A weak business — but flagged on governance.
Zomato is scored on the general / industrial framework. It keeps a thin 0.7% of every rupee of sales as net profit. Those profits are backed by real cash — operating cash flow runs 1.73× reported profit. Free cash flow is worth about 0.4% of its market value.
Book value itself has compounded 17%/yr — the hallmark of a genuine compounder. Return on equity is a weak 1.2%. In the latest quarter profit fell 47% versus the prior quarter.
It trades at 712× earnings. The forensic screen raises a red flag: 227% of pre-tax profit is other income, not operations.

Revenue has grown every year across all 4 financial years shown. 93% CAGR over 3 years — high-growth territory. Growth is accelerating — latest year outpaced the prior year's rate.
1 of the 4 years shown had a loss — profitability is inconsistent. The latest year saw a -31% swing — check if it's a one-off or structural.
Operating margin has expanded from -13% to 1% — the business is keeping more of each rupee earned.
ROE at 1% — modest; the capital isn't working hard. Capital efficiency improving — ROE up 6pp across the window.
EPS dropped in the latest year despite possible profit changes — dilution or a profit dip could be at play. Profit grew faster than EPS (2% vs -1%) — share dilution is eroding per-share value. -1% 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. Cash conversion at 1.7× PAT — earnings are well-backed by cash; strong accrual quality.
When operating cash keeps pace with reported profit, earnings are cash-backed; a persistent shortfall is a quality flag.
Revenue rose 17% sequentially — momentum is building. Wide quarterly swings (32% spread) — likely seasonality, lumpy orders, or project-based revenue. Run-rate stepping up — recent quarters average 25% above earlier ones.
Profit fell 47% QoQ — one-quarter drops can be noise, but a pattern matters.
P/E band unavailable — needs 5y of consistent EPS + price history.
FIIs trimmed 10.0pp — foreign money is rotating out. MF holding up 7.0pp — domestic institutional discovery underway.
