Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A decent, steadily growing business, trading cheap versus its own history.
ORIENT ABRASIVES is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a slim 5.4% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 2.34× reported profit. It throws off free cash worth 9.4% of its market value — a strong free-cash yield.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 10%/yr and profit at 15%/yr. Book value has grown 5%/yr. Return on equity is a modest 10.1%. In the latest quarter profit grew 51% versus the prior quarter.
At 21× earnings, the stock sits at the 3rd percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~7%/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. 9% CAGR — growing but slowly. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
Profit is growing faster than revenue (15% vs 9%) — margin expansion is at work. The latest year saw a +120% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from 6% to 8% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 7% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Low variance across years — a predictable business that earns steadily on its equity base.
15% 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. Cash conversion at 2.3× 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 broadly flat QoQ — stable but not accelerating.
Profit jumped 51% 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.
Promoter holding at 63.9% — majority control intact.
