Revenue has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. 54% CAGR over 3 years — high-growth territory. Growth is decelerating — latest year grew slower than the year before.
3 of the 4 years shown had a loss — profitability is inconsistent. The latest year saw a -446% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from -55% to -3% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
Negative ROE — the business is destroying shareholder value. Capital efficiency declining — ROE down 23pp.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play.
2 of 4 years had negative operating cash flow — profitability on paper may not translate to cash. Investing outflows exceed operating cash — the company relies on external funding to finance expansion.
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 fading — recent quarters 23% below earlier ones.
Profit fell 68% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters.
P/E band unavailable — needs 5y of consistent EPS + price history.
Promoters at 45.7% — dispersed ownership; institutional flows drive the stock. FIIs trimmed 3.4pp — foreign money is rotating out.
