Answers

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

How fast it has been growing

Sales grew 1.5% over the past year, and 6.2% a year over its longer record. Meanwhile what it keeps of every 100 rupees of sales improved from 7.5% to 7.9% over the last four years.

Whether it grew faster than its sector

It grew 6.2% a year against a sector median of 9.9% — 3.7 percentage points slower.

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

At 13.5× earnings against a market that pays 24.1× across 2199 companies we can price. Its own industry sits at 18.2×, across 5 companies. It is against its own five-year median of 14.3×, the 41st percentile of its own range.

Whether growth justifies the valuation

Priced at 3.4 times its growth rate, on earnings growth of 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 the exchange files under the same label (Other Agricultural Products), it ranks 8 of 25 on returns, 22 of 25 on growth, 1 of 25 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 15.8% on capital, ahead of 68% 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 ₹987 crore of cash from the business, spent ₹495 crore on plant and equipment, and returned ₹853 crore to lenders and shareholders. And the profit is real: of every 100 rupees it reported over 12 years, about 80 arrived as cash.

Profit reality check

Is the profit real cash? Simple checks on the accounts. Facts only, not advice.
