Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A weak, stagnant business, priced for perfection — but flagged on governance.
RPP INFRA PROJECTS is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a thin 0.5% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash broadly tracks reported profit (CFO/PAT 0.97×). Free cash flow is worth about -21.8% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 13%/yr and profit at -36%/yr. Book value has grown 14%/yr. Return on equity is a weak 1.7%.
At 30× earnings, the stock sits at the 84th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the expensive end of where it has historically traded. Today's price already implies ~22%/yr earnings growth sustained for a decade — a demanding bar. The forensic screen raises 2 red flags: 215% of pre-tax profit is other income, not operations; Share count up 53% over 4 years — heavy equity dilution.

Revenue has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. 13% CAGR over 3 years — steady double-digit compounder.
Profit is on a 2-year growth streak. Revenue is outpacing profit (13% vs -36%) — costs are rising faster than the top line. The latest year saw a -89% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has compressed from 4% to 1% — costs or competition are eating into profitability.
ROE at 1% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Capital efficiency declining — ROE down 7pp.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. Profit grew faster than EPS (-36% vs -45%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. -45% 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. Investing outflows exceed operating cash — the company relies on external funding to finance expansion. Raising capital despite positive cash flow — could signal expansion plans or opportunistic fundraising.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue fell 25% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Wide quarterly swings (31% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 16% above earlier ones.
1 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit jumped 121% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly margins are compressing (4% → 1%) — 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.
Promoters hold just 24.6% — widely held; sentiment-driven. Promoters reduced 14.6pp over 4 quarters — watch whether this is planned divestment or pledge invocations.
