A middling, slow-growing business, fully valued.
Prestige Estate is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a slim 9.9% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 2.47× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about -3.4% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 15%/yr and profit at 7%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 18%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a weak 5.6%. In the latest quarter profit fell 7% versus the prior quarter.
At 59× earnings, the stock sits at the 70th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the middle of where it has historically traded. Today's price already implies ~25%/yr earnings growth sustained for a decade — a demanding bar. The books come through clean — a forensic grade of A, and Altman puts distress risk in the safe zone.

15% CAGR over 3 years — steady double-digit compounder. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
Revenue is outpacing profit (15% vs 7%) — costs are rising faster than the top line. The latest year saw a +112% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has compressed from 16% to 13% — costs or competition are eating into profitability.
ROE at 8% — modest; the capital isn't working hard.
6% 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. Cash conversion at 2.5× PAT — earnings are well-backed by cash; strong accrual quality. 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 fell 32% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Wide quarterly swings (35% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue.
Quarterly margins are compressing (17% → 10%) — 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.
Promoter holding at 60.9% — majority control intact. FIIs trimmed 2.8pp — foreign money is rotating out. MF holding up 3.0pp — domestic institutional discovery underway.
