Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A high-quality, stagnant business, fully valued.
Oil India is scored on the commodity / cyclical framework. It keeps a fat 21.1% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 1.41× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about 0.4% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at -1%/yr and profit at -9%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 15%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a modest 11.4%. In the latest quarter profit grew 66% versus the prior quarter.
At 11× 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 asks for only ~-5%/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.

Negative CAGR — the top line has shrunk over this window.
Revenue is outpacing profit (-1% vs -8%) — costs are rising faster than the top line.
Operating margin has compressed from 36% to 27% — costs or competition are eating into profitability. Interest or tax burden is shrinking — more of the operating profit is reaching the bottom line.
ROE at 12% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Capital efficiency declining — ROE down 12pp.
Profit grew faster than EPS (-8% vs -20%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. -20% 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 1.4× PAT — earnings are well-backed by cash; strong accrual quality. Heavy investing spend every year, but operations generate enough to cover it — the business self-funds its growth.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue rose 31% sequentially — momentum is building. Wide quarterly swings (31% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 27% above earlier ones.
Profit jumped 66% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly net margins are expanding (18% → 31%) — profitability per rupee of revenue is improving.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.6y median.
Promoter holding at 56.7% — majority control intact.
