Weekly engine runs — movement reflects the numbers, not analyst opinion.
A weak, fast-growing business, fairly priced — but flagged on governance.
ZEN TECHNOLOGIES is scored on the it / services framework. It keeps a fat 28.2% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Cash conversion lags the reported profit (CFO/PAT -0.67×) — worth a closer look. Free cash flow is worth about -6.0% of its market value.
Over the last 3 years revenue compounded at 51%/yr and profit at 63%/yr. Book value itself has compounded 81%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a modest 10.2%. In the latest quarter profit fell 33% versus the prior quarter.
At 83× earnings, the stock sits at the 56th percentile of its own 3.5-year range — the middle of where it has historically traded. Today's price already implies ~29%/yr earnings growth sustained for a decade — a demanding bar. The forensic screen raises a red flag: Only ₹-0.09 of cash per ₹1 profit over 4 years — earnings not converting to cash.

Revenue is on a 2-year growth streak. 51% CAGR over 3 years — high-growth territory. 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 (63% vs 51%) — margin expansion is at work.
Operating margin has expanded from 32% to 38% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 11% — modest; the capital isn't working hard.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. Profit grew faster than EPS (63% vs 59%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. 59% EPS CAGR — this is the rate at which each share's claim on earnings is compounding.
1 of 3 years had negative operating cash flow — profitability on paper may not translate to cash. Investing outflows exceed operating cash — the company relies on external funding to finance expansion.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue fell 20% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown.
Profit fell 33% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly margins are compressing (31% → 20%) — 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 3.5y median.
Promoters at 48.5% — dispersed ownership; institutional flows drive the stock. MF holding up 2.3pp — domestic institutional discovery underway. Both FII and MF added last quarter — broad institutional confidence.
