A weak business, trading cheap versus its own history.
RKEC Projects is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a thin -18.6% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Free cash flow is worth about -63.8% of its market value.

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 -273% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has compressed from 9% to -25% — 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.
Negative ROE — the business is destroying shareholder value. Capital efficiency declining — ROE down 29pp.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. 27% 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.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue fell 56% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Wide quarterly swings (56% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate fading — recent quarters 9% below earlier ones.
2 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit jumped 58% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly margins are compressing (5% → -92%) — 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 3y median.
Promoter holding at 57.7% — majority control intact. Promoters reduced 9.1pp over 4 quarters — watch whether this is planned divestment or pledge invocations.
