Revenue has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. 5% CAGR — growing but slowly. 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 -121% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has compressed from 8% to -3% — costs or competition are eating into profitability. Interest or tax burden is shrinking — more of the operating profit is reaching the bottom line.
Negative ROE — the business is destroying shareholder value. Capital efficiency declining — ROE down 8pp.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. 71% 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. Investing outflows exceed operating cash — the company relies on external funding to finance expansion. Raising capital despite positive cash flow — could signal expansion plans or opportunistic fundraising.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue rose 24% sequentially — momentum is building. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 16% above earlier ones.
1 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit jumped 162% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly net margins are expanding (16% → 26%) — profitability per rupee of revenue is improving.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 3y median.
Promoter holding at 60.0% — majority control intact. Promoters added 2.9pp over 4 quarters — creeping acquisition signals conviction.
