Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A high-quality, steadily growing business, reasonably priced.
NESCO is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a fat 40.0% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash broadly tracks reported profit (CFO/PAT 0.94×). Free cash flow is worth about -3.0% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 19%/yr and profit at 12%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 15%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a healthy 12.8%. In the latest quarter profit grew 7% versus the prior quarter.
At 18× earnings, the stock sits at the 34th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the middle of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~8%/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. 19% CAGR over 3 years — steady double-digit compounder. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
Net profit has risen every year — the hallmark of a compounder. Revenue is outpacing profit (19% vs 12%) — costs are rising faster than the top line.
Operating margin has compressed from 60% to 50% — costs or competition are eating into profitability. Interest or tax burden is shrinking — more of the operating profit is reaching the bottom line. Margins have declined for 3 consecutive years — watch for a structural cost problem.
ROE at 14% — a respectable return on shareholder capital. Low variance across years — a predictable business that earns steadily on its equity base.
EPS has grown every year — each share earns more than the last, consistently. 12% 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. Investing outflows exceed operating cash — the company relies on external funding to finance expansion. Raising capital despite positive cash flow — could signal expansion plans or opportunistic fundraising.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue fell 6% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Low quarterly variance (7% spread) — a predictable, non-seasonal revenue stream.
Quarterly margins are compressing (45% → 39%) — more revenue isn't translating to proportionally more profit.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.6y median.
Promoters hold 68.5% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game.
