⚙️ Elecon Engineering: From Worm Gears to Wealth Generator

At a Glance

Elecon has gone from slow-turning gear manufacturer to a 23% ROE machine. With a ₹13,879 Cr market cap, 5-year profit CAGR of 36%, and 25%+ OPMs, it’s the smallcap industrial that roared. But at 31x P/E, are we overpaying for precision?

Imagine a company whose gears run submarines, sugar mills, and steel plants — and somehow also run your portfolio faster than most fintech startups.

That’s Elecon Engineering: part gearhead, part cashflow king, part quiet multibagger. And if you thought industrials can’t be sexy, just look at that TTM EPS chart. 🔥
