Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A middling, fast-growing business, fairly priced — but flagged on governance.
PTC Industries is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a healthy 15.8% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash conversion lags the reported profit (CFO/PAT -0.68×) — worth a closer look. Free cash flow is worth about -0.9% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 42%/yr and profit at 58%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 70%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a weak 6.7%. In the latest quarter profit fell 51% versus the prior quarter.
At 359× earnings, the stock sits at the 53rd percentile of its own 3.4-year range — the middle of where it has historically traded. Today's price already implies ~48%/yr earnings growth sustained for a decade — a demanding bar. The forensic screen raises a red flag: Only ₹-0.45 of cash per ₹1 profit over 4 years — earnings not converting to cash.

Revenue has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. 42% CAGR over 3 years — high-growth territory. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
Net profit has risen every year — the hallmark of a compounder. Profit is growing faster than revenue (58% vs 42%) — margin expansion is at work. The latest year saw a +66% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from 15% to 20% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 7% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Low variance across years — a predictable business that earns steadily on its equity base.
EPS has grown every year — each share earns more than the last, consistently. Profit grew faster than EPS (58% vs 51%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. 51% EPS CAGR — this is the rate at which each share's claim on earnings is compounding.
2 of 4 years had negative operating cash flow — profitability on paper may not translate to cash. 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 17% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Wide quarterly swings (44% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 46% above earlier ones.
Profit fell 51% 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 3.4y median.
Promoter holding at 56.5% — majority control intact. Promoters reduced 3.3pp over 4 quarters — watch whether this is planned divestment or pledge invocations. FII stake up 4.4pp over 4 quarters — growing foreign interest. Both FII and MF added last quarter — broad institutional confidence.
