Revenue has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. 31% CAGR over 3 years — high-growth territory.
Profit is on a 2-year growth streak. Revenue is outpacing profit (31% vs 26%) — costs are rising faster than the top line.
Operating margin has compressed from 30% to 26% — costs or competition are eating into profitability.
ROE at 14% — a respectable return on shareholder capital.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. Profit grew faster than EPS (26% vs -21%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. -21% EPS CAGR — this is the rate at which each share's claim on earnings is compounding.
3 of 4 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 fell 11% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Wide quarterly swings (38% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 35% above earlier ones.
1 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit fell 15% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly net margins are expanding (27% → 36%) — 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.
Promoters hold 66.7% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game.
