A decent business, reasonably priced.
PATANJALI FOODS LIMITED is scored on the consumer / fmcg framework. It keeps a slim 4.5% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash conversion lags the reported profit (CFO/PAT -0.18×) — worth a closer look. Free cash flow is worth about -2.6% of its market value.
Return on equity is a healthy 15.4%. In the latest quarter profit fell 36% versus the prior quarter.
At 25× earnings, the stock sits at the 20th percentile of its own 1.6-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~11%/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 2 financial years shown. 19% CAGR over 1 years — steady double-digit compounder.
Net profit has risen every year — the hallmark of a compounder. Profit is growing faster than revenue (39% vs 19%) — margin expansion is at work. The latest year saw a +39% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has compressed from 5% to 3% — 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 14% — a respectable return on shareholder capital.
39% EPS CAGR — this is the rate at which each share's claim on earnings is compounding.
1 of 2 years had negative operating cash flow — profitability on paper may not translate to cash. Investing outflows exceed operating cash — the company relies on external funding to finance expansion.
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. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 11% above earlier ones.
Profit fell 36% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly margins are compressing (5% → 3%) — 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 1.6y median.
Promoters hold 68.3% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game. FIIs trimmed 3.6pp — foreign money is rotating out.
