Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A middling business, fully valued — but flagged on governance.
Swan Energy is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a slim 5.3% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash conversion lags the reported profit (CFO/PAT -0.05×) — worth a closer look. Free cash flow is worth about 3.7% of its market value.
Book value itself has compounded 35%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a modest 9.5%. In the latest quarter profit fell 114% versus the prior quarter.
At 28× earnings, the stock sits at the 63rd percentile of its own 2.6-year range — the middle of where it has historically traded. Today's price asks for only ~-1%/yr growth over a decade — undemanding expectations. The forensic screen raises 3 red flags: Only ₹-0.60 of cash per ₹1 profit over 4 years — earnings not converting to cash; 212% of pre-tax profit is other income, not operations; Share count up 29% over 4 years — heavy equity dilution.

Revenue is on a 2-year growth streak. 53% CAGR over 3 years — high-growth territory. Growth is decelerating — latest year grew slower than the year before.
1 of the 4 years shown had a loss — profitability is inconsistent. The latest year saw a -69% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from -4% to 7% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 3% — modest; the capital isn't working hard.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. Profit grew faster than EPS (-32% vs -38%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. -38% EPS CAGR — this is the rate at which each share's claim on earnings is compounding.
3 of 4 years had negative operating cash flow — profitability on paper may not translate to cash. 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 fell 31% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Wide quarterly swings (31% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 8% above earlier ones.
3 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit fell 114% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly margins are compressing (-0% → -3%) — 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 2.6y median.
Promoter holding at 54.0% — majority control intact.
