Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A weak business, priced for perfection.
Orissa Bengal Carrier is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a thin -2.2% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Free cash flow is worth about -3.9% of its market value.
Net worth has actually shrunk (-3%/yr) — value is not being built. Return on equity is a weak -2.3%. In the latest quarter profit grew 251% versus the prior quarter.
At 50× earnings, the stock sits at the 83rd percentile of its own 2-year range — the expensive 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 has grown every year across all 3 financial years shown. 2% CAGR — growing but slowly.
1 of the 3 years shown had a loss — profitability is inconsistent. The latest year saw a -439% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has compressed from 2% to -2% — costs or competition are eating into profitability. Margins have declined for 2 consecutive years — watch for a structural cost problem.
Negative ROE — the business is destroying shareholder value. Capital efficiency declining — ROE down 13pp.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. -37% EPS CAGR — this is the rate at which each share's claim on earnings is compounding.
1 of 3 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. 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 13% sequentially — momentum is building.
2 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit jumped 251% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly net margins are expanding (-3% → 4%) — profitability per rupee of revenue is improving.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 2y median.
Promoters hold 74.1% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game. Promoters added 4.3pp over 4 quarters — creeping acquisition signals conviction.
