🔑 Key Things to Check:
✅ Company Revenue Growth
• Check if the company’s sales are increasing quarter by quarter.
• Use: Quarterly Results > Revenue section
✅ Profit (PAT) Trend
• PAT (Profit After Tax) should show steady or growing numbers.
• Avoid companies with declining or unstable profits.
✅ PTBV (Price to Book Value)
• A PTBV between 1–3 is usually considered stable for investment.
• Lower PTBV = safer entry zone.
✅ Debt and Liabilities
• Low debt = strong balance sheet.
• Avoid companies with high borrowings unless it’s a turnaround story.
✅ Promoter Holdings
• Rising promoter or institutional holdings = strong internal confidence.
• Sudden fall = red flag.
