  • Infollion Research Services Earnings Show Cash Flow Concerns Despite Growth
    April 28, 2026, 9:19 PM EDT. Infollion Research Services Limited (NSE:INFOLLION) reported strong statutory profits of ₹127.2 million for the year ended March 2026, with earnings per share growth of 69% annually over three years. However, its free cash flow lagged behind at ₹76 million, resulting in an accrual ratio of 0.24, which indicates profits are not fully supported by cash generation. This accrual ratio suggests potential overstatement of underlying earnings power. Investors should note that while free cash flow increased over the past year, cash conversion remains below ideal levels. Additional risks and financial health factors, including balance sheet strength, warrant close scrutiny before investment decisions.
