Revenue declined 5% 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.
Revenue is outpacing profit (-4% vs -35%) — costs are rising faster than the top line. The latest year saw a -47% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has compressed from 31% to 13% — costs or competition are eating into profitability. Margins have declined for 3 consecutive years — watch for a structural cost problem.
ROE at 1% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Low variance across years — a predictable business that earns steadily on its equity base.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. -35% 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 8.2× PAT — earnings are well-backed by cash; strong accrual quality. Investing outflows exceed operating cash — the company relies on external funding to finance expansion.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue rose 157% sequentially — momentum is building. Wide quarterly swings (81% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate fading — recent quarters 60% below earlier ones.
1 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit jumped 145% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly margins are compressing (19% → 16%) — 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 3.6y median.
Promoters hold 66.6% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game.
