Answers
Simple answers to the questions investors ask most, from the company's own numbers.
How fast it has been growing
Sales grew 8.7% over the past year, and 1.1% a year over its longer record. Meanwhile what it keeps of every 100 rupees of sales improved from 6.5% to 11.3% over the last four years.
Whether it grew faster than its sector
It grew 1.1% a year against a sector median of 9.9% — 8.8 percentage points slower.
Room to re-rate, or risk of de-rating
At 14.4× earnings against a market that pays 23.9× across 2199 companies we can price. Its own industry sits at 51.6×, across 5 companies. It is against its own five-year median of 35.7×, the 14th percentile of its own range.
Whether growth justifies the valuation
Priced at 0.3 times its growth rate, on earnings growth of 55%.
| Profit growth | Price per ₹1 profit | Per 1% growth | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Eveready Industries India Limited — this one | 55%/yr | 14.4× | ₹0.26 |
| Varun Beverages Limited | 24%/yr | 43.1× | ₹1.8 |
| Britannia Industries | 8%/yr | 43.8× | ₹5.5 |
| Marico Limited | 11%/yr | 53.5× | ₹4.9 |
| United Spirits Limited | 23%/yr | 51.6× | ₹2.2 |
| Tata Consumer Products | 13%/yr | 57.1× | ₹4.4 |
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 across the whole Fast Moving Consumer Goods sector, it ranks 51 of 177 on returns, 150 of 173 on growth, 73 of 178 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 narrow advantage: it earns 17.2% on capital, ahead of 71% of companies across its whole sector. 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 ₹538 crore of cash from the business, spent ₹148 crore on plant and equipment, and returned ₹476 crore to lenders and shareholders. And the profit is real: of every 100 rupees it reported over 12 years, about 222 arrived as cash — well above the profit; depreciation and interest are the reason, not a windfall. Its cash comes back more slowly than it used to: it went from being paid 24 days before it paid its own suppliers to waiting 33 days for its cash.

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.
