Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A decent, fast-growing business, trading cheap versus its own history.
Skipper is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a thin 3.8% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 1.30× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about 0.1% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 41%/yr and profit at 82%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 25%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a healthy 12.6%. In the latest quarter profit grew 2% versus the prior quarter.
At 27× earnings, the stock sits at the 10th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~12%/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. 41% CAGR over 3 years — high-growth territory. Growth is decelerating — latest year grew slower than the year before.
Net profit has risen every year — the hallmark of a compounder. Profit is growing faster than revenue (82% vs 41%) — margin expansion is at work. The latest year saw a +43% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from 3% to 5% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 14% — a respectable return on shareholder capital. Capital efficiency improving — ROE up 10pp across the window.
EPS has grown every year — each share earns more than the last, consistently. Profit grew faster than EPS (82% vs 78%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. 78% 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 1.3× PAT — earnings are well-backed by cash; strong accrual quality. Heavy investing spend every year, but operations generate enough to cover it — the business self-funds its growth.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue rose 5% sequentially — momentum is building. Run-rate fading — recent quarters 11% below earlier ones.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.6y median.
Promoter holding at 61.5% — majority control intact. Promoters reduced 5.0pp over 4 quarters — watch whether this is planned divestment or pledge invocations. FII stake up 4.2pp over 4 quarters — growing foreign interest.
