Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A weak, stagnant business — but flagged on governance.
WINDSOR MACHINES is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a thin 0.1% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash conversion lags the reported profit (CFO/PAT -80.08×) — worth a closer look. Free cash flow is worth about -5.8% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 14%/yr and profit at -48%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 19%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a weak -0.7%. In the latest quarter profit fell 113% versus the prior quarter.
It trades at -1851× earnings. The forensic screen raises 2 red flags: 79% of pre-tax profit is other income, not operations; Share count up 22% over 4 years — heavy equity dilution.

14% CAGR over 3 years — steady double-digit compounder. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
2 of the 4 years shown had a loss — profitability is inconsistent. The latest year saw a +120% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has compressed from 3% to 1% — costs or competition are eating into profitability.
ROE at 0% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Low variance across years — a predictable business that earns steadily on its equity base.
Profit grew faster than EPS (-86% vs -89%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. -89% EPS CAGR — this is the rate at which each share's claim on earnings is compounding.
2 of 4 years had negative operating cash flow — profitability on paper may not translate to cash. Investing outflows exceed operating cash — the company relies on external funding to finance expansion.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue fell 20% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 23% above earlier ones.
2 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit fell 113% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly margins are compressing (3% → -1%) — more revenue isn't translating to proportionally more profit.
P/E band unavailable — needs 5y of consistent EPS + price history.
Promoters at 43.9% — dispersed ownership; institutional flows drive the stock. Promoters reduced 2.3pp over 4 quarters — watch whether this is planned divestment or pledge invocations. FII stake up 2.2pp over 4 quarters — growing foreign interest.
