Cash flow

Where cash comes from and where it goes.

Operating CF — Cash earned from running the business. The core engine of financial health.

Investing CF — Cash spent on assets and equipment. Negative is normal — it means the company is investing in growth.

Financing CF — Cash from borrowing or repaying loans and dividends. Negative means debt is being repaid.

Free cash flow — Operating CF minus capex. Cash left after keeping the business running. Positive and growing is ideal.

Shareholding pattern

Who owns this company and how that has changed.

What shareholding tells you: When promoters (founders/controlling shareholders) increase their stake, it usually signals confidence in the business. Rising FII (foreign funds) interest means international money is moving in. High promoter pledge is a risk — pledged shares can be force-sold if the stock price falls sharply.

Signals from the trend

📉

PromoterDown 6.1pp — worth monitoring for further declines

📈

FIINet buyers (+6.3pp) — foreign institutional interest is growing

📈

DIINet buyers (+1pp) — domestic funds are accumulating

Mixed signals — FII buying and DII buying on the positive side, but promoter selling adds uncertainty.
