Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A weak, stagnant business, priced for perfection — but flagged on governance.
SHREYANS INDUSTRIES is scored on the commodity / cyclical framework. It keeps a thin 1.0% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 2.23× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about -2.3% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at -10%/yr and profit at -56%/yr. Book value has grown 12%/yr. Return on equity is a weak 1.5%.
At 29× earnings, the stock sits at the 89th percentile of its own 3.5-year range — the expensive end of where it has historically traded. The forensic screen raises a red flag: 147% of pre-tax profit is other income, not operations.

Negative CAGR — the top line has shrunk over this window. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
Revenue is outpacing profit (-10% vs -56%) — costs are rising faster than the top line. The latest year saw a -87% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has compressed from 11% to 1% — costs or competition are eating into profitability. Interest or tax burden is shrinking — more of the operating profit is reaching the bottom line.
ROE at 2% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Capital efficiency declining — ROE down 23pp.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. -56% 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 2.2× 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 broadly flat QoQ — stable but not accelerating. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 11% above earlier ones.
3 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit jumped 69% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly margins are compressing (2% → -2%) — 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 3.5y median.
Promoter holding at 50.3% — majority control intact.
