Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A weak business — but carrying elevated distress risk.
Orissa Mineral Dev is scored on the commodity / cyclical framework. It keeps a thin -2.9% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Free cash flow is worth about 4.0% of its market value.
Return on equity is a weak 5.3%.
It trades at 609× earnings. Today's price already implies ~59%/yr earnings growth sustained for a decade — a demanding bar. The books come through clean — a forensic grade of A, and Altman puts distress risk in the distress zone.

31% CAGR over 3 years — high-growth territory. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
3 of the 4 years shown had a loss — profitability is inconsistent. The latest year saw a +93% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from -61% to -5% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned. The gap between operating and net margin is widening — interest or tax costs are rising.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play.
2 of 3 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 fell 6% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Wide quarterly swings (33% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 28% above earlier ones.
1 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit jumped 145% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item.
P/E band unavailable — needs 5y of consistent EPS + price history.
Promoter holding at 50.0% — majority control intact.
