Negative CAGR — the top line has shrunk over this window. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
4 of the 4 years shown had a loss — profitability is inconsistent.
Operating margin has expanded from -18% to -2% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned. The gap between operating and net margin is widening — interest or tax costs are rising.
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.
1 of 4 years had negative operating cash flow — profitability on paper may not translate to cash. Raising capital despite positive cash flow — could signal expansion plans or opportunistic fundraising.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue broadly flat QoQ — stable but not accelerating. Wide quarterly swings (30% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 33% above earlier ones.
4 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit jumped 88% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly net margins are expanding (-17% → -2%) — profitability per rupee of revenue is improving.
P/E band unavailable — needs 5y of consistent EPS + price history.
Promoters hold 72.1% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game.
