A weak business.
ABM INTERNATIONAL LTD is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a thin -3.9% of every rupee of sales as net profit. It throws off free cash worth 19.8% of its market value — a strong free-cash yield.
Net worth has actually shrunk (-14%/yr) — value is not being built. Return on equity is a weak -18.7%. In the latest quarter profit fell 60% versus the prior quarter.
It trades at -30× earnings. The books come through clean — a forensic grade of A, and Altman puts distress risk in the safe zone.

Revenue declined 32% in the latest year — a break from prior trajectory. Negative CAGR — the top line has shrunk over this window. Growth is decelerating — latest year grew slower than the year before.
4 of the 4 years shown had a loss — profitability is inconsistent. The latest year saw a -58% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from -10% to -4% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned. The gap between operating and net margin is widening — interest or tax costs are rising.
Negative ROE — the business is destroying shareholder value. Capital efficiency improving — ROE up 18pp across the window.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play.
3 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 27% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Wide quarterly swings (32% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue.
2 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit fell 60% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly net margins are expanding (-4% → 6%) — profitability per rupee of revenue is improving.
P/E band unavailable — needs 5y of consistent EPS + price history.
Promoters hold 74.7% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game.
