At ₹21, Lyons Corporate is asking me to pay ₹10 crore for a business that earned barely ₹5 lakh in the last year. That is a P/E of 196.40. For a non-banking financial company, the first thing I check is whether the loan book and net interest income are growing. Here sales growth is 0.00%, profit growth is 0.00%, and the latest quarter shows sales of ₹0 Cr and net profit of ₹-0 Cr. There is no operating momentum to speak of. The book value is ₹12.57, so I am paying a 67% premium to book. Normally, a financial firm can justify that premium if it earns high returns on equity and compounds capital. Lyons does the opposite: ROE is a mere 0.83%, and ROCE is only 6.10%. I can get a comparable return in a fixed deposit, without taking the risk of a microcap. The dividend yield is 0.00%, so there is no cash flow paid to the shareholder while I wait. The Piotroski F-Score of 7/9 is the only positive signal, but that is a backwards-looking snapshot, not evidence of future earning power. Promoter holding and even the 52-week range are blank, which for a ₹10 crore company is not reassuring. Let me be blunt: this is not a business, it is a tiny financial shell with negligible earnings. Graham would insist on a margin of safety. At 1.67 times book and 196 times earnings, there is none. I would put this in the too-hard pile and move on. If a retail investor owns it, the prudent course is to demand answers: what exactly is the loan book, who controls the company, and why is there no profit? Until then, the numbers tell me to avoid.
