I look for a durable business bought at a sensible price. Graphite India, in electrodes and refractories, at ₹721.60 gives a market cap of ₹14,098 Cr, P/E of 66.20 and P/B of 2.41 against book value of ₹299.89. That is not defensive value. The Graham Number is ₹337.28, so the margin of safety is -112.91% — I am paying more than twice my conservative estimate. On the positive side, debt/equity is just 0.06, promoter holding is 65.34%, Piotroski F-Score is 8/9 and free cash flow is ₹298 Cr. The latest quarter showed sales of ₹642 Cr and net profit of ₹67 Cr, while sales growth is 26.60% and profit growth is 28.40%. But ROE of 5.61% and ROCE of 10.11% are modest, suggesting no wide moat. The five-year revenue CAGR is -3.72%, which tells me this is a cyclical business, not a steady compounder. EV/EBITDA of 49.63 and P/E of 66.20 already price in a lot of optimism. DCF intrinsic value of ₹816.99 gives some upside, but DCF is assumption-heavy, and Altman Z-Score of 2.41 sits in the grey zone. Dividend yield of 0.95% is negligible. FairStock Score of 58/100, STEADY, feels fair. I would call it a cyclical with a strong balance sheet, but I want a larger discount to intrinsic value before buying. At this price, I would watch, not rush.
