Formula Guide
🪮 Financial DNA Score — How it's Calculated
Scored 0–100 across four equal pillars (0–25 each). Higher = stronger business quality.
Profitability (0–25)
PAT Margin + EPS Growth- PAT >20% → 15pts | >10% → 10pts | >5% → 5pts
- EPS growth >15% → 10pts | >8% → 7pts | >0% → 4pts
Returns (0–25)
ROE + ROCE + PE Sanity- ROE >20% → 10pts | >15% → 7pts | >10% → 4pts
- ROCE >20% → 8pts | >15% → 5pts
- PE <25x → 7pts | <35x → 5pts
Balance Sheet (0–25)
D/E + Current Ratio + Cash PAT- D/E=0 → 10pts | <0.5x → 7pts | <1x → 4pts
- CR >1.5x → 8pts | >1.2x → 5pts
- Cash PAT >1x → 7pts | >0.7x → 4pts
Efficiency (0–25)
Justified P/B + Dividend + Earnings Yield- P/B < justified P/B → 10pts
- Div Yield >2% → 8pts | >1% → 5pts
- Earnings Yield >5% → 7pts | >3% → 4pts
TCS example: ROE 51.8% (10) + ROCE 63% (8) + PE 15.6x (7) + PAT 18.5% (10) + D/E 0 (10) + CR 1.5x (8) + Div 1.8% (5) = 73/100 Strong
⚖️ Consensus Fair Value — How it's Calculated
Uses a sector-weighted composite — not a simple average — to prevent outlier models from distorting results.
Consensus = Σ(Model Value × Weight) ÷ Σ(Weights)

⚠️ The Graham Number is shown for all stocks; for asset-light companies (ROE >40%, or ROE >20% with P/B >6) it reads low and is captioned as a rough floor. The Graham Formula is still excluded for those and for financial companies.

💧 Liquidity Stack — Formulas Explained
Three progressive ratios — each more conservative. Together they reveal the quality of short-term solvency.
Current Ratio
Current Assets ÷ Current Liabilities- Includes: Cash + Inventory + Receivables
- Benchmark: >1.2x ✓ <1.0x ✗
Quick Ratio
(Current Assets − Inventory) ÷ Current Liabilities- Excludes inventory (may not liquidate quickly)
- Benchmark: >1.0x ✓
Cash Ratio (Strictest)
Cash & Equivalents ÷ Current Liabilities- Only cash on hand — most conservative
- Benchmark: >0.2x ✓
Stack Gap Reading
Gap = Current − Quick- Gap <0.2 → Low inventory dependency ✓
- Gap >0.5 → Liquidity depends on selling stock
📏 Key Metrics — Benchmarks Explained
| Metric | Formula | Benchmark | What it Measures |

| ROE | Net Profit ÷ Shareholders' Equity | >15% | Efficiency of equity in generating profit |
| ROCE | EBIT ÷ Capital Employed | >15% | Returns on all capital (equity + debt) |
| PAT Margin | Net Profit ÷ Revenue | >10% | Profit per 100 of revenue |
| D/E Ratio | Total Debt ÷ Shareholders' Equity | <0.5x | Financial leverage — lower is safer |
| Current Ratio | Current Assets ÷ Current Liabilities | >1.2x | Short-term solvency |
| ICR | EBIT ÷ Interest Expense | >3x | Can earnings cover interest? |
| Cash PAT | Operating Cash Flow ÷ Net Profit | >0.9x | <0.9x suggests accounting inflation of profits |
| DSCR | (Net Income + D&A) ÷ Debt Service | >1.5x | Can the company service its debt? |
