Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A decent, steadily growing business, trading cheap versus its own history.
Rupa & Company is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a slim 5.7% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash conversion lags the reported profit (CFO/PAT 0.62×) — worth a closer look. Free cash flow is worth about 0.6% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 3%/yr and profit at 11%/yr. Book value has grown 5%/yr. Return on equity is a weak 7.3%. In the latest quarter profit fell 77% versus the prior quarter.
At 13× earnings, the stock sits at the 5th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price asks for only ~3%/yr growth over a decade — undemanding expectations. 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. 3% CAGR — growing but slowly.
Profit is on a 2-year growth streak. Profit is growing faster than revenue (10% vs 3%) — margin expansion is at work.
Operating margin has expanded from 6% to 8% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 7% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Low variance across years — a predictable business that earns steadily on its equity base.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. 10% 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 fell 54% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Wide quarterly swings (54% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue.
Profit fell 77% 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.
Promoters hold 73.3% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game.
