Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A middling, stagnant business, fully valued.
Rain Industries is scored on the commodity / cyclical framework. It keeps a thin 0.8% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 6.60× reported profit. It throws off free cash worth 8.2% of its market value — a strong free-cash yield.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at -7%/yr and profit at -56%/yr. Net worth has actually shrunk (-4%/yr) — value is not being built. Return on equity is a weak -5.9%. In the latest quarter profit grew 116% versus the prior quarter.
At 144× earnings, the stock sits at the 76th percentile of its own 1.9-year range — the expensive end of where it has historically traded. The books come through clean — a forensic grade of A, and Altman puts distress risk in the safe zone.

Negative CAGR — the top line has shrunk over this window. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
2 of the 4 years shown had a loss — profitability is inconsistent. The latest year saw a +130% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has compressed from 11% to 3% — costs or competition are eating into profitability.
ROE at 2% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Capital efficiency declining — ROE down 16pp.
Profit grew faster than EPS (-91% vs -97%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. -97% 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 6.6× 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 14% sequentially — momentum is building. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 10% above earlier ones.
Profit jumped 116% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly net margins are expanding (3% → 7%) — profitability per rupee of revenue is improving.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 1.9y median.
