Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A decent, stagnant business, reasonably priced — but flagged on governance.
Puravankara is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a thin 1.5% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 6.07× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about 1.8% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 40%/yr and profit at -5%/yr. Net worth has actually shrunk (-4%/yr) — value is not being built. Return on equity is a modest 9.0%. In the latest quarter profit fell 77% versus the prior quarter.
At 74× earnings, the stock sits at the 34th percentile of its own 2.6-year range — the middle of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~7%/yr earnings growth for a decade. The forensic screen raises a red flag: 139% of pre-tax profit is other income, not operations.

40% CAGR over 3 years — high-growth territory. 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 +131% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has compressed from 4% to 2% — costs or competition are eating into profitability. Margins have declined for 2 consecutive years — watch for a structural cost problem.
ROE at 3% — modest; the capital isn't working hard.
EPS outpaced profit growth — possible buybacks are concentrating earnings into fewer shares. -2% EPS CAGR — this is the rate at which each share's claim on earnings is compounding.
1 of 4 years had negative operating cash flow — profitability on paper may not translate to cash. Cash conversion at 6.1× PAT — earnings are well-backed by cash; strong accrual quality. Raising capital despite positive cash flow — could signal expansion plans or opportunistic fundraising.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue fell 43% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Wide quarterly swings (57% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 37% above earlier ones.
1 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit fell 77% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly net margins are expanding (-6% → 3%) — 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 75.0% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game.
