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 Jun 2023 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 Jun 2023 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 67.4× earnings it costs 2.8× the market, which pays 23.9× across 2199 companies we can price. Its own industry sits at 26.2×, across 4 companies. It is against its own five-year median of 87.2×, the 15th percentile of its own range.

Whether growth justifies the valuation

Priced at 2.2 times its growth rate, on earnings growth of 30%.

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 (Dairy Products), it ranks 6 of 10 on returns, 6 of 9 on growth, 4 of 10 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 15.2% on capital, ahead of 40% 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 ₹4253 crore of cash from the business, spent ₹2464 crore on plant and equipment, and returned ₹1528 crore to lenders and shareholders. And the profit is real: of every 100 rupees it reported over 12 years, about 321 arrived as cash — well above the profit, more than depreciation and interest account for, so do not count on it repeating. Its cash comes back more slowly than it used to: it went from being paid 37 days before it paid its own suppliers to paid 26 days before it paid its own suppliers.

Vadilal resets after 10 years & amid a family battle

Vadilal reset its 10-year deal between its two family firms amid a feud, hurting its own shareholders on uncertainty while rival dairies gain slightly.

Fast Moving Consumer Goods

Who it hits first

  • Vadilal Industries, which makes ice cream and dairy foods, signed a fresh business deal with its sister firm Vadilal Enterprises after 10 years.
  • The reset comes during an ongoing fight within the Vadilal family over control, which clouds who gets what profit and makes near-term earnings hard to predict.
  • Investors usually punish this kind of family uncertainty with a small selloff until clear terms appear.

Who may gain

  • Rival dairy and ice-cream makers like Parag Milk Foods, Heritage Foods, Hatsun Agro Product and Kwality Wall's could pick up tiny extra sales if Vadilal's team is distracted.
  • No other sector wins — this is a family paperwork reset, not a demand boom.

Along the supply chain

Downstream

No direct factory customer exists in the graph — Vadilal sells through shops, parlours and distributors, who can switch a few orders to rival brands if supply wobbles.

Upstream

Makers of packaging, flavours and dairy inputs that sell to Vadilal, including the two suppliers in the graph, see no order cut yet — a family paperwork reset does not stop ice-cream plants.

Where demand moves

Business

Shops that stock both Vadilal and rival tubs may order a little more from Parag, Heritage, Hatsun and Kwality if Vadilal's sales team slows, but freezers stay full and total ice-cream eating does not grow.

Capital

Investors may trim Vadilal Industries and Vadilal Enterprises on feud headlines and park that money in larger dairy names or wait in cash until the new terms are clear.

How it spreads across sectors

Fast Moving Consumer Goods

Ice-cream and dairy shelves stay normal — a small sympathy wobble for Vadilal-linked names, with tiny share gains possible for rival dairies, but no sector-wide demand change.

When it plays out

Immediate

Vadilal shares drift on feud headlines while traders wait for reset details; rival dairy stocks stay flat to slightly firm.

Medium term

Earnings show whether the reset helped or hurt profit sharing; feud overhang fades if the family sticks to the new deal.

Short term

If deal terms stay vague, Vadilal stays soft and rivals hold tiny gains; clear paperwork would calm both sides.

Floods, landslides kill 56 in India and 14 in Nepal

Deadly India-Nepal floods killed 70 and damaged crops, hurting sugar makers most and denting dairy and packaged-goods sales, with no clear winners.

Fast Moving Consumer GoodsInsurance & NBFC

Who it hits first

  • Floods and landslides killed 56 people in India and 14 in Nepal, blocking roads and flooding shops and homes.
  • Rescue teams are reaching waterlogged areas with relief, while officials check ruined crops to plan payouts to farmers.
  • Village shops sell less for a week or two as families spend on food and shelter, and trucks carrying milk, sugar and packaged goods run late.

Who may gain

  • No clear stock-market winners in this pack — floods dent village demand and disrupt supply without lifting any FMCG line.

Along the supply chain

Downstream

Downstream, distributors, wholesalers and village kirana shops get late or short deliveries of soaps, foods, milk and liquor, so shelves thin for days until roads clear and restocking resumes.

Upstream

Upstream, farmers lose standing crops and milk routes stall — cane for sugar mills and milk for dairies arrives late or spoils, and packing and truck movement slows in flooded districts.

Where demand moves

Business

Village kirana shops and tea stalls order less soap, biscuits, milk and beer as buyers pause and roads block restocking; dairies like Hatsun Agro and Milky Mist Dairy collect less milk, while sugar makers like Balrampur Chini get less cane, so near-term sales dip a few percent before relief buying refills shelves.

Capital

Investors trim small rural-led FMCG and sugar names and wait, favouring cash or large steady makers like Hindustan Unilever and Nestle India that can absorb a short dip; no fresh buying wave appears.

How it spreads across sectors

Agriculture

Flooded fields cut crop output and farm cash, delaying the next planting and rural spending.

Fast Moving Consumer Goods

Village sales pause and input delays trim near-term volumes a few percent, with dairy and sugar hit first, large makers absorbing better.

Insurance & NBFC

Crop-loss checks point to higher farm-claim payouts ahead, though the pack lists no insurer members to size the hit.

Sugar

Cane damage and mill delays cut sugar output for weeks, partly cushioned later by payouts and firmer prices.

A pattern seen before

Cascade chain

  • Floods + landslides kill 70 → roads and shops blocked
  • Crop damage assessed → farm cash falls, payouts lag
  • Farm cash falls → village FMCG buying softens 1-3 weeks
  • Milk collection stalls → dairy volumes dip
  • Cane fields flooded → sugar mills run short
  • Crop-loss claims rise → insurers face payouts

Pattern name

Monsoon Cascade

Patterns

  • Monsoon Cascade

Sectors queried

  • FMCG

When it plays out

Immediate

Rescue and relief continue; milk and truck routes stay patchy, village shop sales dip.

Medium term

Farm cash and village demand recover as compensation lands; large FMCG makers regain trend, small leveraged sugar stays soft.

Short term

Crop-loss checks finish and payouts start; dairies and sugar mills restore supply, shops restock.

Who it hits first

  • Flash floods and waterlogging across 13 Odisha districts forced about 70,000 people to leave their homes, with Balasore worst hit and Mayurbhanj, Jajpur, Kalahandi and Koraput also flooded.
  • Village shops shut, roads and rail links were cut, and standing paddy and vegetable crops were damaged, pausing everyday buying of foods, soaps and drinks in the affected belt.
  • Tata Steel, which runs the 8 MTPA Kalinganagar steel plant in Jajpur, plus ports, mines and power plants across Odisha, faces short transport and staffing delays, though no plant damage is reported.

Who may gain

  • No direct stock winner in this pack — relief restocking may later help Hindustan Unilever, which sells soaps and packaged foods, and Britannia Industries, which sells biscuits, once roads reopen.

Along the supply chain

Downstream

Trucks cannot reach flooded shops, so biscuits, milk, beer and spirits pile up at depots while village shelves go empty until water drains and roads reopen.

Upstream

Paddy, milk and sugarcane supply from flooded fields is disrupted, so food makers like Hatsun Agro Product, a dairy buyer, and sugar makers face short collection gaps and higher transport costs.

Village families delay buying biscuits, tea, soaps and liquor while they shelter and replant, so wholesalers in Balasore and Jajpur order less from food and drink makers for a few weeks.

Capital

Investors trim near-term sales hopes for everyday-goods sellers and wait for crop-loss and claim estimates, with money likely to sit out until restocking orders show the pause has ended.

How it spreads across sectors

Fast Moving Consumer Goods

Village sales pause as shops shut and roads close; biscuits, milk, tea and liquor orders dip for days to weeks, then bounce on restocking.

Insurance & NBFC

Crop and property damage in 13 districts points to higher farm and home insurance claims over the coming month.

Metals & Mining

Odisha steel, aluminium and coal plants face truck delays and staff gaps, but no furnace or mine damage is reported.

A pattern seen before

Cascade chain

  • Floods swamp paddy and cane fields in 13 Odisha districts -> Kharif crop output falls
  • Crop loss -> farm cash incomes drop -> village buying of biscuits, soaps and drinks pauses
  • Weak village buying -> Fast Moving Consumer Goods and sugar sales soften for weeks
  • Farm stress -> tractor, two-wheeler and rural-loan demand slows; crop insurers face claims
  • Heavy river flows -> hydro power output may rise briefly, partly offsetting thermal demand

When it plays out

Immediate

In 1-7 days evacuations continue, shops stay shut in Balasore and Jajpur, and milk, biscuit and liquor deliveries stall on flooded roads.

Medium term

In 1-6 months replanted crops grow, insurance claims settle, and village buying of foods and soaps returns to normal.

Short term

In 1-4 weeks water drains, relief packs of biscuits and clean water move in, and wholesalers place catch-up orders.

Who it hits first

  • Maharashtra declared 265 of 358 talukas, 74% of the state, drought-hit, so farm families across most districts will earn less this season.
  • Bank of Maharashtra, the state-based lender, is likely to see slower village loan growth and more late farm payments.
  • Food, dairy and drink makers such as Nestle India, Hatsun Agro Product and Tata Consumer Products face weaker village shop sales as households cut spending.
  • State relief payments will cushion the worst-hit families but do not replace lost crop income for shop sellers or lenders.

Who may gain

  • Drought-hit farm families who receive state relief money and support

Along the supply chain

Downstream

Downstream, village distributors, kirana shops and rural sales agents move fewer packets and bottles, while lenders and field agents recover dues more slowly from cash-strapped borrowers.

Upstream

Upstream, farmers grow and sell smaller harvests, so dairy collectors such as Hatsun Agro Product and Milky Mist Dairy Food get less milk while food makers pay more for scarce milk and grain.

Where demand moves

Business

Village households buy fewer packaged foods, dairy packs and drinks, lenders give fewer crop and small loans and collect old dues more slowly, and farm-input dealers sell less seed and fertiliser for the next sowing.

Capital

Investors turn cautious on Maharashtra-heavy lenders and village-facing consumer shares, pausing fresh buying until loan collections and shop sales steady, with money preferring broader or city-led names for now.

How it spreads across sectors

Automobile and Auto Components

Tractor and two-wheeler dealers in drought blocks see postponed purchases as farmers delay big buys (pattern names, prose only).

Fast Moving Consumer Goods

Village demand for foods, dairy, tea and drinks softens as farm cash falls across 74% of the state; city sales cushion listed makers.

Fertilizers

Dealers order less fertiliser for the next sowing as sown area and farm cash shrink; no listed maker row sits in the pack.

Financial Services

Maharashtra lenders see slower rural disbursals and more late farm payments; strong NIM and low bad loans cushion large banks.

Power

Low reservoirs can trim hydro output and push more load onto thermal plants in the state (pattern name, prose only).

A pattern seen before

Cascade chain

  • Drought in 265 of 358 talukas (74%) → farm incomes fall
  • Farm incomes fall → village FMCG, dairy and liquor sales soften
  • Village cash falls → rural loan collections slip, farm-input and tractor and two-wheeler sales slow
  • Low reservoirs → hydro power dips, thermal plants carry more load

When it plays out

Immediate

In 1-7 days, Maharashtra lender and rural consumer shares wobble as traders price slower village sales and farm-loan stress while relief details emerge.

Medium term

In 1-6 months, if rains return and relief lands, collections and village sales steady; a long dry spell deepens loan stress and input-sales losses.

Short term

In 1-4 weeks, distributors report weaker rural reorders while lenders watch early missed payments and slow new farm lending.

Who it hits first

  • Sixth Sense India, a large outside investor, sold about 29.54 lakh shares of Parag Milk Foods, a company that makes milk, cheese, ghee and other dairy foods.
  • That puts a big block of Parag Milk Foods shares up for sale at once, which can push its share price down for a few days even though its dairy business itself is unchanged.

Who may gain

  • New buyers who pick up the 29.54 lakh shares, possibly at a small discount to the market price.
  • No company gains new business from this — it is a shareholder selling shares, not customers buying more.

Along the supply chain

Downstream

No direct link downstream — shops and distributors selling Parag's dairy products see no change in sales from this share sale.

Upstream

No direct link upstream — dairy farmers and packaging suppliers selling to Parag Milk Foods see no change in orders from a shareholder selling shares.

Where demand moves

Business

No change in everyday demand — families buying Parag's milk, curd and cheese are unaffected because this is one investor selling shares, not a change in products or prices.

Capital

Selling pressure rises on Parag Milk Foods shares as about 29.54 lakh shares from Sixth Sense India need new buyers, which can weigh on the price until the block is absorbed.

How it spreads across sectors

Fast Moving Consumer Goods

Near-term mood-only wobble for listed dairy peers such as Heritage Foods, Hatsun Agro and Vadilal Industries, with no change to their sales or costs.

When it plays out

Immediate

1-7 days: Parag Milk Foods shares face extra selling pressure and may dip 2-4% while the 29.54 lakh-share block finds buyers; peers wobble mildly on mood.

Medium term

1-6 months: Parag Milk Foods trades on milk demand and earnings again; the share sale leaves no lasting mark unless more holders keep selling.

Short term

1-4 weeks: selling pressure fades as the block is absorbed and the price steadies around its usual business value.
