Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A weak business, fairly priced.
Prism Johnson is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a thin 0.4% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 16.76× reported profit. It throws off free cash worth 6.3% of its market value — a strong free-cash yield.
Book value has grown 8%/yr. Return on equity is a weak 4.9%.
At 70× earnings, the stock sits at the 41st percentile of its own 2.6-year range — the middle of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~16%/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.

0% CAGR — growing but slowly. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
1 of the 4 years shown had a loss — profitability is inconsistent. The latest year saw a -33% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from -2% to 2% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 6% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Capital efficiency improving — ROE up 17pp across the window.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. EPS outpaced profit growth — possible buybacks are concentrating earnings into fewer shares. -37% 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 16.8× PAT — earnings are well-backed by cash; strong accrual quality. 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 12% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 10% above earlier ones.
1 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit jumped 807% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly net margins are expanding (0% → 6%) — profitability per rupee of revenue is improving.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 2.6y median.
Promoters hold 74.9% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game.
