Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A middling business, fully valued — but flagged on governance.
A2Z Infra Engineering is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a thin 1.3% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash conversion lags the reported profit (CFO/PAT -3.17×) — worth a closer look. Free cash flow is worth about -2.4% of its market value.
Book value has grown 4%/yr. Return on equity is a healthy 15.8%. In the latest quarter profit fell 100% versus the prior quarter.
At 52× earnings, the stock sits at the 67th percentile of its own 1.6-year range — the middle of where it has historically traded. Today's price already implies ~22%/yr earnings growth sustained for a decade — a demanding bar. The forensic screen raises a red flag: 213% 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.
2 of the 4 years shown had a loss — profitability is inconsistent. The latest year saw a +409% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from -28% to 2% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned. Interest or tax burden is shrinking — more of the operating profit is reaching the bottom line.
ROE at 16% — a respectable return on shareholder capital. High ROE despite single-digit margins — an asset-turn play with high capital velocity. Capital efficiency improving — ROE up 52pp across the window.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. Profit grew faster than EPS (409% vs -51%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. -51% 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.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue fell 29% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Wide quarterly swings (38% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate fading — recent quarters 19% below earlier ones.
3 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit fell 100% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 1.6y median.
Promoters hold just 27.9% — widely held; sentiment-driven.
