A weak business, trading cheap versus its own history — but flagged on governance.
Balaji Telefilms is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a thin -22.4% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Free cash flow is worth about -0.1% of its market value.
Book value itself has compounded 15%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a weak -7.9%.
At 9× earnings, the stock sits at the 6th percentile of its own 2-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. The forensic screen raises a red flag: Only ₹-0.15 of cash per ₹1 profit over 4 years — earnings not converting to cash.

Revenue declined 53% 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.
2 of the 4 years shown had a loss — profitability is inconsistent. The latest year saw a -159% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has compressed from -4% to -29% — costs or competition are eating into profitability. Interest or tax burden is shrinking — more of the operating profit is reaching the bottom line.
Negative ROE — the business is destroying shareholder value.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. Profit grew faster than EPS (336% vs 329%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. 329% 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.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue rose 398% sequentially — momentum is building. Wide quarterly swings (82% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 208% above earlier ones.
3 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit jumped 258% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly net margins are expanding (-10% → 9%) — profitability per rupee of revenue is improving.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 2y median.
