Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A high-quality, slow-growing business, trading cheap versus its own history.
P&G Hygiene & Health is scored on the consumer / fmcg framework. It keeps a healthy 19.8% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash broadly tracks reported profit (CFO/PAT 1.08×). Free cash flow is worth about 4.1% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 3%/yr and profit at 8%/yr. Net worth has actually shrunk (-7%/yr) — value is not being built. Return on equity is an elite 113.7%. In the latest quarter profit fell 18% versus the prior quarter.
At 26× earnings, the stock sits at the 3rd percentile of its own 3.4-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~14%/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.

3% CAGR — growing but slowly. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
Profit is growing faster than revenue (8% vs 3%) — margin expansion is at work. The latest year saw a +35% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from 21% to 27% — 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 114% — the business earns well above its cost of equity. Capital efficiency improving — ROE up 42pp across the window.
8% EPS CAGR — this is the rate at which each share's claim on earnings is compounding.
Operating cash flow has been positive every year — the business generates real cash, not just accounting profit. 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 fell 6% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Run-rate fading — recent quarters 24% below earlier ones.
Profit fell 18% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly margins are compressing (18% → 14%) — 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 3.4y median.
Promoters hold 70.6% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game.
