Revenue has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. 62% CAGR over 3 years — high-growth territory. 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 -291% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from -75% to -17% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned. 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 improving — ROE up 21pp across the window.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play.
Operating cash flow has been positive every year — the business generates real cash, not just accounting profit. 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 12% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Wide quarterly swings (42% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 29% above earlier ones.
2 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit fell 376% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly net margins are expanding (-29% → -22%) — profitability per rupee of revenue is improving.
P/E band unavailable — needs 5y of consistent EPS + price history.
Promoters hold 68.2% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game. Promoters reduced 1.4pp over 4 quarters — watch whether this is planned divestment or pledge invocations.
