Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A decent, stagnant business, reasonably priced — but flagged on governance.
Robust Hotels is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a healthy 14.9% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 1.85× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about 2.9% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 15%/yr and profit at -24%/yr. Book value has been broadly flat (2.2%/yr). Return on equity is a weak 4.0%. In the latest quarter profit fell 21% versus the prior quarter.
At 12× earnings, the stock sits at the 30th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the middle of where it has historically traded. Today's price asks for only ~1%/yr growth over a decade — undemanding expectations. The forensic screen raises a red flag: 52% of pre-tax profit is other income, not operations.

Revenue has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. 15% CAGR over 3 years — steady double-digit compounder. Growth is decelerating — latest year grew slower than the year before.
Revenue is outpacing profit (15% vs -24%) — costs are rising faster than the top line. The latest year saw a +50% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from -3% to 20% — 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.
-24% 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 1.8× PAT — earnings are well-backed by cash; strong accrual quality. Financing outflows in consecutive years — balance-sheet discipline through debt repayment or dividends.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue fell 13% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown.
Profit fell 21% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.6y median.
Promoters hold 65.6% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game.
