A decent, stagnant business, trading cheap versus its own history.
Nucleus Software Exports is scored on the it / services framework. It keeps a healthy 12.4% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash broadly tracks reported profit (CFO/PAT 1.01×). Free cash flow is worth about 3.9% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 12%/yr and profit at -3%/yr. Book value has grown 14%/yr. Return on equity is a modest 10.9%. In the latest quarter profit fell 11% versus the prior quarter.
At 14× earnings, the stock sits at the 13th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price implies ~6%/yr earnings growth for a decade. The books come through clean — a forensic grade of A, and Altman puts distress risk in the safe zone.

Revenue has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. 12% CAGR over 3 years — steady double-digit compounder.
Revenue is outpacing profit (12% vs -3%) — costs are rising faster than the top line.
Operating margin has compressed from 26% to 16% — costs or competition are eating into profitability. Interest or tax burden is shrinking — more of the operating profit is reaching the bottom line.
ROE at 13% — a respectable return on shareholder capital. Capital efficiency declining — ROE down 8pp.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. -2% 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. Heavy investing spend every year, but operations generate enough to cover it — the business self-funds its growth. 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 7% sequentially — momentum is building. Low quarterly variance (6% spread) — a predictable, non-seasonal revenue stream.
Profit fell 11% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.6y median.
Promoters hold 73.6% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game. FIIs trimmed 2.4pp — foreign money is rotating out.
