A decent business — but flagged on governance.
SADBHAV ENGINEERING is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a slim 8.9% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 7.91× reported profit.
Return on equity is an elite 27.8%. In the latest quarter profit fell 62% versus the prior quarter.
It trades at 1× earnings. Today's price asks for only ~-49%/yr growth over a decade — undemanding expectations. The forensic screen raises a red flag: 52% of pre-tax profit is other income, not operations.

Revenue declined 6% in the latest year — a break from prior trajectory. Negative CAGR — the top line has shrunk over this window. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
3 of the 4 years shown had a loss — profitability is inconsistent. The latest year saw a +157% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from -33% to 17% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned. The gap between operating and net margin is widening — interest or tax costs are rising.
Operating cash flow has been positive every year — the business generates real cash, not just accounting profit. Cash conversion at 7.9× PAT — earnings are well-backed by cash; strong accrual quality. Financing outflows in consecutive years — balance-sheet discipline through debt repayment or dividends.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue fell 6% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Run-rate fading — recent quarters 20% below earlier ones.
1 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit fell 62% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly net margins are expanding (9% → 20%) — profitability per rupee of revenue is improving.
P/E band unavailable — needs 5y of consistent EPS + price history.
Promoters hold just 25.5% — widely held; sentiment-driven.
