Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A middling, stagnant business, fully valued — but flagged on governance.
Royal Orchid Hotels is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a slim 7.0% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 2.88× reported profit. It throws off free cash worth 5.5% of its market value — a strong free-cash yield.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 13%/yr and profit at -15%/yr. Book value has grown 12%/yr. Return on equity is a healthy 12.5%. In the latest quarter profit fell 10% versus the prior quarter.
At 25× earnings, the stock sits at the 78th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the expensive end of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~13%/yr earnings growth for a decade. The forensic screen raises a red flag: 58% of pre-tax profit is other income, not operations.

Revenue has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. 13% CAGR over 3 years — steady double-digit compounder. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
Revenue is outpacing profit (13% vs -15%) — costs are rising faster than the top line. The latest year saw a -34% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has compressed from 23% to 9% — costs or competition are eating into profitability. Interest or tax burden is shrinking — more of the operating profit is reaching the bottom line. Margins have declined for 3 consecutive years — watch for a structural cost problem.
ROE at 10% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Capital efficiency declining — ROE down 13pp.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. EPS outpaced profit growth — possible buybacks are concentrating earnings into fewer shares. -12% 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 2.9× 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 broadly flat QoQ — stable but not accelerating. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 14% above earlier ones.
Profit fell 10% 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.
Promoter holding at 64.1% — majority control intact.
