Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A decent, fast-growing business, trading cheap versus its own history.
NBCC is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a slim 5.6% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash conversion lags the reported profit (CFO/PAT 0.59×) — worth a closer look. Free cash flow is worth about 3.3% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 13%/yr and profit at 39%/yr. Book value has grown 15%/yr. Return on equity is an elite 24.8%. In the latest quarter profit fell 38% versus the prior quarter.
At 29× earnings, the stock sits at the 19th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~12%/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 decelerating — latest year grew slower than the year before.
Net profit has risen every year — the hallmark of a compounder. Profit is growing faster than revenue (39% vs 13%) — margin expansion is at work. The latest year saw a +33% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from 4% to 8% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 23% — the business earns well above its cost of equity. High ROE despite single-digit margins — an asset-turn play with high capital velocity. Capital efficiency improving — ROE up 10pp across the window.
EPS has grown every year — each share earns more than the last, consistently. Profit grew faster than EPS (39% vs 22%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. 22% 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. 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 fell 50% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Wide quarterly swings (50% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 14% above earlier ones.
Profit fell 38% 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.
Promoter holding at 61.8% — majority control intact. MF stake down 2.1pp — domestic funds are booking profits or rebalancing out.
