A weak business, trading cheap versus its own history.
INDO-NATIONAL is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a thin -5.8% of every rupee of sales as net profit. It throws off free cash worth 24.5% of its market value — a strong free-cash yield.
Book value has grown 6%/yr. Return on equity is a weak -8.7%.
At 2× earnings, the stock sits at the 1st percentile of its own 2-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. The books come through clean — a forensic grade of A, and Altman puts distress risk in the safe zone.

Revenue is on a 2-year growth streak. Negative CAGR — the top line has shrunk over this window. Growth is decelerating — latest year grew slower than the year before.
2 of the 4 years shown had a loss — profitability is inconsistent. The latest year saw a -122% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has compressed from -1% to -6% — costs or competition are eating into profitability.
Negative ROE — the business is destroying shareholder value. Capital efficiency declining — ROE down 6pp.
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. 1186% EPS CAGR — this is the rate at which each share's claim on earnings is compounding.
1 of 4 years had negative operating cash flow — profitability on paper may not translate to cash. 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 8% sequentially — momentum is building.
2 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit jumped 110% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 2y median.
