Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A middling, steadily growing business, reasonably priced — but flagged on governance.
ZENITH EXPORTS is scored on the general / industrial 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 2.36× reported profit. It throws off free cash worth 5.9% of its market value — a strong free-cash yield.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 1%/yr and profit at 13%/yr. Book value has been broadly flat (1.8%/yr). Return on equity is a weak 2.7%.
At 44× earnings, the stock sits at the 21st percentile of its own 3.3-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price already implies ~50%/yr earnings growth sustained for a decade — a demanding bar. The forensic screen raises a red flag: 139% of pre-tax profit is other income, not operations.

Revenue declined 9% in the latest year — a break from prior trajectory. 1% CAGR — growing but slowly.
Profit is growing faster than revenue (13% vs 1%) — margin expansion is at work. The latest year saw a +34% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from 3% to 5% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 3% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Low variance across years — a predictable business that earns steadily on its equity base.
13% 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. Cash conversion at 2.4× PAT — earnings are well-backed by cash; strong accrual quality.
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. Wide quarterly swings (31% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate fading — recent quarters 19% below earlier ones.
2 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit fell 400% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly margins are compressing (4% → -4%) — more revenue isn't translating to proportionally more profit.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.3y median.
Promoters at 45.5% — dispersed ownership; institutional flows drive the stock.
