Answers
Simple answers to the questions investors ask most, from the company's own numbers.
How fast it has been growing
Sales grew 15.6% over the past year, and 12.7% a year over its longer record. Meanwhile what it keeps of every 100 rupees of sales slipped from 16.7% to 16.5% over the last four years.
Whether it grew faster than its sector

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

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 (Dyes And Pigments), it ranks 3 of 11 on returns, 5 of 11 on growth, 1 of 11 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 10.8% on capital, ahead of 73% 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 ₹387 crore of cash from the business, spent ₹312 crore on plant and equipment, and returned ₹91 crore to lenders and shareholders. And the profit is real: of every 100 rupees it reported over 7 years, about 107 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 82 days for its cash to waiting 43 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.
