Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A middling, fast-growing business, reasonably priced — but flagged on governance.
Sobha is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a thin 3.6% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 2.22× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about 2.4% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 17%/yr and profit at 23%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 24%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a weak 4.0%. In the latest quarter profit fell 35% versus the prior quarter.
At 71× earnings, the stock sits at the 23rd percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price already implies ~26%/yr earnings growth sustained for a decade — a demanding bar. The forensic screen raises a red flag: 74% of pre-tax profit is other income, not operations.

17% CAGR over 3 years — steady double-digit compounder.
Profit is growing faster than revenue (23% vs 17%) — margin expansion is at work. The latest year saw a +104% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margins have been stable around 5% — no major structural shift.
ROE at 4% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Low variance across years — a predictable business that earns steadily on its equity base.
Profit grew faster than EPS (23% vs 18%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. 18% 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. 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 fell 24% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Wide quarterly swings (52% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate fading — recent quarters 22% below earlier ones.
Profit fell 35% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.6y median.
Promoter holding at 52.9% — majority control intact.
