Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A weak, fast-growing business, trading cheap versus its own history.
Responsive Industries is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a healthy 10.6% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash conversion lags the reported profit (CFO/PAT 0.27×) — worth a closer look. Free cash flow is worth about 2.4% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 12%/yr and profit at 83%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 17%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a weak 3.5%. In the latest quarter profit grew 137% versus the prior quarter.
At 25× earnings, the stock sits at the 9th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price already implies ~26%/yr earnings growth sustained for a decade — a demanding bar. The books come through clean — a forensic grade of A, and Altman puts distress risk in the safe zone.

Revenue is on a 2-year growth streak. 12% CAGR over 3 years — steady double-digit compounder. Growth is decelerating — latest year grew slower than the year before.
Profit is on a 2-year growth streak. Profit is growing faster than revenue (83% vs 12%) — margin expansion is at work.
Operating margin has expanded from 3% to 11% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 10% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Capital efficiency improving — ROE up 7pp across the window.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. 83% 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 0.3× PAT — reported profit isn't translating into cash, raising earnings quality questions.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue rose 6% sequentially — momentum is building. Wide quarterly swings (55% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate fading — recent quarters 46% below earlier ones.
Profit jumped 137% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly margins are compressing (7% → 3%) — more revenue isn't translating to proportionally more profit.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.6y median.
Promoter holding at 59.1% — majority control intact. FIIs trimmed 23.7pp — foreign money is rotating out.
