Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A weak business, fairly priced.
VIP Industries is scored on the consumer / fmcg framework. It keeps a thin -18.0% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Free cash flow is worth about 3.9% of its market value.
Net worth has actually shrunk (-23%/yr) — value is not being built. Return on equity is a weak -143.5%.
At 73× earnings, the stock sits at the 51st percentile of its own 2-year range — the middle 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 14% 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.
2 of the 4 years shown had a loss — profitability is inconsistent. The latest year saw a -391% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has compressed from 9% to -18% — costs or competition are eating into profitability. Interest or tax burden is shrinking — more of the operating profit is reaching the bottom line. Margins have declined for 3 consecutive years — watch for a structural cost problem.
Negative ROE — the business is destroying shareholder value. Capital efficiency declining — ROE down 141pp.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. -64% 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. Heavy investing spend every year, but operations generate enough to cover it — the business self-funds its growth. 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 32% sequentially — momentum is building. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 17% above earlier ones.
4 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit jumped 58% QoQ — check if this is operating leverage or a one-off item. Quarterly net margins are expanding (-34% → -9%) — profitability per rupee of revenue is improving.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 2y median.
Promoters at 42.4% — dispersed ownership; institutional flows drive the stock. FIIs trimmed 2.1pp — foreign money is rotating out.
