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.

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 1.4pp — worth monitoring for further declines

📉

FIINet sellers (7pp) — foreign institutional interest is declining

📈

DIINet buyers (+12.5pp) — domestic funds are accumulating

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

pp = percentage points. FII = Foreign Institutional Investors. DII = Domestic Institutional Investors (MFs, insurance). Data sourced from NSE/BSE filings. Verify on BSE/NSE before any investment decision.
