Revenue has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. 7% CAGR — growing but slowly.
Revenue is outpacing profit (7% vs -40%) — costs are rising faster than the top line.
Operating margin has compressed from 16% to 6% — 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.
ROE at 6% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Capital efficiency declining — ROE down 29pp.
-40% 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 4.1× 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 9% sequentially — momentum is building.
Profit jumped 149% 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.
