Was the rally earned?

- Per-share earnings added 14 points, but investors now pay less per rupee of profit (P/E 29.0x to 18.4x), which took 39 points back.
- The share count barely moved.

Earnings helped, the multiple did not.

- The share count rose 4%.
What do "pts" mean?
"pts" are percentage points of the share price return. The parts add up to the total shown for each period. Because price = P/E × net profit ÷ share count, higher profit pushes the price up, a higher P/E pushes it up, and more shares push it down.
Example: if the price rose 34% and profit growth accounts for +58 pts while a lower P/E accounts for -24 pts, then 58 - 24 = 34. The +58 is not the profit growth rate itself: it is the part of the price move that profit growth explains.
Net profit is trailing twelve months as reported with a 60-day lag.

Shaded band: 10th to 90th percentile of the company's own P/E history; dashed line: its median; orange line: sector median (companies with a positive multiple, at least 5 in the sector).
Sector figures are built from today's listed companies, so they exclude companies that are no longer listed.
What is the price implying?
At a P/E of 11.9x, the price would imply about 3.3%/yr earnings growth for 10 years under the same assumptions, but it is not ranked.
Below the ₹1,000 cr market-cap floor used for the lists.
“Implied growth” is what the current price would require under our stated assumptions, not what we expect.

Where does it rank among Commercial Services peers?
Each cell is the company's percentile rank among its Commercial Services peers (non-financial companies) that month.
Darker is better-ranked.
Rows marked ↓ are inverted (lower debt, shorter cash cycle and a lower P/E rank higher).
Percentiles use today's listed companies in the sector and need at least 5 peers with a value; grey cells have too few.
ROE is computed from net profit and book value where the source does not report it.
