A weak business, trading cheap versus its own history.
Bajaj Elect is scored on the consumer / fmcg framework. It keeps a thin -2.0% of every rupee of sales as net profit. It throws off free cash worth 7.5% of its market value — a strong free-cash yield.
Net worth has actually shrunk (-6%/yr) — value is not being built. Return on equity is a weak -1.5%.
At 30× earnings, the stock sits at the 1st percentile of its own 3-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. The books come through clean — a forensic grade of A, and Altman puts distress risk in the safe zone.

Revenue declined 7% 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.
1 of the 4 years shown had a loss — profitability is inconsistent. The latest year saw a -168% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has compressed from 6% to -2% — costs or competition are eating into profitability. Margins have declined for 3 consecutive years — watch for a structural cost problem.
Negative ROE — the business is destroying shareholder value. Capital efficiency declining — ROE down 17pp.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. -22% EPS CAGR — this is the rate at which each share's claim on earnings is compounding.
Operating cash flow has been positive every year — the business generates real cash, not just accounting profit. Heavy investing spend every year, but operations generate enough to cover it — the business self-funds its growth. Financing outflows in consecutive years — balance-sheet discipline through debt repayment or dividends.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue fell 11% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 8% above earlier ones.
2 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit jumped 172% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly net margins are expanding (1% → 4%) — profitability per rupee of revenue is improving.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3y median.
Promoter holding at 62.7% — majority control intact.
