Paras Petrofils Limited is an India-based company. The Company has no operation nor generated any revenue.
Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A weak business, priced for perfection — but flagged on governance.
PARAS PETROFILS LTD. is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a thin -23.3% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Free cash flow is worth about -0.1% of its market value.
Net worth has actually shrunk (-5%/yr) — value is not being built. Return on equity is a weak -1.7%.
At 280× earnings, the stock sits at the 93rd percentile of its own 1.3-year range — the expensive end of where it has historically traded. The forensic screen raises 2 red flags: 1556% of pre-tax profit is other income, not operations; Share count up 29% over 3 years — heavy equity dilution.

Revenue has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. 7% CAGR — growing but slowly.
2 of the 4 years shown had a loss — profitability is inconsistent. The latest year saw a -538% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has compressed from 28% to -23% — costs or competition are eating into profitability.
ROE at 0% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Low variance across years — a predictable business that earns steadily on its equity base.
1 of 3 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 fell 8% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Wide quarterly swings (40% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue.
1 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit jumped 110% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly margins are compressing (96% → 38%) — more revenue isn't translating to proportionally more profit.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 1.3y median.
Promoters at 40.2% — dispersed ownership; institutional flows drive the stock.
