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 Dec 2009 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 Dec 2009 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 3.5× earnings against a market that pays 23.9× across 2199 companies we can price. Its own industry sits at 7.2×, across 4 companies. It is against its own five-year median of 10.0×, the 4th percentile of its own range.

Whether growth justifies the valuation

Priced at 0.1 times its growth rate, on earnings growth of 48%.

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 (Print Media), it ranks 3 of 5 on returns, 3 of 5 on growth, 3 of 5 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 10.8% 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 ₹228 crore of cash from the business, spent ₹6 crore on plant and equipment, and returned ₹85 crore to lenders and shareholders. And the profit is real: of every 100 rupees it reported over 11 years, about 99 arrived as cash. Its cash comes back faster than it used to: it went from being paid 184 days before it paid its own suppliers to paid 271 days before it paid its own suppliers.
