A decent, fast-growing business, trading cheap versus its own history — but flagged on governance.
Navneet Education is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a fat 21.1% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash conversion lags the reported profit (CFO/PAT 0.74×) — worth a closer look. It throws off free cash worth 13.6% of its market value — a strong free-cash yield.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 1%/yr and profit at 22%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 25%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a weak 5.4%. In the latest quarter profit grew 262% versus the prior quarter.
At 4× earnings, the stock sits at the 5th percentile of its own 4.6-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price asks for only ~-4%/yr growth over a decade — undemanding expectations. The forensic screen raises a red flag: Only ₹0.27 of cash per ₹1 profit over 4 years — earnings not converting to cash.

Revenue is on a 2-year growth streak. 1% CAGR — growing but slowly. Growth is decelerating — latest year grew slower than the year before.
Profit is on a 2-year growth streak. Profit is growing faster than revenue (22% vs 1%) — margin expansion is at work. The latest year saw a -54% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from 17% to 26% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 43% — the business earns well above its cost of equity. ROE powered by fat margins — the hallmark of a high-quality franchise with pricing power. Capital efficiency improving — ROE up 25pp across the window.
EPS has grown every year — each share earns more than the last, consistently. EPS outpaced profit growth — possible buybacks are concentrating earnings into fewer shares. 94% EPS CAGR — this is the rate at which each share's claim on earnings is compounding.
1 of 3 years had negative operating cash flow — profitability on paper may not translate to cash. 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 rose 82% sequentially — momentum is building. Wide quarterly swings (68% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 142% above earlier ones.
1 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit jumped 262% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly net margins are expanding (-6% → 18%) — profitability per rupee of revenue is improving.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 4.6y median.
Promoter holding at 63.3% — majority control intact.
