A decent, steadily growing business, trading cheap versus its own history.
Plastiblends India is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a slim 4.6% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash conversion lags the reported profit (CFO/PAT 0.58×) — worth a closer look. Free cash flow is worth about -2.6% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 1%/yr and profit at 11%/yr. Book value has grown 4%/yr. Return on equity is a modest 9.0%. In the latest quarter profit fell 29% versus the prior quarter.
At 12× earnings, the stock sits at the 11th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price asks for only ~-1%/yr growth over a decade — undemanding expectations. The books come through clean — a forensic grade of A, and Altman puts distress risk in the safe zone.

1% CAGR — growing but slowly.
Profit is growing faster than revenue (11% vs 1%) — margin expansion is at work.
Operating margins have been stable around 6% — no major structural shift.
ROE at 8% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Low variance across years — a predictable business that earns steadily on its equity base.
11% 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 broadly flat QoQ — stable but not accelerating. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 13% above earlier ones.
Profit fell 29% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.6y median.
Promoter holding at 62.1% — majority control intact.
