Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A decent, fast-growing business, fairly priced.
VESUVIUS INDIA LTD is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a healthy 12.2% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash conversion lags the reported profit (CFO/PAT 0.67×) — worth a closer look. Free cash flow is worth about 2.2% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 17%/yr and profit at 31%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 19%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a healthy 16.5%. In the latest quarter profit grew 5% versus the prior quarter.
At 28× earnings, the stock sits at the 53rd percentile of its own 3.9-year range — the middle of where it has historically traded. Today's price already implies ~20%/yr earnings growth sustained for a decade — a demanding bar. 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. 17% CAGR over 3 years — steady double-digit compounder.
Profit is on a 2-year growth streak. Profit is growing faster than revenue (31% vs 17%) — margin expansion is at work.
Operating margin has expanded from 11% to 16% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 16% — a respectable return on shareholder capital.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. Profit grew faster than EPS (31% vs -39%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. -39% 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 rose 7% sequentially — momentum is building.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.9y median.
Promoter holding at 55.6% — majority control intact.
