Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A high-quality, fast-growing business, trading cheap versus its own history.
R R Kabel is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a slim 5.0% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash conversion lags the reported profit (CFO/PAT 0.60×) — worth a closer look. Free cash flow is worth about 0.1% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 20%/yr and profit at 37%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 22%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is an elite 22.1%. In the latest quarter profit fell 12% versus the prior quarter.
At 44× earnings, the stock sits at the 13th percentile of its own 3.2-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~16%/yr earnings growth for a decade. The books come through clean — a forensic grade of A, and Altman puts distress risk in the safe zone.

Revenue has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. 20% CAGR over 3 years — high-growth territory. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
Net profit has risen every year — the hallmark of a compounder. Profit is growing faster than revenue (37% vs 20%) — margin expansion is at work. The latest year saw a +58% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from 5% to 7% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 19% — a respectable return on shareholder capital. High ROE despite single-digit margins — an asset-turn play with high capital velocity. Capital efficiency improving — ROE up 6pp across the window.
EPS has grown every year — each share earns more than the last, consistently. 37% 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. Heavy investing spend every year, but operations generate enough to cover it — the business self-funds its growth. 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 broadly flat QoQ — stable but not accelerating. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 18% above earlier ones.
Profit fell 12% 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 3.2y median.
Promoter holding at 59.3% — majority control intact. Promoters reduced 2.3pp over 4 quarters — watch whether this is planned divestment or pledge invocations. FIIs have accumulated for 3 straight quarters — sustained foreign institutional conviction. MF stake down 2.1pp — domestic funds are booking profits or rebalancing out.
