Revenue is on a 2-year growth streak. 1% CAGR — growing but slowly. Growth is decelerating — latest year grew slower than the year before.
Revenue is outpacing profit (1% vs -25%) — costs are rising faster than the top line. The latest year saw a -57% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has compressed from 74% to 32% — costs or competition are eating into profitability. Interest or tax burden is shrinking — more of the operating profit is reaching the bottom line. Margins have declined for 3 consecutive years — watch for a structural cost problem.
ROE at 0% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Low variance across years — a predictable business that earns steadily on its equity base.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. Profit grew faster than EPS (-25% vs -50%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. -50% EPS CAGR — this is the rate at which each share's claim on earnings is compounding.
1 of 4 years had negative operating cash flow — profitability on paper may not translate to cash. Cash conversion at 20.6× PAT — earnings are well-backed by cash; strong accrual quality. Investing outflows exceed operating cash — the company relies on external funding to finance expansion.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue fell 67% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Wide quarterly swings (89% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate fading — recent quarters 69% below earlier ones.
1 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit fell 3119% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly margins are compressing (39% → -238%) — 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 3.6y median.
Promoter holding at 58.7% — majority control intact.
