Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A middling, stagnant business, priced for perfection — but flagged on governance.
Matrimony.com is scored on the it / services framework. It keeps a slim 7.1% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 2.21× reported profit. It throws off free cash worth 7.6% of its market value — a strong free-cash yield.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 0%/yr and profit at -10%/yr. Net worth has actually shrunk (-7%/yr) — value is not being built. Return on equity is a healthy 16.6%. In the latest quarter profit grew 97% versus the prior quarter.
At 34× earnings, the stock sits at the 97th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the expensive end of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~12%/yr earnings growth for a decade. The forensic screen raises a red flag: 55% of pre-tax profit is other income, not operations.

0% CAGR — growing but slowly.
Revenue is outpacing profit (0% vs -10%) — costs are rising faster than the top line.
Operating margin has compressed from 12% to 9% — costs or competition are eating into profitability.
ROE at 17% — a respectable return on shareholder capital. High ROE despite single-digit margins — an asset-turn play with high capital velocity. 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. -8% 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. Cash conversion at 2.2× PAT — earnings are well-backed by cash; strong accrual quality. 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 rose 12% sequentially — momentum is building.
Profit jumped 96% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly net margins are expanding (6% → 14%) — profitability per rupee of revenue is improving.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.6y median.
Promoter holding at 58.4% — majority control intact. Promoters added 1.5pp over 4 quarters — creeping acquisition signals conviction. MF stake down 2.8pp — domestic funds are booking profits or rebalancing out.
