A weak business.
Zodiac Clothing is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a thin -20.1% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Free cash flow is worth about 2.9% of its market value.

Revenue declined 7% 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.
3 of the 4 years shown had a loss — profitability is inconsistent.
Operating margin has compressed from 8% to -19% — costs or competition are eating into profitability.
Negative ROE — the business is destroying shareholder value. Capital efficiency declining — ROE down 25pp.
2 of 4 years had negative operating cash flow — profitability on paper may not translate to cash. 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 fell 27% QoQ — could be seasonality or a genuine slowdown.
4 of 4 quarters loss-making — quarterly profitability is uneven. Profit fell 69% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters. Quarterly net margins are expanding (-30% → -25%) — profitability per rupee of revenue is improving.
P/E band unavailable — needs 5y of consistent EPS + price history.
Promoters hold 72.9% — heavily owner-operated with strong skin in the game.
