An exceptional, steadily growing business, reasonably priced.
Shipping Corporation of India is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a fat 21.7% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash broadly tracks reported profit (CFO/PAT 0.99×). Free cash flow is worth about 4.0% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 2%/yr and profit at 16%/yr. Book value has grown 10%/yr. Return on equity is an elite 19.5%. In the latest quarter profit grew 53% versus the prior quarter.
At 9× earnings, the stock sits at the 24th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price asks for only ~-8%/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.

2% CAGR — growing but slowly.
Profit is growing faster than revenue (16% vs 2%) — margin expansion is at work. The latest year saw a +60% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from 14% to 23% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned. The gap between operating and net margin is widening — interest or tax costs are rising.
ROE at 15% — a respectable return on shareholder capital.
16% 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 rose 18% sequentially — momentum is building. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 16% above earlier ones.
Profit jumped 53% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly net margins are expanding (13% → 32%) — profitability per rupee of revenue is improving.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.6y median.
Promoter holding at 63.8% — majority control intact. FII stake up 2.5pp over 4 quarters — growing foreign interest.
