Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A middling, slow-growing business, reasonably priced — but flagged on governance.
Suzlon Energy is scored on the commodity / cyclical framework. It keeps a healthy 18.8% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash conversion lags the reported profit (CFO/PAT 0.38×) — worth a closer look. Free cash flow is worth about 0.5% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 41%/yr and profit at 3%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 105%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is an elite 22.0%. In the latest quarter profit grew 29% versus the prior quarter.
At 17× earnings, the stock sits at the 27th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the middle of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~11%/yr earnings growth for a decade. The forensic screen raises 2 red flags: Only ₹0.33 of cash per ₹1 profit over 4 years — earnings not converting to cash; Share count up 25% over 4 years — heavy equity dilution.

Revenue has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. 41% CAGR over 3 years — high-growth territory. Growth is decelerating — latest year grew slower than the year before.
Revenue is outpacing profit (41% vs 3%) — costs are rising faster than the top line. The latest year saw a +53% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has compressed from 48% to 14% — costs or competition are eating into profitability. Interest or tax burden is shrinking — more of the operating profit is reaching the bottom line.
ROE at 33% — the business earns well above its cost of equity. Capital efficiency declining — ROE down 229pp.
Profit grew faster than EPS (3% vs -4%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. -4% 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 0.4× PAT — reported profit isn't translating into cash, raising earnings quality questions.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue rose 27% sequentially — momentum is building. Wide quarterly swings (30% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate fading — recent quarters 10% below earlier ones.
Profit jumped 29% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly margins are compressing (10% → 8%) — 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.
Promoters hold just 11.7% — widely held; sentiment-driven.
