Answers

Simple answers to the questions investors ask most, from the company's own numbers.

How fast it has been growing

Our sales figures for this company step up at Mar 2021 and we hold nothing that says why, so we cannot honestly quote a growth rate across it.

Whether it grew faster than its sector

Our sales figures for this company step up at Mar 2021 and we hold nothing that says why, so there is no honest growth rate of its own to set against its sector.

Room to re-rate, or risk of de-rating

At 19.7× earnings against a market that pays 23.9× across 2199 companies we can price. Its own industry sits at 20.8×, across 5 companies. It is against its own five-year median of 23.5×, the 39th percentile of its own range.

Whether growth justifies the valuation

Its earnings are falling, so growth cannot justify the price.

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 (Pesticides & Agrochemicals), it ranks 19 of 23 on returns, 22 of 23 on growth, 20 of 23 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 5.2% on capital, ahead of 17% 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

Roughly — Over the last five years it made ₹121 crore of cash from the business and spent about as much on plant and equipment. But only about 15 of every 100 rupees of profit it reported over 8 years arrived as cash — the rest is tied up. Its cash comes back more slowly than it used to: it went from being waiting 52 days for its cash to waiting 103 days for its cash.
