Answers
Simple answers to the questions investors ask most, from the company's own numbers.
How fast it has been growing
Sales fell 4.7% over the past year. Meanwhile what it keeps of every 100 rupees of sales improved from 0.8% to 2.4% over the last four years.
Whether it grew faster than its sector
It grew 3.6% a year against a sector median of 10.5% — 6.9 percentage points slower.
Room to re-rate, or risk of de-rating
Too little price history yet to compare it with its own past.
Whether growth justifies the valuation
Priced at 2.1 times its growth rate, on earnings growth of 36%.

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 (Auto Components & Equipments), it ranks 93 of 101 on returns, 89 of 99 on growth, 100 of 101 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 4.8% on capital, ahead of 8% 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
Roughly — Over the last five years it made ₹35 crore of cash from the business and spent about as much on plant and equipment. And the profit is real: of every 100 rupees it reported over 12 years, about 405 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 33 days for its cash to waiting 39 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.
