A decent business — but flagged on governance.
PVR Inox is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a slim 4.9% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 6.49× reported profit. It throws off free cash worth 13.8% of its market value — a strong free-cash yield.
Book value has been broadly flat (0.2%/yr). Return on equity is a weak 6.4%. In the latest quarter profit grew 366% versus the prior quarter.
It trades at 26× earnings. Today's price implies ~12%/yr earnings growth for a decade. The forensic screen raises a red flag: 81% of pre-tax profit is other income, not operations.

21% CAGR over 3 years — high-growth territory. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
3 of the 4 years shown had a loss — profitability is inconsistent. The latest year saw a +218% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from -5% to 3% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned. Interest or tax burden is shrinking — more of the operating profit is reaching the bottom line.
ROE at 2% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Capital efficiency improving — ROE up 7pp across the window.
Operating cash flow has been positive every year — the business generates real cash, not just accounting profit. Cash conversion at 6.5× PAT — earnings are well-backed by cash; strong accrual quality. Heavy investing spend every year, but operations generate enough to cover it — the business self-funds its growth.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue rose 30% sequentially — momentum is building.
Profit jumped 366% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly net margins are expanding (5% → 12%) — profitability per rupee of revenue is improving.
P/E band unavailable — needs 5y of consistent EPS + price history.
Promoters hold just 27.6% — widely held; sentiment-driven. FIIs have accumulated for 3 straight quarters — sustained foreign institutional conviction. MF stake down 2.4pp — domestic funds are booking profits or rebalancing out. Both FII and MF added last quarter — broad institutional confidence.
