Answers

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

How fast it has been growing

Sales fell 1.3% over the past year. Meanwhile what it keeps of every 100 rupees of sales held steady, near 10.3% over the last four years.

Whether it grew faster than its sector

It grew 10.4% a year against a sector median of 10.3% — 0.1 percentage points faster.

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

At 9.2× earnings against a market that pays 24.1× across 2199 companies we can price. Its own industry sits at 20.2×, across 5 companies. It is against its own five-year median of 6.8×, the 77th 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 (Paper & Paper Products), it ranks 4 of 22 on returns, 11 of 22 on growth, 6 of 22 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 11.1% on capital, ahead of 82% 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 ₹295 crore of cash from the business but spent ₹366 crore on plant and equipment, ₹71 crore more than it made; the gap was mostly borrowed — borrowings rose from ₹66 crore to ₹183 crore. And the profit is real: of every 100 rupees it reported over 12 years, about 126 arrived as cash (before interest, which is why it can exceed the profit).
