The four quality checks

Every company faces the same four checks. Tap the ? on any term to learn what it means.

01

Is the company drowning in loans?

We check how much the company has borrowed versus its own money. Too much debt makes a business fragile when times get tough.

Divergent

The company leans heavily on borrowed money, which adds risk if conditions worsen.

D/E 1.09goal < 0.5
02

Does it make good money, consistently?

We look at how much profit the company squeezes out of its owners' money, averaged over three years — not just one lucky quarter.

Watch

Profitability is decent but not quite at the level we'd call strong.

ROE 13.8%goal > 15% (3y avg)
03

Is the big, smart money buying in?

Large professional investors (global funds and Indian mutual funds) do deep research before buying. We track whether they've been adding or trimming their stake.

Aligned

Professional investors have been holding steady or buying more — a quiet vote of confidence.

04

Is the price reasonable right now?

Even a great company can be a bad buy if it's overpriced. We compare today's price tag to how this company has typically been priced over the past five years.

No data

We don't have enough reliable data to run this check yet, so we're leaving it open rather than guessing.
