Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A middling, fast-growing business, reasonably priced — but flagged on governance.
Shakti Pumps (India) is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a slim 9.5% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash conversion lags the reported profit (CFO/PAT 0.48×) — worth a closer look. Free cash flow is worth about -3.8% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 41%/yr and profit at 120%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 60%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a modest 9.0%. In the latest quarter profit fell 25% versus the prior quarter.
At 17× earnings, the stock sits at the 28th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the middle of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~13%/yr earnings growth for a decade. The forensic screen raises a red flag: Only ₹0.28 of cash per ₹1 profit over 4 years — earnings not converting to cash.

Revenue has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. 41% CAGR over 3 years — high-growth territory. Growth is decelerating — latest year grew slower than the year before.
Profit is on a 2-year growth streak. Profit is growing faster than revenue (120% vs 41%) — margin expansion is at work. The latest year saw a -37% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from 3% to 13% — 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. Capital efficiency improving — ROE up 9pp across the window.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. Profit grew faster than EPS (120% vs 17%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. 17% 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 0.5× PAT — reported profit isn't translating into cash, raising earnings quality questions. 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 fell 13% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Wide quarterly swings (36% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 14% above earlier ones.
Profit fell 25% 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.
Promoter holding at 50.4% — majority control intact. MF stake down 4.5pp — domestic funds are booking profits or rebalancing out.
