A decent business.
Cinevista is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a fat 25.4% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 1.94× reported profit. It throws off free cash worth 15.3% of its market value — a strong free-cash yield.
Net worth has actually shrunk (-14%/yr) — value is not being built. Return on equity is a weak 7.1%. In the latest quarter profit fell 41% versus the prior quarter.
It trades at 13× earnings. Today's price asks for only ~3%/yr growth over a decade — undemanding expectations. The books come through clean — a forensic grade of A, and Altman puts distress risk in the safe zone.

114% 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 +119% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
ROE at 11% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Capital efficiency improving — ROE up 42pp across the window.
2 of 4 years had negative operating cash flow — profitability on paper may not translate to cash. Cash conversion at 1.9× PAT — earnings are well-backed by cash; strong accrual quality. 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 32% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Wide quarterly swings (38% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate fading — recent quarters 19% below earlier ones.
Profit fell 41% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly margins are compressing (43% → 12%) — more revenue isn't translating to proportionally more profit.
P/E band unavailable — needs 5y of consistent EPS + price history.
Promoters hold 67.5% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game.
