Answers

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

How fast it has been growing

Sales fell 0.3% over the past year. Meanwhile what it keeps of every 100 rupees of sales slipped from 41.7% to 35.7% over the last four years.

Whether it grew faster than its sector

It grew 11.3% a year against a sector median of 10.2% — 1.1 percentage points faster.

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

At 37.8× earnings it costs 1.6× the market, which pays 23.9× across 2199 companies we can price. Its own industry sits at 56.2×, across 5 companies. It is against its own five-year median of 57.8×, the 13th 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 (Specialty Chemicals), it ranks 14 of 73 on returns, 35 of 72 on growth, 1 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?

A wide advantage: it earns 20.7% on capital, ahead of 81% 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

Yes — Over the last five years it made ₹1131 crore of cash from the business, spent ₹890 crore on plant and equipment, and returned ₹225 crore to lenders and shareholders. And the profit is real: of every 100 rupees it reported over 9 years, about 92 arrived as cash. Its cash comes back more slowly than it used to: it went from being waiting 90 days for its cash to waiting 110 days for its cash.
