Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A high-quality, steadily growing business, priced for perfection.
Stylam Industries is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a healthy 13.2% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 1.18× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about 0.4% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 6%/yr and profit at 16%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 25%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is an elite 19.5%. In the latest quarter profit fell 12% versus the prior quarter.
At 36× earnings, the stock sits at the 90th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the expensive end of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~15%/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.

6% CAGR — growing but slowly.
Profit is growing faster than revenue (16% vs 6%) — margin expansion is at work.
Operating margin has expanded from 13% to 18% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 19% — a respectable return on shareholder capital.
16% 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. Heavy investing spend every year, but operations generate enough to cover it — the business self-funds its growth. Financing outflows in consecutive years — balance-sheet discipline through debt repayment or dividends.
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 stepping up — recent quarters average 20% above earlier ones.
Profit fell 12% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly margins are compressing (17% → 12%) — 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.
Promoter holding at 56.9% — majority control intact. Promoters added 4.7pp over 4 quarters — creeping acquisition signals conviction.
