Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A high-quality, slow-growing business, fully valued.
Stove Kraft is scored on the consumer / fmcg framework. It keeps a thin 2.6% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 6.14× reported profit. It throws off free cash worth 5.6% of its market value — a strong free-cash yield.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 8%/yr and profit at 6%/yr. Book value has grown 8%/yr. Return on equity is an elite 19.0%. In the latest quarter profit grew 182% versus the prior quarter.
At 63× earnings, the stock sits at the 77th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the expensive end of where it has historically traded. Today's price already implies ~25%/yr earnings growth sustained for a decade — a demanding bar. 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. 8% CAGR — growing but slowly.
Operating margins have been stable around 3% — no major structural shift.
ROE at 8% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Low variance across years — a predictable business that earns steadily on its equity base.
5% 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 6.1× 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 17% sequentially — momentum is building.
Profit jumped 182% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item.
