Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A middling, fast-growing business, priced for perfection — but flagged on governance.
ORICON ENTERPRISES is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a fat 21.6% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash conversion lags the reported profit (CFO/PAT -0.09×) — worth a closer look. Free cash flow is worth about 1.6% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at -11%/yr and profit at 20%/yr. Book value has grown 4%/yr. Return on equity is a weak 1.6%.
At 34× earnings, the stock sits at the 80th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the expensive end of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~13%/yr earnings growth for a decade. The forensic screen raises 2 red flags: Only ₹0.23 of cash per ₹1 profit over 4 years — earnings not converting to cash; 270% of pre-tax profit is other income, not operations.

Negative CAGR — the top line has shrunk over this window. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
Profit is on a 2-year growth streak. Profit is growing faster than revenue (20% vs -11%) — margin expansion is at work. The latest year saw a -82% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from -17% to 24% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned. The gap between operating and net margin is widening — interest or tax costs are rising.
ROE at 2% — 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. 20% 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 rose 91% sequentially — momentum is building. Wide quarterly swings (48% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue.
1 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit jumped 470% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.6y median.
Promoters hold 65.7% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game.
