Negative CAGR — the top line has shrunk over this window. 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 +166% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from -27% to 26% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned. Margins have declined for 2 consecutive years — watch for a structural cost problem.
ROE at 2% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Capital efficiency improving — ROE up 7pp across the window.
4 of 4 years had negative operating cash flow — profitability on paper may not translate to cash.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue rose 158% sequentially — momentum is building. Wide quarterly swings (100% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate fading — recent quarters 99% below earlier ones.
3 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit jumped 64% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly margins are compressing (-11% → -474%) — more revenue isn't translating to proportionally more profit.
P/E band unavailable — needs 5y of consistent EPS + price history.
Promoters hold 72.2% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game.
