1. At a Glance
R J Shah & Co just reported a ₹0.18 Cr profit on ₹0 revenue. Yes, you read that right. Most of its earnings came from “Other Income” — which, for this company, is as predictable as its quarterly sales droughts. The stock’s up 5%, P/E is a hilarious 2.55, and Book Value is ₹1,459. What sorcery is this?
2. Introduction with Hook
Picture this: A company founded in 1957 that builds hydro tunnels and atomic shafts… but reports near-zero revenue for years, while sitting on a book value that could make a real estate tycoon blush.
Meet R J Shah & Company — a civil engineering relic trading at 0.36x book, 2.5x earnings, and possibly 100x confusion.
Also: ₹530 stock price on ₹207 TTM EPS. Even your CAs can’t ignore that math.
3. Business Model (WTF Do They Even Do?)
R J Shah doesn’t build villas. It builds tunnels, caverns, shafts, and hydro-mechanical structures for:
Hydro Power Projects
Railways
Atomic Energy Stations
Irrigation departments
Clientele: Government + Semi-government bodies Typical deal: EPC contracts or Civil + Hydro-Mechanical works
Think of them as the engineer in the shadows — not flashy, but crucial when the water starts flowing uphill.
