Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A weak business, trading cheap versus its own history.
Symphony is scored on the consumer / fmcg framework. It keeps a thin -11.8% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Free cash flow is worth about 3.1% of its market value.
Net worth has actually shrunk (-15%/yr) — value is not being built. Return on equity is a weak -0.2%. In the latest quarter profit fell 40% versus the prior quarter.
At 23× earnings, the stock sits at the 1st percentile of its own 3-year range — the cheap 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 declined 27% in the latest year — a break from prior trajectory. Negative CAGR — the top line has shrunk over this window. 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 -166% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has compressed from 12% to -5% — costs or competition are eating into profitability. The gap between operating and net margin is widening — interest or tax costs are rising.
Negative ROE — the business is destroying shareholder value. Capital efficiency declining — ROE down 39pp.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. 36% EPS CAGR — this is the rate at which each share's claim on earnings is compounding.
1 of 4 years had negative operating cash flow — profitability on paper may not translate to cash. 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 fell 29% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown. Wide quarterly swings (38% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 13% above earlier ones.
1 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit fell 40% 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 3y median.
Promoters hold 73.4% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game. FIIs trimmed 3.1pp — foreign money is rotating out.
