Negative CAGR — the top line has shrunk over this window.
4 of the 4 years shown had a loss — profitability is inconsistent. The latest year saw a -82% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has compressed from -1% to -11% — costs or competition are eating into profitability.
Negative ROE — the business is destroying shareholder value. Capital efficiency declining — ROE down 11pp.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play.
Operating cash flow has been positive every year — the business generates real cash, not just accounting profit. 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.
4 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit fell 52% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly net margins are expanding (-14% → -12%) — profitability per rupee of revenue is improving.
P/E band unavailable — needs 5y of consistent EPS + price history.
Promoters at 46.6% — dispersed ownership; institutional flows drive the stock. FIIs trimmed 8.3pp — foreign money is rotating out.
