A weak business — but flagged on governance.
NORBEN TEA is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a thin -3.6% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Free cash flow is worth about -1.9% of its market value.
Book value has grown 8%/yr. Return on equity is a weak 1.9%. In the latest quarter profit grew 134% versus the prior quarter.
It trades at 217× earnings. Today's price already implies ~43%/yr earnings growth sustained for a decade — a demanding bar. The forensic screen raises a red flag: Share count up 24% over 4 years — heavy equity dilution.

1% CAGR — growing but slowly. Growth is decelerating — latest year grew slower than the year before.
3 of the 4 years shown had a loss — profitability is inconsistent. The latest year saw a -61% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has compressed from 4% to -2% — costs or competition are eating into profitability.
Negative ROE — the business is destroying shareholder value.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play.
Operating cash flow has been positive every year — the business generates real cash, not just accounting profit. Investing outflows exceed operating cash — the company relies on external funding to finance expansion. Raising capital despite positive cash flow — could signal expansion plans or opportunistic fundraising.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue rose 114% sequentially — momentum is building. Wide quarterly swings (57% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate fading — recent quarters 9% below earlier ones.
1 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit jumped 134% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly net margins are expanding (3% → 27%) — profitability per rupee of revenue is improving.
P/E band unavailable — needs 5y of consistent EPS + price history.
Promoters at 38.9% — dispersed ownership; institutional flows drive the stock.
