Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A decent, steadily growing business, fully valued.
NRB Bearing is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a healthy 10.6% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 1.65× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about 2.9% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 8%/yr and profit at 15%/yr. Book value has grown 13%/yr. Return on equity is a healthy 14.0%. In the latest quarter profit fell 10% versus the prior quarter.
At 29× earnings, the stock sits at the 63rd percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the middle of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~14%/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. 8% CAGR — growing but slowly.
Profit is growing faster than revenue (15% vs 8%) — margin expansion is at work. The latest year saw a +77% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from 12% to 14% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 15% — a respectable return on shareholder capital.
15% 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 1.7× PAT — earnings are well-backed by cash; strong accrual quality. 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 broadly flat QoQ — stable but not accelerating. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 12% above earlier ones.
Profit fell 10% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly margins are compressing (12% → 10%) — 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 at 43.9% — dispersed ownership; institutional flows drive the stock. Promoters reduced 7.3pp over 4 quarters — watch whether this is planned divestment or pledge invocations. FII stake up 4.5pp over 4 quarters — growing foreign interest.
