Balance sheet & cash
Was the rally earned?
Earnings helped, the multiple did not.
- Per-share earnings added 15 points, but investors now pay less per rupee of profit (P/E 32.3x to 22.1x), which took 34 points back.
- The share count rose 30%.
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.
Not shown for 3 years and 5 years: earnings were negative at one end, or there is not enough history.
Net profit is trailing twelve months as reported with a 60-day lag.
What is the price implying?
At normalised P/E (five-year average earnings) of 43.5x, a holder earning 12%/yr needs earnings to grow about 24.6%/yr for 10 years, then trade at 15x.
