Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A decent, fast-growing business, reasonably priced — but flagged on governance.
3i Infotech is scored on the it / services framework. It keeps a slim 4.5% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash conversion lags the reported profit (CFO/PAT -1.24×) — worth a closer look. Free cash flow is worth about -19.2% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 2%/yr and profit at 195%/yr. Net worth has actually shrunk (-16%/yr) — value is not being built. Return on equity is a weak 6.6%. In the latest quarter profit grew 3% versus the prior quarter.
At 10× earnings, the stock sits at the 20th percentile of its own 2.2-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~7%/yr earnings growth for a decade. The forensic screen raises a red flag: 200% of pre-tax profit is other income, not operations.

2% CAGR — growing but slowly. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
1 of the 4 years shown had a loss — profitability is inconsistent. The latest year saw a +39% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from 1% to 6% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 9% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Capital efficiency improving — ROE up 9pp across the window.
Profit grew faster than EPS (406% vs 378%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. 378% EPS CAGR — this is the rate at which each share's claim on earnings is compounding.
1 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 broadly flat QoQ — stable but not accelerating. Low quarterly variance (7% spread) — a predictable, non-seasonal revenue stream.
Quarterly net margins are expanding (1% → 3%) — profitability per rupee of revenue is improving.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 2.2y median.
