A weak business, fairly priced.
Entertain Net. Ind is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a thin -1.2% of every rupee of sales as net profit. It throws off free cash worth 17.8% of its market value — a strong free-cash yield.
Book value has grown 9%/yr. Return on equity is a weak 0.1%. In the latest quarter profit fell 173% versus the prior quarter.
At 42× earnings, the stock sits at the 55th percentile of its own 2-year range — the middle of where it has historically traded. The books come through clean — a forensic grade of A, and Altman puts distress risk in the safe zone.

Revenue has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. 4% CAGR — growing but slowly.
2 of the 4 years shown had a loss — profitability is inconsistent. The latest year saw a -162% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from -31% to -5% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned. Interest or tax burden is shrinking — more of the operating profit is reaching the bottom line.
Negative ROE — the business is destroying shareholder value. Capital efficiency improving — ROE up 27pp across the window.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. -64% 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 fading — recent quarters 14% below earlier ones.
3 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit fell 173% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly margins are compressing (-3% → -5%) — more revenue isn't translating to proportionally more profit.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 2y median.
Promoters hold 71.2% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game. MF stake down 2.4pp — domestic funds are booking profits or rebalancing out.
