Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A decent business, priced for perfection.
VMart Retail is scored on the consumer / fmcg framework. It keeps a thin 3.3% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 4.04× reported profit. It throws off free cash worth 5.4% of its market value — a strong free-cash yield.
Book value has grown 4%/yr. Return on equity is a healthy 13.3%. In the latest quarter profit grew 319% versus the prior quarter.
At 49× earnings, the stock sits at the 81st percentile of its own 1.6-year range — the expensive end of where it has historically traded. Today's price already implies ~21%/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. 15% CAGR over 3 years — steady double-digit compounder.
2 of the 4 years shown had a loss — profitability is inconsistent. The latest year saw a +171% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from -1% to 4% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 13% — a respectable return on shareholder capital. Capital efficiency improving — ROE up 14pp across the window.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. Profit grew faster than EPS (171% vs -32%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. -32% 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 4.0× 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 rose 12% sequentially — momentum is building.
1 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit jumped 319% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly net margins are expanding (-1% → 4%) — profitability per rupee of revenue is improving.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 1.6y median.
Promoters at 44.1% — dispersed ownership; institutional flows drive the stock.
