Balance sheet & cash
Was the rally earned?
- The share price was roughly flat over 1 year (-3%).
- The share count rose 11%.
Both mattered.
- Per-share earnings added 51 points and the multiple added 40 points (P/E 31.0x to 41.2x).
- The share count rose 9%.
Mostly yes, with a catch.
- Per-share earnings added 262 points, but investors now pay less per rupee of profit (P/E 45.2x to 41.2x), which took 18 points back.
- The share count rose 8%.
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.

How to read this
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 normalised P/E (five-year average earnings) of 54.1x, a holder earning 12%/yr needs earnings to grow about 27.3%/yr for 10 years, then trade at 15x.
Over time
Implied growth by month (solid) and delivered growth (dashed).

Beta is the slope of daily returns against a market-cap-weighted index of the sector's other listed companies, built from today's constituents (so it excludes companies no longer listed).
Where does it rank among Health Technology peers?
Each cell is the company's percentile rank among its Health Technology 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.
