Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A weak business, fairly priced — but flagged on governance.
BPL is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a thin -10.7% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Free cash flow is worth about -41.3% of its market value.
Book value has been broadly flat (0.4%/yr). Return on equity is a weak -8.5%.
At 26× earnings, the stock sits at the 51st percentile of its own 2-year range — the middle of where it has historically traded. The forensic screen raises a red flag: Only ₹-6.36 of cash per ₹1 profit over 4 years — earnings not converting to cash.

Revenue is on a 2-year growth streak. 9% CAGR — growing but slowly. 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 -9600% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has compressed from 20% to -9% — 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. EPS outpaced profit growth — possible buybacks are concentrating earnings into fewer shares. -81% EPS CAGR — this is the rate at which each share's claim on earnings is compounding.
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 rose 8% sequentially — momentum is building. Low quarterly variance (8% spread) — a predictable, non-seasonal revenue stream.
3 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit jumped 69% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly margins are compressing (-1% → -16%) — more revenue isn't translating to proportionally more profit.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 2y median.
Promoter holding at 63.1% — majority control intact.
