Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A middling business, priced for perfection — but flagged on governance.
RattanIndia Power is scored on the commodity / cyclical framework. It keeps a thin 1.6% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 7.10× reported profit. It throws off free cash worth 12.3% of its market value — a strong free-cash yield.
Return on equity is a weak 3.8%. In the latest quarter profit fell 16% versus the prior quarter.
At 66× earnings, the stock sits at the 80th percentile of its own 2.6-year range — the expensive end of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~9%/yr earnings growth for a decade. The forensic screen raises a red flag: 676% of pre-tax profit is other income, not operations.

Revenue declined 8% 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.
1 of the 4 years shown had a loss — profitability is inconsistent. The latest year saw a -76% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from -52% to 2% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 1% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Capital efficiency declining — ROE down 203pp.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. -92% 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 7.1× 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 9% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Low quarterly variance (9% spread) — a predictable, non-seasonal revenue stream.
Profit fell 16% 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 2.6y median.
Promoters at 44.1% — dispersed ownership; institutional flows drive the stock.
