Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A decent, slow-growing business, trading cheap versus its own history.
Supreme Industries is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a slim 8.5% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 1.28× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about 0.5% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 7%/yr and profit at 3%/yr. Book value has grown 12%/yr. Return on equity is a healthy 17.7%. In the latest quarter profit fell 35% versus the prior quarter.
At 42× 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 ~17%/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. 7% CAGR — growing but slowly.
Revenue is outpacing profit (7% vs 3%) — costs are rising faster than the top line.
Operating margins have been stable around 11% — no major structural shift.
ROE at 15% — a respectable return on shareholder capital.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. 3% 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 fell 23% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Wide quarterly swings (32% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 23% above earlier ones.
Profit fell 35% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly net margins are expanding (7% → 10%) — profitability per rupee of revenue is improving.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.6y median.
Promoters at 49.0% — dispersed ownership; institutional flows drive the stock. FIIs trimmed 2.7pp — foreign money is rotating out.
