An exceptional, fast-growing business, trading cheap versus its own history.
SRM CONTRACTORS LIMITED is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a healthy 10.7% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash broadly tracks reported profit (CFO/PAT 0.83×). Free cash flow is worth about -10.6% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 51%/yr and profit at 81%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 87%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is an elite 29.9%. In the latest quarter profit fell 64% versus the prior quarter.
At 8× earnings, the stock sits at the 1st percentile of its own 2.6-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price asks for only ~-5%/yr growth over a decade — undemanding expectations. 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. 51% CAGR over 3 years — high-growth territory. 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 (81% vs 51%) — margin expansion is at work. The latest year saw a +102% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from 8% to 15% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 27% — the business earns well above its cost of equity.
EPS has grown every year — each share earns more than the last, consistently. Profit grew faster than EPS (81% vs 63%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. 63% 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. 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 fell 56% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Wide quarterly swings (56% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 48% above earlier ones.
Profit fell 64% 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 2.6y median.
Promoters hold 72.6% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game.
