Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A middling, stagnant business, priced for perfection.
Wendt (India) is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a slim 6.0% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 1.50× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about 1.2% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 4%/yr and profit at -29%/yr. Book value has grown 10%/yr. Return on equity is a weak 7.5%. In the latest quarter profit grew 21% versus the prior quarter.
At 98× earnings, the stock sits at the 89th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the expensive end of where it has historically traded. Today's price already implies ~27%/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. 4% CAGR — growing but slowly.
Revenue is outpacing profit (4% vs -29%) — costs are rising faster than the top line. The latest year saw a -63% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has compressed from 25% to 9% — costs or competition are eating into profitability. Interest or tax burden is shrinking — more of the operating profit is reaching the bottom line. Margins have declined for 3 consecutive years — watch for a structural cost problem.
ROE at 6% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Capital efficiency declining — ROE down 16pp.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. -29% 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 rose 7% sequentially — momentum is building. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 17% above earlier ones.
Profit jumped 21% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly net margins are expanding (5% → 8%) — 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.
Promoters at 37.5% — dispersed ownership; institutional flows drive the stock. MF holding up 3.0pp — domestic institutional discovery underway.
