A weak business, fairly priced — but flagged on governance.
Laxmi Cotspin is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a thin -0.8% of every rupee of sales as net profit. It throws off free cash worth 28.6% of its market value — a strong free-cash yield.
Book value has grown 5%/yr. Return on equity is a weak -3.1%.
At 45× earnings, the stock sits at the 40th percentile of its own 2.6-year range — the middle of where it has historically traded. The forensic screen raises a red flag: 968% of pre-tax profit is other income, not operations.

Revenue is on a 2-year growth streak. 2% CAGR — growing but slowly.
3 of the 4 years shown had a loss — profitability is inconsistent. The latest year saw a -361% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from -5% to -0% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 1% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Capital efficiency improving — ROE up 13pp across the window.
EPS has grown every year — each share earns more than the last, consistently.
1 of 4 years had negative operating cash flow — profitability on paper may not translate to cash. Heavy investing spend every year, but operations generate enough to cover it — the business self-funds its growth. 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. Wide quarterly swings (69% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate fading — recent quarters 57% below earlier ones.
3 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit jumped 69% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly margins are compressing (1% → -2%) — 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 2.6y median.
Promoter holding at 58.6% — majority control intact.
