters at 48.6% — dispersed ownership; institutional flows drive the stock. FIIs have accumulated for 3 straight quarters — sustained foreign institutional conviction.
