Revenue has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. 33% CAGR over 3 years — high-growth territory.
3 of the 4 years shown had a loss — profitability is inconsistent. The latest year saw a -198% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from -43% to -10% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned. 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 improving — ROE up 12pp across the window.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play.
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 broadly flat QoQ — stable but not accelerating. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 30% above earlier ones.
4 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit fell 98% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly margins are compressing (-5% → -32%) — more revenue isn't translating to proportionally more profit.
P/E band unavailable — needs 5y of consistent EPS + price history.
Promoters hold just 19.0% — widely held; sentiment-driven. Promoters reduced 1.3pp over 4 quarters — watch whether this is planned divestment or pledge invocations. FIIs trimmed 13.1pp — foreign money is rotating out. MF holding up 8.6pp — domestic institutional discovery underway.
