Was the rally earned?
Partly.
- Most of the rise came from investors paying a higher multiple (P/E 5.6x to 7.0x); per-share earnings added 3 points.
- The share count barely moved.
Mostly yes, with a catch.
- Per-share earnings added 29 points, but investors now pay less per rupee of profit (P/E 7.2x to 7.0x), which took 3 points back.
- The share count barely moved.
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: 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.

Sector figures are built from today's listed companies, so they exclude companies that are no longer listed.
Where does it rank among Consumer Services peers?
Each cell is the company's percentile rank among its Consumer 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).

What is the price implying?
At a P/E of 22.3x, the price would imply about 16.5%/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.

How reliable is this?
Matched on P/E, P/S, ROCE, operating margin, debt/equity, interest cover, revenue growth, 12-month momentum, drawdown from 12-month high and size. Closest on: drawdown from 12-month high, P/S and revenue growth. Not used (unavailable for this company): volatility. One match per company and at most 7 from any one month.
Independent periods: the matches fall in 6 distinct 12-month windows. Matches from nearby months share the same market conditions, so fewer windows means less evidence.
