A weak business, fully valued — but flagged on governance.
Asian Hotels (East) is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a thin -47.7% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Free cash flow is worth about 4.2% of its market value.
Net worth has actually shrunk (-3%/yr) — value is not being built. Return on equity is a weak -3.5%. In the latest quarter profit fell 42% versus the prior quarter.
At 14× earnings, the stock sits at the 79th percentile of its own 3-year range — the expensive end of where it has historically traded. The forensic screen raises a red flag: Only ₹-24.70 of cash per ₹1 profit over 4 years — earnings not converting to cash.

Revenue is on a 2-year growth streak. 9% CAGR — growing but slowly. Growth is decelerating — latest year grew slower than the year before.
1 of the 4 years shown had a loss — profitability is inconsistent. The latest year saw a -435% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has compressed from 30% to -40% — costs or competition are eating into profitability. 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 declining — ROE down 44pp.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. -15% EPS CAGR — this is the rate at which each share's claim on earnings is compounding.
1 of 3 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 20% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown.
2 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit fell 42% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly net margins are expanding (-27% → 16%) — profitability per rupee of revenue is improving.
