Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A middling, slow-growing business, fairly priced.
Torrent Power is scored on the commodity / cyclical framework. It keeps a slim 8.4% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 2.21× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about -4.1% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 4%/yr and profit at 5%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 20%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a modest 11.5%. In the latest quarter profit grew 100% versus the prior quarter.
At 27× earnings, the stock sits at the 59th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the middle of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~12%/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. 4% CAGR — growing but slowly. Growth is decelerating — latest year grew slower than the year before.
Operating margins have been stable around 11% — no major structural shift.
ROE at 13% — a respectable return on shareholder capital. Capital efficiency declining — ROE down 6pp.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. 3% 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 2.2× PAT — earnings are well-backed by cash; strong accrual quality. 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 27% sequentially — momentum is building.
Profit jumped 100% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.6y median.
Promoter holding at 51.1% — majority control intact.
