Answers

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

How fast it has been growing

Sales fell 10.6% over the past year. Meanwhile what it keeps of every 100 rupees of sales improved from 10.5% to 15.1% over the last four years.

Whether it grew faster than its sector

It grew 7.1% a year against a sector median of 10.6% — 3.4 percentage points slower.

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

At 6.6× earnings against a market that pays 23.9× across 2199 companies we can price. Its own industry sits at 17.7×, across 5 companies. It is against its own five-year median of 7.8×, the 27th percentile of its own range.

Whether growth justifies the valuation

Priced at 0.3 times its growth rate, on earnings growth of 21%.

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), it ranks 9 of 13 on returns, 9 of 11 on growth, 6 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 9.6% on capital, ahead of 31% 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 ₹1977 crore of cash from the business, spent ₹1544 crore on plant and equipment, and returned ₹352 crore to lenders and shareholders. And the profit is real: of every 100 rupees it reported over 12 years, about 168 arrived as cash — well above the profit; depreciation and interest are the reason, not a windfall. Its cash comes back more slowly than it used to: it went from being waiting 1 days for its cash to waiting 30 days for its cash.
