Negative CAGR — the top line has shrunk over this window. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
4 of the 4 years shown had a loss — profitability is inconsistent. The latest year saw a -56% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from -71% to -60% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play.
3 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 40% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Wide quarterly swings (54% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate fading — recent quarters 27% below earlier ones.
4 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit fell 27% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly margins are compressing (-32% → -212%) — more revenue isn't translating to proportionally more profit.
P/E band unavailable — needs 5y of consistent EPS + price history.
Promoter holding at 62.9% — majority control intact.
