A high-quality business, trading cheap versus its own history.
Goa Carbon is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a thin -6.8% of every rupee of sales as net profit. It throws off free cash worth 19.3% of its market value — a strong free-cash yield.
Net worth has actually shrunk (-3%/yr) — value is not being built. Return on equity is a modest 11.9%. In the latest quarter profit fell 247% versus the prior quarter.
At 5× earnings, the stock sits at the 6th percentile of its own 2-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price asks for only ~2%/yr growth over a decade — undemanding expectations. The books come through clean — a forensic grade of A, and Altman puts distress risk in the safe zone.

Negative CAGR — the top line has shrunk over this window. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
2 of the 4 years shown had a loss — profitability is inconsistent. The latest year saw a -119% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has compressed from 8% to -6% — costs or competition are eating into profitability.
Negative ROE — the business is destroying shareholder value. Capital efficiency declining — ROE down 72pp.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. 6% 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. 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 65% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Wide quarterly swings (65% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate fading — recent quarters 11% below earlier ones.
3 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit fell 247% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly net margins are expanding (-20% → -9%) — 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.
Promoter holding at 59.7% — majority control intact.
