Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A middling, fast-growing business, trading cheap versus its own history — but carrying elevated distress risk.
GTL is scored on the general / industrial framework. Cash conversion lags the reported profit (CFO/PAT 0.29×) — worth a closer look.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 6%/yr and profit at 117%/yr. Return on equity is a weak -1.6%. In the latest quarter profit fell 47% versus the prior quarter.
At 0× earnings, the stock sits at the 5th percentile of its own 2.6-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price asks for only ~-30%/yr growth over a decade — undemanding expectations. The books come through clean — a forensic grade of B, and Altman puts distress risk in the distress zone.

Revenue is on a 2-year growth streak. 6% CAGR — growing but slowly. 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 +7052% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has compressed from 30% to 10% — costs or competition are eating into profitability. The gap between operating and net margin is widening — interest or tax costs are rising.
219% 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. Cash conversion at 0.3× PAT — reported profit isn't translating into cash, raising earnings quality questions. 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 broadly flat QoQ — stable but not accelerating. Low quarterly variance (9% spread) — a predictable, non-seasonal revenue stream.
2 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit fell 47% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly net margins are expanding (-70% → 534%) — profitability per rupee of revenue is improving.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 2.6y median.
Promoters hold just 14.3% — widely held; sentiment-driven.
