Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A decent, steadily growing business, trading cheap versus its own history.
Page Industries is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a healthy 14.4% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash broadly tracks reported profit (CFO/PAT 1.04×). Free cash flow is worth about 2.0% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 4%/yr and profit at 10%/yr. Book value has grown 3%/yr. Return on equity is an elite 50.8%. In the latest quarter profit grew 8% versus the prior quarter.
At 52× earnings, the stock sits at the 9th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price already implies ~22%/yr earnings growth sustained for a decade — a demanding bar. The books come through clean — a forensic grade of A, and Altman puts distress risk in the safe zone.

4% CAGR — growing but slowly.
Profit is growing faster than revenue (10% vs 4%) — margin expansion is at work.
Operating margin has expanded from 16% to 19% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 51% — the business earns well above its cost of equity. Capital efficiency improving — ROE up 9pp across the window.
10% 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. 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 13% sequentially — momentum is building.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.6y median.
Promoters at 42.9% — dispersed ownership; institutional flows drive the stock.
