Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A weak business, reasonably priced — but flagged on governance.
Jain Irrigation Systems is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a thin -0.6% of every rupee of sales as net profit. It throws off free cash worth 10.0% of its market value — a strong free-cash yield.
Book value has grown 4%/yr. Return on equity is a weak -0.4%.
At 60× earnings, the stock sits at the 34th percentile of its own 3-year range — the middle of where it has historically traded. The forensic screen raises a red flag: 70% of pre-tax profit is other income, not operations.

3% CAGR — growing but slowly. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
1 of the 4 years shown had a loss — profitability is inconsistent. The latest year saw a -256% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from -2% to 0% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned. The gap between operating and net margin is widening — interest or tax costs are rising.
Negative ROE — the business is destroying shareholder value. 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. -81% 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. 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 17% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 10% above earlier ones.
3 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Quarterly margins are compressing (1% → -1%) — 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 3y median.
Promoters hold just 26.7% — widely held; sentiment-driven.
