Recent developments

2026-09-07: The DocStoX verdict changed to 'hold' from 'avoid' as the score improved to 6.0, reflecting better earnings growth. 2026-06-30: Promoter holding stood at 60.75%, but has decreased over the last three years by 11.5%.

Financial performance

The company's business is shrinking, with annual revenue falling 32.2% and net profit dropping 44.8% year-on-year. The latest quarter shows revenue fell 13.3% compared to the same quarter a year earlier, but net profit remained flat at ₹1 crore. Margins have weakened, with the net profit margin down 0.4 percentage points to 1.6%, and returns remain low, with return on equity at 3.4%.

Valuation multiples

The stock trades at 14.9 times earnings, broadly in line with the Services median of 16.3, 0.51 times book value.

Things to watch

The company's earnings growth is weak, with annual net profit falling 44.8% and margins shrinking. The stock is significantly below its 52-week high, down 59.1%, and the company is not paying dividends despite reporting profits. Earnings include non-operational income, which may not reflect core performance.

Where it stands

The DocStoX verdict of 'hold' follows from the company's weak business quality and low earnings growth, despite a recent improvement in the score. The most critical factor is the declining revenue and shrinking net profit, which suggest the business is not growing and may struggle to sustain current levels.
