Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A weak, stagnant business, trading cheap versus its own history — but flagged on governance.
Raj TV Network is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a thin 1.1% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 9.53× reported profit. It throws off free cash worth 20.2% of its market value — a strong free-cash yield.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at -6%/yr and profit at -11%/yr. Net worth has actually shrunk (-5%/yr) — value is not being built. Return on equity is a weak 0.6%. In the latest quarter profit fell 559% versus the prior quarter.
At 49× earnings, the stock sits at the 2nd percentile of its own 2.2-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. The forensic screen raises a red flag: 52% of pre-tax profit is other income, not operations.

Revenue is on a 2-year growth streak. Negative CAGR — the top line has shrunk over this window. Growth is decelerating — latest year grew slower than the year before.
1 of the 4 years shown had a loss — profitability is inconsistent. The latest year saw a +104% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margins have been stable around 2% — no major structural shift. Margins have declined for 2 consecutive years — watch for a structural cost problem.
ROE at 1% — modest; the capital isn't working hard.
-17% 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 9.5× PAT — earnings are well-backed by cash; strong accrual quality.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue fell 31% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Wide quarterly swings (31% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 14% above earlier ones.
1 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit fell 559% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly margins are compressing (1% → -7%) — 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 2.2y median.
Promoters hold 71.0% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game.
