Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A decent, stagnant business, trading cheap versus its own history — but flagged on governance.
PYRAMID TECHNOPLAST LTD is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a slim 4.2% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash conversion lags the reported profit (CFO/PAT -1.44×) — worth a closer look. Free cash flow is worth about -22.2% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 12%/yr and profit at -3%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 37%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a modest 10.4%. In the latest quarter profit grew 4% versus the prior quarter.
At 19× earnings, the stock sits at the 19th percentile of its own 3.2-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~7%/yr earnings growth for a decade. The forensic screen raises a red flag: Only ₹0.25 of cash per ₹1 profit over 4 years — earnings not converting to cash.

Revenue has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. 12% CAGR over 3 years — steady double-digit compounder.
Revenue is outpacing profit (12% vs -3%) — costs are rising faster than the top line.
Operating margin has compressed from 9% to 6% — costs or competition are eating into profitability. Margins have declined for 3 consecutive years — watch for a structural cost problem.
ROE at 10% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Capital efficiency declining — ROE down 19pp.
Profit grew faster than EPS (-3% vs -8%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. -8% 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 rose 14% sequentially — momentum is building. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 30% above earlier ones.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.2y median.
Promoters hold 75.0% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game.
