Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A middling, slow-growing business, reasonably priced — but flagged on governance.
Whirlpool of India is scored on the consumer / fmcg framework. It keeps a thin 3.6% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash broadly tracks reported profit (CFO/PAT 1.01×). Free cash flow is worth about -16.5% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 7%/yr and profit at 10%/yr. Book value has grown 4%/yr. Return on equity is a weak 7.1%. In the latest quarter profit grew 28% versus the prior quarter.
At 36× earnings, the stock sits at the 21st percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price already implies ~19%/yr earnings growth sustained for a decade — a demanding bar. The forensic screen raises a red flag: 50% of pre-tax profit is other income, not operations.

Revenue has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. 7% CAGR — growing but slowly. Growth is decelerating — latest year grew slower than the year before.
Profit is growing faster than revenue (10% vs 7%) — margin expansion is at work.
Operating margins have been stable around 5% — no major structural shift.
ROE at 7% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. 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. 10% 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. 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 25% sequentially — momentum is building. Wide quarterly swings (39% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 43% above earlier ones.
Profit jumped 28% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.6y median.
Promoters at 39.8% — dispersed ownership; institutional flows drive the stock.
