Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A middling, fast-growing business, fully valued.
Parag Milk Foods is scored on the consumer / fmcg framework. It keeps a thin 3.5% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 1.11× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about 1.3% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 10%/yr and profit at 36%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 16%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a modest 9.6%. In the latest quarter profit fell 32% versus the prior quarter.
At 30× earnings, the stock sits at the 75th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the expensive end of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~16%/yr earnings growth for a decade. The books come through clean — a forensic grade of B, and Altman puts distress risk in the safe zone.

Revenue has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. 10% CAGR — growing but slowly.
Net profit has risen every year — the hallmark of a compounder. Profit is growing faster than revenue (36% vs 10%) — margin expansion is at work.
Operating margin has expanded from 2% to 4% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 11% — modest; the capital isn't working hard.
EPS has grown every year — each share earns more than the last, consistently. Profit grew faster than EPS (36% vs 30%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. 30% 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. Heavy investing spend every year, but operations generate enough to cover it — the business self-funds its growth. 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. Low quarterly variance (8% spread) — a predictable, non-seasonal revenue stream.
Profit fell 32% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly margins are compressing (4% → 2%) — 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 40.5% — dispersed ownership; institutional flows drive the stock.
