Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
An exceptional, steadily growing business, priced for perfection.
Sharda Motor Industries is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a slim 9.9% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash broadly tracks reported profit (CFO/PAT 1.05×). Free cash flow is worth about -0.1% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 8%/yr and profit at 18%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 20%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is an elite 26.3%. In the latest quarter profit fell 3% versus the prior quarter.
At 14× earnings, the stock sits at the 90th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the expensive end of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~5%/yr earnings growth for a decade. The books come through clean — a forensic grade of A, and Altman puts distress risk in the safe zone.

Revenue has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. 8% CAGR — growing but slowly. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
Net profit has risen every year — the hallmark of a compounder. Profit is growing faster than revenue (18% vs 8%) — margin expansion is at work.
Operating margin has expanded from 10% to 13% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 26% — the business earns well above its cost of equity. Low variance across years — a predictable business that earns steadily on its equity base.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. Profit grew faster than EPS (18% vs -5%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. -5% EPS CAGR — this is the rate at which each share's claim on earnings is compounding.
1 of 4 years had negative operating cash flow — profitability on paper may not translate to cash. 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 broadly flat QoQ — stable but not accelerating. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 19% above earlier ones.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.6y median.
Promoter holding at 64.3% — majority control intact.
