Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A high-quality, steadily growing business, priced for perfection.
Vadilal Industries is scored on the consumer / fmcg framework. It keeps a healthy 10.2% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash broadly tracks reported profit (CFO/PAT 0.92×). Free cash flow is worth about 0.7% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 13%/yr and profit at 17%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 29%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is an elite 24.2%. In the latest quarter profit fell 58% versus the prior quarter.
At 33× earnings, the stock sits at the 94th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the expensive end of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~10%/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 has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. 12% CAGR over 3 years — steady double-digit compounder. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
Net profit has risen every year — the hallmark of a compounder. Profit is growing faster than revenue (17% vs 12%) — margin expansion is at work.
Operating margins have been stable around 13% — no major structural shift.
ROE at 18% — a respectable return on shareholder capital. Capital efficiency declining — ROE down 6pp.
EPS has grown every year — each share earns more than the last, consistently. 17% 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. Heavy investing spend every year, but operations generate enough to cover it — the business self-funds its growth. Financing outflows in consecutive years — balance-sheet discipline through debt repayment or dividends.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue fell 33% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Wide quarterly swings (66% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 77% above earlier ones.
1 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit fell 58% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly net margins are expanding (-0% → 12%) — 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.
Promoter holding at 64.7% — majority control intact.
