The company has reported net margins of under 4% in the latest quarter. But that is not the point. The company has seen steady fall in revenue sand a steady fall in profits over the last 3 years. That is what makes the story less credible and investors will have to be cautious. Normally, investors expect growth in any IPO, both in terms of top line and bottom line and that is not the case hear. Hence, other ratios may not really matter too much.

The investors will have to be cautious about companies that are seeing consistent fall in revenues and profits. It would be better to see more visibility in the coming quarters to get a clear picture of how the financials pan out.
