Answers

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

How fast it has been growing

Sales grew 1.6% over the past year, and 13.1% a year over its longer record. Meanwhile what it keeps of every 100 rupees of sales held steady, near 8.5% over the last four years.

Whether it grew faster than its sector

It grew 13.1% a year against a sector median of 10.3% — 2.8 percentage points faster.

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

At 19.1× earnings against a market that pays 24.1× across 2199 companies we can price. Its own industry sits at 20.2×, across 5 companies. It is against its own five-year median of 33.6×, the 28th percentile of its own range.

Whether growth justifies the valuation

Priced at 0.4 times its growth rate, on earnings growth of 45%.

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 (Paper & Paper Products), it ranks 9 of 22 on returns, 4 of 22 on growth, 13 of 22 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 6.2% on capital, ahead of 59% 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 ₹210 crore of cash from the business but spent ₹572 crore on plant and equipment, ₹362 crore more than it made; the gap was mostly borrowed — borrowings rose from ₹195 crore to ₹458 crore. And the profit is real: of every 100 rupees it reported over 12 years, about 468 arrived as cash — well above the profit; depreciation and interest are the reason, not a windfall. Its cash comes back faster than it used to: it went from being waiting 36 days for its cash to waiting 22 days for its cash.
