13% CAGR over 3 years — steady double-digit compounder. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
Net profit has risen every year — the hallmark of a compounder. Profit is growing faster than revenue (17% vs 13%) — margin expansion is at work. The latest year saw a +45% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from 89% to 99% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 1% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Low variance across years — a predictable business that earns steadily on its equity base.
EPS has grown every year — each share earns more than the last, consistently. 17% 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 10% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Wide quarterly swings (98% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate fading — recent quarters 96% below earlier ones.
Profit fell 17% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly margins are compressing (99% → 61%) — 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 3.6y median.
Promoter holding at 51.0% — majority control intact.
