1. At a Glance
Fischer Medical Ventures Ltd is a ₹5,032 Cr smallcap in the medical equipment & healthcare tech space. It recently pivoted from being a sleepy chemicals trader to launching India’s first indigenous MRI systems and AI-based diagnostics. While growth is exciting, financials are, well, more fiction than fact. P/E of 4,193? Oof.
2. Intro with Hook
Let’s say you went to a diagnostic center. They scanned your body with an MRI machine made in India, powered by AI. Then you discovered the company behind it has:
- ROE of 0.57%
- OPM of 3%
- Capitalized interest? Probably.
- P/E of 4,193 🤯
And yet — the stock ran up 150% in 3 years. Welcome to Fischer Medical Ventures. A story where the pitch deck grew faster than the profits.
3. WTF Do They Even Do? (Business Model)
Originally known as Fischer Chemic, this company sold lab chemicals and dabbled in machine trading. But over the past 2 years, it morphed into:
- 🧠 AI-driven healthcare tech (FlynnCare subsidiary)
- 🧲 MRI machine manufacturing (licensed by CDSCO)
- 🌍 Strategic global expansion (Jember, Singapore, Malacca)
Business Segments Now:
- Diagnostic Equipments (MRI, AI X-ray TB Screening)
- Healthcare AI Platforms (FlynnCare)
- Chemicals & Lab Supplies (legacy)
Buzzwords per minute? 14. Actual revenue from MRI AI business? Still… developing.
4. Financials Overview: Profit, Margins, ROE, Growth
Let’s talk numbers:
| Metric | FY23 | FY24 | FY25 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sales | ₹0 Cr | ₹21 Cr | ₹111 Cr |
| Net Profit | ₹-0 Cr | ₹2 Cr | ₹1 Cr |
| OPM | 11% | 9% | 3% |
| ROE | — | 1.2% | 0.57% |
| ROCE | — | 5% | 1.07% |
🧠 TTM Sales Growth: 428%
💀 TTM Profit Growth: -35%
This is what we call: “Burn now, earn later… maybe.”
5. Valuation: Cheap, Meh, or Crack?
Let’s not sugarcoat this.
- P/E: 4,193x 😵 (yes, not 41.93, but 4,193)
- P/B: 14.7x (for 0.57% ROE… okay then)
- FV Range Calculation:
- Assume sustainable EPS = ₹0.5 (TTM: ₹0.23)
- Assume fair P/E = 40 (optimistic for high-growth medical tech)
- FV Range = ₹20 – ₹40
📌 Current Price = ₹776
📉 Implied overvaluation = 18x above upper range
6. What’s Cooking – News, Triggers, Drama
🚨 Let’s list out all the hot announcements:
- ₹10M AI X-ray TB deal with Jember, Indonesia 🇮🇩
- Indigenous MRI license from CDSCO
- $12.5M investment in Nanomedic Tech, Singapore
- Launch of Sikkim MRI PPP public health project
- INR 250 Cr+ in subsidiary investments: FlynnCare, TMIV, Obelabs
- 🏥 Malacca property for regional healthcare hub
🎭 All this sounds fantastic. But does it generate free cash flow yet?
7. Balance Sheet – How Much Debt, How Many Dreams?
| Year | Borrowings | Reserves | Total Liabilities |
|---|---|---|---|
| FY23 | ₹1 Cr | ₹-0 Cr | ₹0 Cr |
| FY25 | ₹85 Cr | ₹274 Cr | ₹457 Cr |
- Borrowings ballooned 💣 from ₹1 Cr to ₹85 Cr
- Reserves grew on paper, but not backed by operating cash
8. Cash Flow – Sab Number Game Hai
| Year | CFO | CFI | CFF | Net Cash |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FY24 | ₹-8 Cr | ₹-29 Cr | ₹37 Cr | ₹1 Cr |
| FY25 | ₹-86 Cr | ₹-125 Cr | ₹315 Cr | ₹103 Cr |
⚠️ Net cash flow is positive only because financing cash is doing CPR on operations.
9. Ratios – Sexy or Stressy?
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| ROCE | 1.07% |
| ROE | 0.57% |
| OPM | 3% |
| Inventory Days | 36 |
| Debtor Days | 251 (earlier 398!) |
| Cash Conversion Cycle | 205 days |
| P/E | 4,193 |
| P/B | 14.7 |
This is a classic “valuation ahead of fundamentals” case.
10. P&L Breakdown – Show Me the Money
FY25 Breakdown:
- Sales: ₹111 Cr
- Operating Profit: ₹3 Cr
- Net Profit: ₹1.32 Cr
- Other Income: ₹1.49 Cr (hmmm)
- EPS: ₹0.23
- Dividend: ₹0.05 per share
So… the profit is equal to the “other income” 😶.
11. Peer Comparison – Who Else in the Game?
| Company | P/E | ROE | OPM | Sales | PAT |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fischer | 4,193 | 0.57% | 3% | ₹111 Cr | ₹1 Cr |

| Prevest Denpro | 35 | 19% | 25% | ₹63 Cr | ₹18 Cr |
| Tarsons | 69 | 5% | 28% | ₹392 Cr | ₹30 Cr |
| OSEL Devices | 26 | 30% | 18% | ₹186 Cr | ₹20 Cr |
🧪 Verdict: Fischer is clearly in a different orbit. Valuation in space, earnings still in lab trials.
12. Misc – Shareholding, Promoters, WTF?
- Promoters suddenly showed up in June 2023 with 74.91% stake
- Now down to 61.8% (April 2025)
- Public shareholding shot up to 30.5%
- FIIs hold ~5.4%
- Over 10,000 shareholders 🧍♂️
🚨 Promoter holding dropped by 13% in 1 quarter. Red flag?
13. EduInvesting Verdict™
Fischer Medical Ventures is the poster child for what happens when a smallcap reinvents itself with AI, MRI, and three-letter buzzwords.
📈 Yes, the topline has gone 5x.
📉 But profitability and cash flows? Still catching up.
🤯 A 4,193x P/E stock with ROE <1% is not a bet — it’s a faith-based initiative.
Verdict: Looks cool on Twitter, but read the balance sheet before you YOLO.
