Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A high-quality, fast-growing business, trading cheap versus its own history.
Taj GVK Hotels & Resorts is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a fat 75.1% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash conversion lags the reported profit (CFO/PAT 0.45×) — worth a closer look. Free cash flow is worth about -0.1% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 8%/yr and profit at 70%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 45%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a healthy 15.1%. In the latest quarter profit fell 90% versus the prior quarter.
At 5× earnings, the stock sits at the 6th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price asks for only ~-11%/yr growth over a decade — undemanding expectations. The books come through clean — a forensic grade of A, and Altman puts distress risk in the safe zone.

8% CAGR — growing but slowly.
Profit is growing faster than revenue (69% vs 8%) — margin expansion is at work. The latest year saw a +309% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from 29% to 83% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 27% — the business earns well above its cost of equity. ROE powered by fat margins — the hallmark of a high-quality franchise with pricing power. Capital efficiency improving — ROE up 10pp across the window.
Profit grew faster than EPS (69% vs 64%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. 64% 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. Investing outflows exceed operating cash — the company relies on external funding to finance expansion.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue broadly flat QoQ — stable but not accelerating. Wide quarterly swings (34% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 32% above earlier ones.
Profit fell 90% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly margins are compressing (22% → 19%) — more revenue isn't translating to proportionally more profit.
