A weak business, fully valued.
Heranba Industries is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a thin -4.8% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Free cash flow is worth about -30.6% of its market value.

At 217× earnings, the stock sits at the 68th percentile of its own 3-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.

6% CAGR — growing but slowly.
1 of the 4 years shown had a loss — profitability is inconsistent. The latest year saw a -3547% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has compressed from 10% to -4% — costs or competition are eating into profitability. Interest or tax burden is shrinking — more of the operating profit is reaching the bottom line. Margins have declined for 3 consecutive years — watch for a structural cost problem.
Negative ROE — the business is destroying shareholder value. Capital efficiency declining — ROE down 23pp.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. EPS outpaced profit growth — possible buybacks are concentrating earnings into fewer shares. -83% EPS CAGR — this is the rate at which each share's claim on earnings is compounding.
1 of 3 years had negative operating cash flow — profitability on paper may not translate to cash. 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 24% sequentially — momentum is building. Wide quarterly swings (41% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate fading — recent quarters 15% below earlier ones.
3 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit jumped 112% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly net margins are expanding (-0% → 2%) — profitability per rupee of revenue is improving.

Promoters hold 74.9% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game.
