A weak business.
Chemplast Sanmar is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a thin -6.6% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Free cash flow is worth about 1.9% of its market value.
Net worth has actually shrunk (-2%/yr) — value is not being built. Return on equity is a weak -12.4%.
It trades at -10× earnings. The books come through clean — a forensic grade of A, and Altman puts distress risk in the safe zone.

Revenue declined 3% 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.
3 of the 4 years shown had a loss — profitability is inconsistent. The latest year saw a -154% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has compressed from 3% 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. Capital efficiency declining — ROE down 24pp.
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.
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. Wide quarterly swings (33% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 27% above earlier ones.
4 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit fell 287% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly margins are compressing (-5% → -16%) — more revenue isn't translating to proportionally more profit.
P/E band unavailable — needs 5y of consistent EPS + price history.
Promoter holding at 55.0% — majority control intact. FIIs trimmed 2.5pp — foreign money is rotating out. MF stake down 2.4pp — domestic funds are booking profits or rebalancing out.
