Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A high-quality, stagnant business, reasonably priced.
Tamilnadu Petroproducts is scored on the commodity / cyclical framework. It keeps a slim 6.5% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash conversion lags the reported profit (CFO/PAT -1.03×) — worth a closer look. Free cash flow is worth about -32.5% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at -12%/yr and profit at 1%/yr. Book value has grown 7%/yr. Return on equity is a healthy 15.1%. In the latest quarter profit grew 890% versus the prior quarter.
At 10× earnings, the stock sits at the 39th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the middle of where it has historically traded. Today's price asks for only ~-9%/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.

Revenue declined 19% in the latest year — a break from prior trajectory. Negative CAGR — the top line has shrunk over this window. Growth is decelerating — latest year grew slower than the year before.
Profit is growing faster than revenue (1% vs -12%) — margin expansion is at work. The latest year saw a +67% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from 6% to 9% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 10% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Low variance across years — a predictable business that earns steadily on its equity base.
1% EPS CAGR — this is the rate at which each share's claim on earnings is compounding.
1 of 4 years had negative operating cash flow — profitability on paper may not translate to cash. 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 rose 514% sequentially — momentum is building. Wide quarterly swings (84% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue.
Profit jumped 890% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. 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 34.5% — dispersed ownership; institutional flows drive the stock.
