Negative CAGR — the top line has shrunk over this window. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
4 of the 4 years shown had a loss — profitability is inconsistent. The latest year saw a +68% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from -10% to -7% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
Negative ROE — the business is destroying shareholder value. Capital efficiency improving — ROE up 11pp across the window.
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 28% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Wide quarterly swings (36% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 11% above earlier ones.
3 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit fell 694% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly margins are compressing (-4% → -11%) — more revenue isn't translating to proportionally more profit.
P/E band unavailable — needs 5y of consistent EPS + price history.
Promoters hold 75.0% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game.
