Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A weak business, trading cheap versus its own history — but flagged on governance.
RAVI KUMAR DISTILLERIES is scored on the consumer / fmcg framework. It keeps a thin 0.6% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 12.57× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about 1.6% of its market value.
Net worth has actually shrunk (-1%/yr) — value is not being built. Return on equity is a weak 2.9%. In the latest quarter profit grew 40% versus the prior quarter.
At 300× earnings, the stock sits at the 18th percentile of its own 1.6-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price already implies ~45%/yr earnings growth sustained for a decade — a demanding bar. The forensic screen raises a red flag: 1750% of pre-tax profit is other income, not operations.

Revenue declined 43% in the latest year — a break from prior trajectory. Negative CAGR — the top line has shrunk over this window. Growth is decelerating — latest year grew slower than the year before.
2 of the 4 years shown had a loss — profitability is inconsistent.
Operating margin has expanded from -8% to 1% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 0% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Capital efficiency improving — ROE up 6pp across the window.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. Profit grew faster than EPS (8% vs -14%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. -14% EPS CAGR — this is the rate at which each share's claim on earnings is compounding.
2 of 4 years had negative operating cash flow — profitability on paper may not translate to cash. Cash conversion at 12.6× 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 fell 34% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Wide quarterly swings (34% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 17% above earlier ones.
Profit jumped 40% 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 1.6y median.
Promoters hold just 23.6% — widely held; sentiment-driven.
