A decent, fast-growing business, trading cheap versus its own history.
The Investment Trust of India is scored on the nbfc / financials framework. It keeps a healthy 12.2% of every rupee of sales as net profit.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at -2%/yr and profit at 44%/yr. Book value has grown 4%/yr. Return on equity is a weak 4.2%. In the latest quarter profit grew 103% versus the prior quarter.

Not applicable for this sector.
Revenue declined 19% 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.
Profit is on a 2-year growth streak. Profit is growing faster than revenue (44% vs -2%) — margin expansion is at work.
Operating margin has expanded from 7% to 16% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 5% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Low variance across years — a predictable business that earns steadily on its equity base.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. Profit grew faster than EPS (44% vs 38%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. 38% EPS CAGR — this is the rate at which each share's claim on earnings is compounding.
3 of 4 years had negative operating cash flow — profitability on paper may not translate to cash.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue rose 12% sequentially — momentum is building. Wide quarterly swings (35% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate fading — recent quarters 30% below earlier ones.
Profit jumped 103% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly net margins are expanding (7% → 21%) — profitability per rupee of revenue is improving.
