Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A weak, stagnant business, priced for perfection.
Salona Cotspin is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a thin 0.3% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 50.81× reported profit. It throws off free cash worth 50.2% of its market value — a strong free-cash yield.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 7%/yr and profit at -55%/yr. Book value has grown 4%/yr. Return on equity is a weak 1.9%.
At 88× earnings, the stock sits at the 90th percentile of its own 3.6-year range — the expensive end of where it has historically traded. Today's price already implies ~24%/yr earnings growth sustained for a decade — a demanding bar. The books come through clean — a forensic grade of A, and Altman puts distress risk in the safe zone.

Revenue declined 10% in the latest year — a break from prior trajectory. 7% CAGR — growing but slowly.
Revenue is outpacing profit (7% vs -55%) — costs are rising faster than the top line. The latest year saw a -50% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has compressed from 4% to 1% — costs or competition are eating into profitability. Margins have declined for 3 consecutive years — watch for a structural cost problem.
ROE at 2% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Capital efficiency declining — ROE down 22pp.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. -55% EPS CAGR — this is the rate at which each share's claim on earnings is compounding.
2 of 4 years had negative operating cash flow — profitability on paper may not translate to cash. Cash conversion at 50.8× PAT — earnings are well-backed by cash; strong accrual quality. Heavy investing spend every year, but operations generate enough to cover it — the business self-funds its growth.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue rose 78% sequentially — momentum is building. Wide quarterly swings (44% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue.
1 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit jumped 265% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3.6y median.
Promoters hold 68.4% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game.
