Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A middling, fast-growing business, trading cheap versus its own history — but flagged on governance.
Yatra is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a slim 4.5% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 1.63× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about 2.6% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 38%/yr and profit at 83%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 70%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a weak 5.6%. In the latest quarter profit fell 96% versus the prior quarter.
At 26× earnings, the stock sits at the 3rd percentile of its own 2.1-year range — the cheap end of where it has historically traded. Today's price already implies ~18%/yr earnings growth sustained for a decade — a demanding bar. The forensic screen raises 3 red flags: Only ₹-3.56 of cash per ₹1 profit over 4 years — earnings not converting to cash; 53% of pre-tax profit is other income, not operations; Share count up 42% over 4 years — heavy equity dilution.

Revenue has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. 37% CAGR over 3 years — high-growth territory. Growth is decelerating — latest year grew slower than the year before.
1 of the 4 years shown had a loss — profitability is inconsistent.
Operating margin has expanded from 3% to 5% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 6% — modest; the capital isn't working hard.
Profit grew faster than EPS (148% vs 108%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. 108% 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. Cash conversion at 1.6× PAT — earnings are well-backed by cash; strong accrual quality. 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 broadly flat QoQ — stable but not accelerating. Wide quarterly swings (46% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate fading — recent quarters 37% below earlier ones.
Profit fell 96% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly margins are compressing (4% → 0%) — more revenue isn't translating to proportionally more profit.
How today's P/E compares to the stock's own historical range. Dashed line = the 2.1y median.
Promoter holding at 62.7% — majority control intact. Promoters reduced 1.8pp over 4 quarters — watch whether this is planned divestment or pledge invocations.
