Answers

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

How fast it has been growing

Sales grew 16.8% over the past year, and 4.9% a year over its longer record. Meanwhile what it keeps of every 100 rupees of sales held steady, near 4.1% over the last four years.

Whether it grew faster than its sector

It grew 4.9% a year against a sector median of 10.6% — 5.7 percentage points slower.

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

At 28.0× earnings against a market that pays 24.1× across 2199 companies we can price. Its own industry sits at 43.7×, across 5 companies. It is against its own five-year median of 26.6×, the 56th percentile of its own range.

Whether growth justifies the valuation

Priced at 3.5 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 (Cables - Electricals), it ranks 10 of 13 on returns, 12 of 13 on growth, 12 of 13 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 12.4% on capital, ahead of 23% 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 the business itself consumed ₹9 crore of cash before any plant spend, funded from shareholders — borrowings did not rise. And the profit is real: of every 100 rupees it reported over 12 years, about 148 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 130 days for its cash to waiting 85 days for its cash.
