A decent, fast-growing business, trading cheap versus its own history — but flagged on governance.
SURATWWALA BUS GROUP LTD is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a fat 26.4% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash conversion lags the reported profit (CFO/PAT -0.16×) — worth a closer look. Free cash flow is worth about -1.1% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 32%/yr and profit at 21%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 107%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is an elite 36.3%. In the latest quarter profit fell 30% versus the prior quarter.
At 10× earnings, the stock sits at the 4th 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 forensic screen raises a red flag: Only ₹-0.22 of cash per ₹1 profit over 4 years — earnings not converting to cash.

32% CAGR over 3 years — high-growth territory. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
Revenue is outpacing profit (32% vs 21%) — costs are rising faster than the top line. The latest year saw a +243% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has compressed from 44% to 36% — costs or competition are eating into profitability.
ROE at 34% — the business earns well above its cost of equity. ROE powered by fat margins — the hallmark of a high-quality franchise with pricing power. Capital efficiency declining — ROE down 135pp.
21% EPS CAGR — this is the rate at which each share's claim on earnings is compounding.
3 of 4 years had negative operating cash flow — profitability on paper may not translate to cash.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue fell 27% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Wide quarterly swings (55% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 48% above earlier ones.
Profit fell 30% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly margins are compressing (31% → 22%) — 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 73.4% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game.
