Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A decent, steadily growing business, reasonably priced.
PTC India is scored on the commodity / cyclical framework. It keeps a slim 4.2% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 3.93× reported profit. It throws off free cash worth 48.3% of its market value — a strong free-cash yield.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 3%/yr and profit at 14%/yr. Book value has grown 6%/yr. Return on equity is a modest 8.6%. In the latest quarter profit fell 8% versus the prior quarter.
At 7× 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 asks for only ~-4%/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.

3% CAGR — growing but slowly. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
Profit is on a 2-year growth streak. Profit is growing faster than revenue (14% vs 3%) — margin expansion is at work.
Operating margins have been stable around 5% — no major structural shift.
ROE at 10% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Low variance across years — a predictable business that earns steadily on its equity base.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. Profit grew faster than EPS (14% vs 11%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. 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. Cash conversion at 3.9× 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 rose 22% sequentially — momentum is building. Wide quarterly swings (38% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.6y median.
Promoters hold just 16.2% — widely held; sentiment-driven. FIIs trimmed 3.6pp — foreign money is rotating out.
