Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A middling, fast-growing business, trading cheap versus its own history.
Texmaco Rail & Engineering is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a slim 4.4% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 1.87× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about 3.1% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 25%/yr and profit at 156%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 20%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a weak 7.8%. In the latest quarter profit fell 14% versus the prior quarter.
At 22× earnings, the stock sits at the 19th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~6%/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 is on a 2-year growth streak. 25% CAGR over 3 years — high-growth territory. Growth is decelerating — latest year grew slower than the year before.
Profit is on a 2-year growth streak. Profit is growing faster than revenue (156% vs 25%) — margin expansion is at work.
Operating margin has expanded from 1% to 6% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 8% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Capital efficiency improving — ROE up 7pp across the window.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. Profit grew faster than EPS (156% vs 81%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. 81% EPS CAGR — this is the rate at which each share's claim on earnings is compounding.
2 of 4 years had negative operating cash flow — profitability on paper may not translate to cash. Cash conversion at 1.9× 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 34% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Wide quarterly swings (39% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate fading — recent quarters 16% below earlier ones.
Profit fell 14% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.6y median.
Promoters at 48.3% — dispersed ownership; institutional flows drive the stock.
