Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A high-quality, slow-growing business, trading cheap versus its own history.
NCC Limited is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a thin 3.5% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash conversion lags the reported profit (CFO/PAT -0.63×) — worth a closer look. Free cash flow is worth about -15.9% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 10%/yr and profit at 4%/yr. Book value has grown 7%/yr. Return on equity is a modest 9.0%. In the latest quarter profit grew 6% versus the prior quarter.
At 11× earnings, the stock sits at the 7th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price asks for only ~-1%/yr growth over a decade — undemanding expectations. The books come through clean — a forensic grade of A, and Altman puts distress risk in the safe zone.

Revenue is on a 2-year growth streak. 10% CAGR over 3 years — steady double-digit compounder. Growth is decelerating — latest year grew slower than the year before.
Profit is on a 2-year growth streak. Revenue is outpacing profit (10% vs 4%) — costs are rising faster than the top line.
Operating margins have been stable around 5% — 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. 3% EPS CAGR — this is the rate at which each share's claim on earnings is compounding.
1 of 4 years had negative operating cash flow — profitability on paper may not translate to cash. Investing outflows exceed operating cash — the company relies on external funding to finance expansion.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue fell 7% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 27% above earlier ones.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.6y median.
Promoters hold just 23.2% — widely held; sentiment-driven.
