A weak business.
UCAL FUEL SYSTEMS is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a thin -4.0% of every rupee of sales as net profit. It throws off free cash worth 47.5% of its market value — a strong free-cash yield.
Net worth has actually shrunk (-6%/yr) — value is not being built. Return on equity is a weak 2.1%. In the latest quarter profit grew 40% versus the prior quarter.
It trades at -36× earnings. The books come through clean — a forensic grade of A, and Altman puts distress risk in the safe zone.

0% CAGR — growing but slowly. 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 -105% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has compressed from 1% to -3% — costs or competition are eating into profitability.
Negative ROE — the business is destroying shareholder value. Capital efficiency declining — ROE down 10pp.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play.
Operating cash flow has been positive every year — the business generates real cash, not just accounting profit. 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 rose 13% sequentially — momentum is building.
2 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit jumped 40% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly net margins are expanding (-5% → 4%) — profitability per rupee of revenue is improving.
P/E band unavailable — needs 5y of consistent EPS + price history.
Promoters hold 70.3% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game.
