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 Mar 2021 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 Mar 2021 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 12.5× earnings against a market that pays 23.9× across 2199 companies we can price. Its own industry sits at 21.6×, across 5 companies. It is against its own five-year median of 15.0×, the 26th percentile of its own range.

Whether growth justifies the valuation

Priced at 0.8 times its growth rate, on earnings growth of 15%.

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 (Trading & Distributors), it ranks 5 of 30 on returns, 1 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?

No durable advantage shows in the numbers: it earns 10.4% on capital, ahead of 83% 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 ₹200 crore of cash before any plant spend. It has not made a profit over 12 years.
