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 down at Sep 2011 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 down at Sep 2011 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 12.0× earnings against a market that pays 24.1× across 2199 companies we can price. Its own industry sits at 20.3×, across 4 companies. It is against its own five-year median of 14.7×, the 33rd percentile of its own range.
Whether growth justifies the valuation
Its earnings are falling, so growth cannot justify the price.

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 (Commodity Chemicals), it ranks 13 of 30 on returns, 14 of 27 on growth, 10 of 30 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 13.1% on capital, ahead of 57% 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 ₹157 crore of cash from the business but spent ₹237 crore on plant and equipment, ₹80 crore more than it made; the gap was mostly borrowed — borrowings rose from ₹42 crore to ₹174 crore. And the profit is real: of every 100 rupees it reported over 12 years, about 139 arrived as cash (before interest, which is why it can exceed the profit). Its cash comes back more slowly than it used to: it went from being waiting 18 days for its cash to waiting 28 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.
