Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A decent, stagnant business, fairly priced.
Uflex is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a thin 2.0% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 3.13× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about -24.6% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 2%/yr and profit at -13%/yr. Book value has been broadly flat (2.7%/yr). Return on equity is a weak 3.9%. In the latest quarter profit grew 116% versus the prior quarter.
At 13× earnings, the stock sits at the 55th percentile of its own 2.6-year range — the middle of where it has historically traded. Today's price asks for only ~-8%/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.

2% CAGR — growing but slowly. 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 +123% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has compressed from 4% to 3% — costs or competition are eating into profitability.
ROE at 4% — modest; the capital isn't working hard.
-19% 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 3.1× 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 32% sequentially — momentum is building. Wide quarterly swings (33% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 27% above earlier ones.
Profit jumped 116% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly net margins are expanding (1% → 8%) — profitability per rupee of revenue is improving.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 2.6y median.
Promoters at 44.6% — dispersed ownership; institutional flows drive the stock.
