Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A decent, stagnant business, priced for perfection — but flagged on governance.
CAMBRIDGE TECHNOLOGY is scored on the it / services framework. It keeps a thin 0.3% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 74.33× reported profit. It throws off free cash worth 44.8% of its market value — a strong free-cash yield.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at -0%/yr and profit at -61%/yr. Net worth has actually shrunk (-7%/yr) — value is not being built. Return on equity is a weak 0.6%. In the latest quarter profit grew 84% versus the prior quarter.
At 150× earnings, the stock sits at the 91st percentile of its own 2.6-year range — the expensive end of where it has historically traded. Today's price asks for only ~0%/yr growth over a decade — undemanding expectations. The forensic screen raises a red flag: 211% of pre-tax profit is other income, not operations.

Revenue declined 10% 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.
1 of the 4 years shown had a loss — profitability is inconsistent. The latest year saw a +101% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has compressed from 6% to 1% — costs or competition are eating into profitability. Margins have declined for 2 consecutive years — watch for a structural cost problem.
ROE at 1% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Capital efficiency declining — ROE down 8pp.
-76% 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. Cash conversion at 74.3× 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 rose 26% sequentially — momentum is building.
1 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit jumped 84% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly net margins are expanding (-12% → 14%) — profitability per rupee of revenue is improving.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 2.6y median.
Promoter holding at 57.1% — majority control intact. Promoters added 6.2pp over 4 quarters — creeping acquisition signals conviction.
