Happiest Minds Technologies Limited

“Happiest Minds has structurally impaired its business through debt-funded acquisitions that tripled the capital base while earning just 3.6% incremental returns, collapsing ROCE from 43% to 15%. With no durable moat, OPM halved to 17%, promoter stake declining, and no succession plan for an aging founder-chairman, the stock remains overvalued at 32x declining earnings. Probability-weighted 5-year returns of ~3% CAGR with meaningful permanent capital loss risk make this uninvestable. This is not a sentiment problem — the business itself has permanently changed for the worse.”
