Revenue has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. 15% CAGR over 3 years — steady double-digit compounder. Growth is decelerating — latest year grew slower than the year before.
Profit is on a 2-year growth streak. Profit is growing faster than revenue (35% vs 15%) — margin expansion is at work.
Operating margin has expanded from 18% to 20% — 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.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. 34% EPS CAGR — this is the rate at which each share's claim on earnings is compounding.
2 of 4 years had negative operating cash flow — profitability on paper may not translate to cash. 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 rose 6% sequentially — momentum is building. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 8% above earlier ones.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.6y median.
Promoters hold just 7.9% — widely held; sentiment-driven.
