Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A weak, stagnant business, priced for perfection.
Welspun India is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a thin 2.3% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 5.52× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about 3.6% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 5%/yr and profit at 2%/yr. Book value has grown 6%/yr. Return on equity is a modest 8.6%. In the latest quarter profit grew 4% versus the prior quarter.
At 113× earnings, the stock sits at the 100th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the expensive end of where it has historically traded. Today's price already implies ~22%/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 is on a 2-year growth streak. 5% CAGR — growing but slowly. Growth is decelerating — latest year grew slower than the year before.
Revenue is outpacing profit (5% vs 2%) — costs are rising faster than the top line. The latest year saw a -67% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margins have been stable around 3% — no major structural shift.
ROE at 4% — modest; the capital isn't working hard.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. 2% 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 5.5× PAT — earnings are well-backed by cash; strong accrual quality. 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 broadly flat QoQ — stable but not accelerating. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 21% above earlier ones.
Quarterly net margins are expanding (0% → 6%) — 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 63.8% — majority control intact. Promoters reduced 2.5pp over 4 quarters — watch whether this is planned divestment or pledge invocations. FII stake up 4.0pp over 4 quarters — growing foreign interest. Both FII and MF added last quarter — broad institutional confidence.
