Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A middling, stagnant business, reasonably priced — but flagged on governance.
RAYMOND LIFESTYLE LIMITED is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a thin 0.7% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 11.83× reported profit. It throws off free cash worth 12.9% of its market value — a strong free-cash yield.
Over the last 2 years revenue compounded at 3%/yr and profit at -87%/yr. Book value has been broadly flat (-0.1%/yr). Return on equity is a weak 1.4%.
At 70× earnings, the stock sits at the 29th percentile of its own 2.2-year range — the middle of where it has historically traded. Today's price already implies ~30%/yr earnings growth sustained for a decade — a demanding bar. The forensic screen raises a red flag: 203% of pre-tax profit is other income, not operations.

3% CAGR — growing but slowly. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
Revenue is outpacing profit (3% vs -87%) — costs are rising faster than the top line.
Operating margin has compressed from 10% to 1% — costs or competition are eating into profitability. The gap between operating and net margin is widening — interest or tax costs are rising.
ROE at 0% — modest; the capital isn't working hard.
-87% 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 11.8× PAT — earnings are well-backed by cash; strong accrual quality.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue rose 36% sequentially — momentum is building.
2 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit jumped 399% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 2.2y median.
Promoter holding at 59.6% — majority control intact. Promoters added 1.4pp over 4 quarters — creeping acquisition signals conviction.
