Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A middling, slow-growing business, fairly priced.
Shanthi Gears is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a healthy 14.2% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash broadly tracks reported profit (CFO/PAT 0.91×). Free cash flow is worth about 0.7% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 6%/yr and profit at 5%/yr. Book value has grown 13%/yr. Return on equity is an elite 25.6%. In the latest quarter profit grew 60% versus the prior quarter.
At 49× earnings, the stock sits at the 54th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the middle of where it has historically traded. Today's price already implies ~25%/yr earnings growth sustained for a decade — a demanding bar. 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. 6% CAGR — growing but slowly. Growth is decelerating — latest year grew slower than the year before.
Profit is on a 2-year growth streak.
Operating margins have been stable around 19% — no major structural shift.
ROE at 17% — a respectable return on shareholder capital.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. 5% 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 10% sequentially — momentum is building.
Profit jumped 60% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.6y median.
Promoters hold 73.2% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game. Promoters added 2.7pp over 4 quarters — creeping acquisition signals conviction. FIIs trimmed 3.0pp — foreign money is rotating out.
