Answers
Simple answers to the questions investors ask most, from the company's own numbers.
How fast it has been growing
Sales fell 17.1% over the past year. Meanwhile what it keeps of every 100 rupees of sales slipped from 3.3% to 2.0% over the last four years.
Whether it grew faster than its sector
It grew 33.1% a year against a sector median of 10.6% — 22.5 percentage points faster.
Room to re-rate, or risk of de-rating
At 20.1× earnings against a market that pays 23.9× across 2199 companies we can price. Its own industry sits at 27.8×, across 5 companies. It is against its own five-year median of 26.3×, the 10th percentile of its own range.
Whether growth justifies the valuation
Priced at 2.5 times its growth rate, on earnings growth of 8%.

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 (Iron & Steel Products), it ranks 52 of 70 on returns, 5 of 68 on growth, 63 of 70 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 8.9% on capital, ahead of 26% 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 ₹52 crore of cash from the business and spent ₹31 crore on plant and equipment, with ₹21 crore to spare; it still raised ₹5 crore mostly borrowed — borrowings rose from ₹21 crore to ₹55 crore. And the profit is real: of every 100 rupees it reported over 11 years, about 149 arrived as cash (before interest, which is why it can exceed the profit). Its cash comes back faster than it used to: it went from being waiting 65 days for its cash to waiting 31 days for its cash.

Price trend
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.
