Answers
Simple answers to the questions investors ask most, from the company's own numbers.
How fast it has been growing
Sales grew 34.4% over the past year, and 17.5% a year over its longer record. Meanwhile what it keeps of every 100 rupees of sales improved from 27.4% to 31.3% over the last four years.
Whether it grew faster than its sector
It grew 17.5% a year against a sector median of 10.2% — 7.3 percentage points faster.
Room to re-rate, or risk of de-rating
At 96.7× earnings it costs 4.0× the market, which pays 23.9× across 2199 companies we can price. Its own industry sits at 53.0×, across 5 companies. It is against its own five-year median of 94.3×, the 54th percentile of its own range.
Whether growth justifies the valuation
Priced at 4.8 times its growth rate, on earnings growth of 20%.

| Atul Limited | 9%/yr | 21.6× | ₹2.4 |
Compared with companies filed under the same label. That grouping comes from the exchange's filing category, so some of them may not be real rivals.
How it compares with its peers
Against companies the exchange files under the same label (Specialty Chemicals), it ranks 33 of 73 on returns, 15 of 72 on growth, 4 of 73 on margin. That grouping comes from the exchange's filing category, so some of them may not be real rivals.
What makes it hard to beat — and is that still true?
No durable advantage shows in the numbers: it earns 11.9% on capital, ahead of 55% of companies filed under the same label. That grouping comes from the exchange's filing category, so some of them may not be real rivals.
Whether its growth pays for itself
No — Over the last five years it made ₹214 crore of cash from the business but spent ₹2012 crore on plant and equipment, ₹1798 crore more than it made; the gap was from lenders and shareholders. But only about 31 of every 100 rupees of profit it reported over 5 years arrived as cash — the rest is tied up. Its cash comes back more slowly than it used to: it went from being waiting 82 days for its cash to waiting 160 days for its cash.

Price trend
The price as a Renko brick chart: small moves drop out so the bigger path stands out.
Every brick is the same size, about one typical day's move. A new brick needs a full brick's move; turning the other way needs two. Bricks show where the price went, not where it will go.
