Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A decent, steadily growing business, trading cheap versus its own history.
V-Guard Industries is scored on the commodity / cyclical framework. It keeps a slim 5.2% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 1.49× reported profit. 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 18%/yr. Book value has grown 14%/yr. Return on equity is a healthy 16.0%. In the latest quarter profit fell 14% versus the prior quarter.
At 42× earnings, the stock sits at the 3rd percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~15%/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. 13% CAGR over 3 years — steady double-digit compounder. Growth is decelerating — latest year grew slower than the year before.
Profit is on a 2-year growth streak. Profit is growing faster than revenue (18% vs 13%) — margin expansion is at work.
Operating margins have been stable around 7% — no major structural shift.
ROE at 13% — a respectable return on shareholder capital. Low variance across years — a predictable business that earns steadily on its equity base.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. 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. Cash conversion at 1.5× PAT — earnings are well-backed by cash; strong accrual quality. Heavy investing spend every year, but operations generate enough to cover it — the business self-funds its growth.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue broadly flat QoQ — stable but not accelerating. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 16% above earlier ones.
Profit fell 14% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.6y median.
Promoter holding at 53.2% — majority control intact. MF stake down 2.2pp — domestic funds are booking profits or rebalancing out.
