Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A weak business, priced for perfection.
SAPPHIRE FOODS INDIA LTD is scored on the consumer / fmcg framework. It keeps a thin -1.0% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Free cash flow is worth about 4.1% of its market value.
Book value has grown 4%/yr. Return on equity is a weak 1.0%. In the latest quarter profit fell 111% versus the prior quarter.
At 265× earnings, the stock sits at the 80th percentile of its own 2.5-year range — the expensive end of where it has historically traded. The books come through clean — a forensic grade of A, and Altman puts distress risk in the safe zone.

Revenue has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. 11% CAGR over 3 years — steady double-digit compounder.
1 of the 4 years shown had a loss — profitability is inconsistent. The latest year saw a -291% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has compressed from 5% to -1% — costs or competition are eating into profitability. The gap between operating and net margin is widening — interest or tax costs are rising. 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 21pp.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. Profit grew faster than EPS (-73% vs -90%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. -90% 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. Heavy investing spend every year, but operations generate enough to cover it — the business self-funds its growth. 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 broadly flat QoQ — stable but not accelerating. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 11% above earlier ones.
3 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit fell 111% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 2.5y median.
Promoters hold just 26.1% — widely held; sentiment-driven. FIIs trimmed 5.2pp — foreign money is rotating out. MF holding up 6.5pp — domestic institutional discovery underway.
