A weak business — but flagged on governance.
Johnson Controls Hitachi is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a thin -0.1% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Free cash flow is worth about 0.4% of its market value.
Net worth has actually shrunk (-9%/yr) — value is not being built. Return on equity is a weak 1.8%. In the latest quarter profit fell 44% versus the prior quarter.
It trades at 1552× earnings. The forensic screen raises a red flag: 48600% of pre-tax profit is other income, not operations.

Revenue declined 2% in the latest year — a break from prior trajectory. 4% CAGR — growing but slowly. Growth is decelerating — latest year grew slower than the year before.
3 of the 4 years shown had a loss — profitability is inconsistent. The latest year saw a -105% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from -4% to 0% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
Negative ROE — the business is destroying shareholder value. Capital efficiency improving — ROE up 12pp across the window.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play.
1 of 4 years had negative operating cash flow — profitability on paper may not translate to cash. 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 rose 14% sequentially — momentum is building. Wide quarterly swings (62% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 131% above earlier ones.
2 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit fell 44% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly net margins are expanding (-10% → 2%) — profitability per rupee of revenue is improving.
P/E band unavailable — needs 5y of consistent EPS + price history.
Promoters hold 74.5% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game. Promoters reduced 7.7pp over 4 quarters — watch whether this is planned divestment or pledge invocations. MF holding up 4.7pp — domestic institutional discovery underway.
