Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A high-quality, fast-growing business, reasonably priced.
Power Mech Projects is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a slim 6.7% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash broadly tracks reported profit (CFO/PAT 0.94×). Free cash flow is worth about 2.8% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 19%/yr and profit at 26%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 27%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a healthy 14.4%. In the latest quarter profit fell 42% versus the prior quarter.
At 20× earnings, the stock sits at the 34th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the middle of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~7%/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 4 financial years shown. 19% CAGR over 3 years — steady double-digit compounder. Growth is decelerating — latest year grew slower than the year before.
Net profit has risen every year — the hallmark of a compounder. Profit is growing faster than revenue (26% vs 19%) — margin expansion is at work.
Operating margins have been stable around 9% — no major structural shift.
ROE at 16% — a respectable return on shareholder capital. High ROE despite single-digit margins — an asset-turn play with high capital velocity. Low variance across years — a predictable business that earns steadily on its equity base.
Profit grew faster than EPS (26% vs -7%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. -7% 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. Heavy investing spend every year, but operations generate enough to cover it — the business self-funds its growth.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue fell 23% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Wide quarterly swings (41% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 40% above earlier ones.
Profit fell 42% 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 58.4% — majority control intact.
