Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A weak, stagnant business, priced for perfection.
Som Distilleries & Breweries is scored on the consumer / fmcg framework. It keeps a thin 0.8% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 18.43× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about -7.2% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 15%/yr and profit at -44%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 30%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a weak 1.9%.
At 150× earnings, the stock sits at the 91st percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the expensive end of where it has historically traded. The books come through clean — a forensic grade of A, and Altman puts distress risk in the safe zone.

Revenue is on a 2-year growth streak. 15% CAGR over 3 years — steady double-digit compounder. Growth is decelerating — latest year grew slower than the year before.
Profit is on a 2-year growth streak. Revenue is outpacing profit (15% vs -44%) — costs are rising faster than the top line. The latest year saw a -90% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has compressed from 9% to 2% — costs or competition are eating into profitability.
ROE at 1% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Capital efficiency declining — ROE down 15pp.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. Profit grew faster than EPS (-44% vs -61%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. -61% 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 18.4× PAT — earnings are well-backed by cash; strong accrual quality. Investing outflows exceed operating cash — the company relies on external funding to finance expansion.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue rose 48% sequentially — momentum is building. Wide quarterly swings (33% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate fading — recent quarters 14% below earlier ones.
1 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit jumped 103% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly margins are compressing (7% → 1%) — 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 at 39.4% — dispersed ownership; institutional flows drive the stock.
