An exceptional, fast-growing business, fairly priced.
SANDUR MANG & IRON ORES L is scored on the commodity / cyclical framework. It keeps a healthy 12.8% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 1.73× reported profit. It throws off free cash worth 13.4% of its market value — a strong free-cash yield.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 33%/yr and profit at 34%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 19%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is an elite 22.6%. In the latest quarter profit fell 3% versus the prior quarter.
At 13× earnings, the stock sits at the 53rd percentile of its own 3.2-year range — the middle of where it has historically traded. Today's price asks for only ~-0%/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.

Operating margins have been stable around 16% — no major structural shift.
ROE at 20% — the business earns well above its cost of equity. Capital efficiency improving — ROE up 6pp across the window.
Profit grew faster than EPS (34% vs -7%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. -7% EPS CAGR — this is the rate at which each share's claim on earnings is compounding.
