Revenue declined 74% 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 -165% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has compressed from 52% to -33% — costs or competition are eating into profitability. The gap between operating and net margin is widening — interest or tax costs are rising.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. -71% EPS CAGR — this is the rate at which each share's claim on earnings is compounding.
2 of 4 years had negative operating cash flow — profitability on paper may not translate to cash.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue fell 9% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Wide quarterly swings (43% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate fading — recent quarters 13% below earlier ones.
3 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit jumped 107% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly net margins are expanding (-24% → 22%) — profitability per rupee of revenue is improving.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3y median.
