- The share count barely moved.
Partly.
- Most of the rise came from investors paying a higher multiple (P/E 12.5x to 14.2x); per-share earnings took off 0 points.
- The share count fell 8%.

- Most of the rise came from investors paying a higher multiple (P/E 9.7x to 14.2x); per-share earnings took off 7 points.
- The share count fell 15%.
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; dotted 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.
Where does it rank among Process Industries peers?
Each cell is the company's percentile rank among its Process Industries 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 normalised P/E (five-year average earnings) of 13.0x, a holder earning 12%/yr needs earnings to grow about 9.7%/yr for 10 years, then trade at 15x.
Over time
Implied growth by month (solid) and delivered growth (dashed).

Implied: 9.7%/yrLooking back
- Jan 2020Price implied 12%/yr; EPS has since grown 9%/yr (7.0 yrs)
- Jan 2021Price implied 13%/yr; EPS has since grown 5%/yr (6.0 yrs)
- Jan 2022Price implied 12%/yr; EPS has since grown 3%/yr (5.0 yrs)
Past comparisons cover only companies listed today (survivorship bias) and say nothing about future outcomes.

How reliable is this?
Matched on P/E, P/S, ROCE, operating margin, debt/equity, revenue growth, 12-month momentum, drawdown from 12-month high, size and volatility. Closest on: 12-month momentum, drawdown from 12-month high and P/E. Not used (unavailable for this company): interest cover. 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.
