Answers
Simple answers to the questions investors ask most, from the company's own numbers.
How fast it has been growing
Sales grew 20.2% over the past year, and 15.2% a year over its longer record. Meanwhile what it keeps of every 100 rupees of sales held steady, near 42.2% over the last four years.
Whether it grew faster than its sector
It grew 15.2% a year against a sector median of 13.1% — 2.1 percentage points faster.
Room to re-rate, or risk of de-rating
At 76.5× earnings it costs 3.2× the market, which pays 23.9× across 2199 companies we can price. Its own industry sits at 51.6×, across 5 companies. It is against its own five-year median of 65.3×, the 85th percentile of its own range.
Whether growth justifies the valuation
Priced at 3.2 times its growth rate, on earnings growth of 24%.

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 (Healthcare Service Provider), it ranks 7 of 12 on returns, 7 of 11 on growth, 2 of 12 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 20.5% on capital, ahead of 42% 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 ₹1001 crore of cash from the business, spent ₹602 crore on plant and equipment, and returned ₹239 crore to lenders and shareholders. And the profit is real: of every 100 rupees it reported over 9 years, about 161 arrived as cash — well above the profit; depreciation and interest are the reason, not a windfall.

Nephrocare shares tumble 5% | What’s driving the decline?
Large holders are selling about Rs 650 crore of kidney-care firm Nephrocare at a 5% discount, hurting current shareholders short-term while letting new buyers enter cheaper.
Who it hits first
- Nephrocare Health Services, which runs kidney dialysis clinics, fell over 5% after reports that large holders want to sell about Rs 650 crore of shares at Rs 705 each.
- That Rs 705 price is about 5% below the last close of Rs 741.90, so the market is repricing toward the cheaper deal price.
- The business itself is unchanged — only the shareholding is shifting.
Who may gain
- Buyers who get the block at Rs 705 gain an instant 5% discount to the Rs 741.90 close.
- Patient investors who wanted Nephrocare shares can now buy the dip if the fall overdoes the discount.
Along the supply chain
Downstream
No direct downstream impact — hospitals it serves, including Max Healthcare, Fortis Healthcare, and Medanta, see no change to orders or contracts from this share sale.
Upstream
No direct supply-chain link upstream — Nephrocare lists no suppliers in the pack, and a shareholder sale does not change what it buys.
Where demand moves
Business
No change to patient visits, dialysis sessions, or clinic revenue — the Rs 650 crore sale moves existing shares between investors, not customers.
Capital
About Rs 650 crore of new share supply near Rs 705 pulls the price down short-term as traders sell; bargain hunters absorbing the block provide the offsetting buy flow.
How it spreads across sectors
Healthcare
No sector-wide impact — a single-company share sale with no change to hospital or lab demand; peers should trade flat.
When it plays out
Immediate
1–7 days: Nephrocare trades heavy near Rs 705 as the Rs 650 crore block clears; peers flat.
Medium term
1–6 months: price follows clinic results again, not the block; no lasting sector effect.
Short term
1–4 weeks: discount overhang fades if buyers hold; price stabilises unless more selling appears.

Krsnaa Diagnostics share price jumps 11%: Stock in focus after company enters PET-CT segment
Krsnaa Diagnostics won a 15-year Punjab deal to run costly PET-CT cancer scans, so its shares jumped 11% on years of expected scan income, while rival lab chains gain nothing directly.
Who it hits first
- Krsnaa Diagnostics won a 15-year Punjab government deal to run PET-CT cancer-imaging scans, opening a costly high-value scan business it did not have before.
- The stock jumped 11% as investors priced in years of steady scan income from the long contract.
Who may gain
- Krsnaa Diagnostics gains a 15-year revenue stream and a new high-value PET-CT line; no listed peer shares the award.
Along the supply chain
Downstream
Punjab government hospitals and patients get advanced cancer imaging locally instead of referring cases out.
Upstream
PET-CT scanners come from unlisted global makers (Siemens, GE, Philips) and tracer supply has no listed pure-play, so no listed upstream impact.
Where demand moves
Business
Punjab's public hospitals will send PET-CT scan demand to Krsnaa's new centres for 15 years; scanner makers and tracer suppliers are unlisted so no listed upstream benefit.
Capital
Money rotates into KRSNAA shares on the repricing; no sector-wide rotation since the award is exclusive to one company.
How it spreads across sectors
Healthcare
Mild positive: validates the PPP route for high-end diagnostics and hints other states may tender similar PET-CT deals.
When it plays out
Immediate
Shares already up 11%; follow-through depends on disclosed order value and rollout plan.
Medium term
Scan volumes and revenue/margin contribution from PET-CT over 1-6 months and beyond.
Short term
Agreement signing, centre commissioning schedule, and management commentary in quarterly results.
