Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A decent, fast-growing business, priced for perfection.
SPR AUTO TECHNOLOGIES LTD is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a healthy 12.3% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 1.11× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about -6.0% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 20%/yr and profit at 24%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 25%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a healthy 13.9%. In the latest quarter profit grew 10% versus the prior quarter.
At 34× earnings, the stock sits at the 93rd percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the expensive end of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~16%/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. 20% CAGR over 3 years — steady double-digit compounder. 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 (24% vs 20%) — margin expansion is at work.
Operating margin has expanded from 15% to 16% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 19% — a respectable return on shareholder capital. Low variance across years — a predictable business that earns steadily on its equity base.
Profit grew faster than EPS (24% vs -2%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. -2% 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. Investing outflows exceed operating cash — the company relies on external funding to finance expansion. Raising capital despite positive cash flow — could signal expansion plans or opportunistic fundraising.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue rose 12% sequentially — momentum is building. Wide quarterly swings (37% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 25% above earlier ones.
Quarterly margins are compressing (12% → 10%) — 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 41.5% — dispersed ownership; institutional flows drive the stock. Promoters reduced 2.2pp over 4 quarters — watch whether this is planned divestment or pledge invocations. MF holding up 5.2pp — domestic institutional discovery underway.
