Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A middling business, fairly priced — but flagged on governance.
SAMBHAAV MEDIA is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a thin 0.2% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 100.25× reported profit. It throws off free cash worth 9.2% of its market value — a strong free-cash yield.
Book value has been broadly flat (0.1%/yr). Return on equity is a weak -1.9%.
At 267× earnings, the stock sits at the 50th percentile of its own 2-year range — the middle of where it has historically traded. The forensic screen raises a red flag: 109% of pre-tax profit is other income, not operations.

1% CAGR — growing but slowly.
2 of the 4 years shown had a loss — profitability is inconsistent. The latest year saw a +233% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from -1% to 2% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned. Interest or tax burden is shrinking — more of the operating profit is reaching the bottom line.
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. EPS outpaced profit growth — possible buybacks are concentrating earnings into fewer shares. -42% EPS CAGR — this is the rate at which each share's claim on earnings is compounding.
Operating cash flow has been positive every year — the business generates real cash, not just accounting profit. Cash conversion at 100.2× 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 rose 13% sequentially — momentum is building. Run-rate fading — recent quarters 13% below earlier ones.
2 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit jumped 88% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly margins are compressing (2% → -2%) — 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 2y median.
Promoter holding at 62.9% — majority control intact.
