Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A weak, stagnant business, fully valued — but flagged on governance.
NIIT is scored on the it / services framework. It keeps a thin 1.3% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 1.18× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about 1.1% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 6%/yr and profit at -11%/yr. Book value has been broadly flat (2.3%/yr). Return on equity is a weak 1.0%. In the latest quarter profit fell 124% versus the prior quarter.
At 181× earnings, the stock sits at the 68th percentile of its own 3.2-year range — the middle of where it has historically traded. Today's price already implies ~37%/yr earnings growth sustained for a decade — a demanding bar. The forensic screen raises a red flag: 544% of pre-tax profit is other income, not operations.

6% CAGR — growing but slowly. Growth is decelerating — latest year grew slower than the year before.
Profit is on a 2-year growth streak. Revenue is outpacing profit (6% vs -11%) — costs are rising faster than the top line. The latest year saw a -88% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has compressed from 4% to 3% — costs or competition are eating into profitability.
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 dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. EPS outpaced profit growth — possible buybacks are concentrating earnings into fewer shares. 18% 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 9% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown.
2 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit fell 124% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly margins are compressing (4% → -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 3.2y median.
Promoters at 41.8% — dispersed ownership; institutional flows drive the stock. Promoters added 4.8pp over 4 quarters — creeping acquisition signals conviction. FIIs trimmed 3.1pp — foreign money is rotating out.
