A decent, slow-growing business, trading cheap versus its own history.
Ramco Industries is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a slim 7.5% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 1.48× reported profit. It throws off free cash worth 6.0% of its market value — a strong free-cash yield.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 7%/yr and profit at 8%/yr. Book value has grown 5%/yr. Return on equity is a weak 7.3%. In the latest quarter profit grew 66% versus the prior quarter.
At 9× earnings, the stock sits at the 12th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price asks for only ~-4%/yr growth over a decade — undemanding expectations. The books come through clean — a forensic grade of A, and Altman puts distress risk in the safe zone.

Revenue has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. 7% CAGR — growing but slowly.
The latest year saw a +45% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from 8% to 11% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned. The gap between operating and net margin is widening — interest or tax costs are rising.
ROE at 3% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Low variance across years — a predictable business that earns steadily on its equity base.
EPS outpaced profit growth — possible buybacks are concentrating earnings into fewer shares. 34% 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 1.5× 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 22% sequentially — momentum is building. Wide quarterly swings (40% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 47% above earlier ones.
Profit jumped 66% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly net margins are expanding (6% → 13%) — profitability per rupee of revenue is improving.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.6y median.
Promoter holding at 54.8% — majority control intact.
