The profit margins have been fairly low and the sales growth has been quite erratic. However, the company a model that is generally asset light which is evident from the much better return on net worth in the latest year FY22. We do not have the full date for FY23 and it is only available up to January 2023 and hence not cyclically comparable.
However, the business model is based on a very unique core expertise and that would ensure that the advantage the company enjoys is sustained over time. The Indian facilities management opportunity is quite huge and that is likely to keep the investor interest in the stock at an elevated level. It is a high risk bet, but ideal for investors with a longer frame.
