Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A weak business, trading cheap versus its own history — but carrying elevated distress risk.
ELECTROTHERM is scored on the commodity / cyclical framework. It keeps a thin -0.4% of every rupee of sales as net profit. It throws off free cash worth 29.4% of its market value — a strong free-cash yield.
Return on equity is an elite 25.0%. In the latest quarter profit fell 49% versus the prior quarter.
At 2× earnings, the stock sits at the 1st percentile of its own 2-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. The books come through clean — a forensic grade of B, and Altman puts distress risk in the distress zone.

Revenue declined 10% in the latest year — a break from prior trajectory. 6% CAGR — growing but slowly. Growth is decelerating — latest year grew slower than the year before.
2 of the 4 years shown had a loss — profitability is inconsistent. The latest year saw a -104% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margins have been stable around -1% — no major structural shift.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. 39% EPS CAGR — this is the rate at which each share's claim on earnings is compounding.
Operating cash flow has been positive every year — the business generates real cash, not just accounting profit. Heavy investing spend every year, but operations generate enough to cover it — the business self-funds its growth. 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 20% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 20% above earlier ones.
2 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit fell 49% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly net margins are expanding (-3% → 1%) — profitability per rupee of revenue is improving.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 2y median.
Promoters hold just 29.8% — widely held; sentiment-driven. FII stake up 5.3pp over 4 quarters — growing foreign interest.
