Was the rally earned?
Earnings helped, the multiple did not.
- Per-share earnings added 82 points, but investors now pay less per rupee of profit (P/E 44.5x to 17.8x), which took 88 points back.
- The share count barely moved.
Earnings helped, the multiple did not.
- Per-share earnings added 51 points, but investors now pay less per rupee of profit (P/E 47.3x to 17.8x), which took 82 points back.
- The share count barely moved.
Partly.
- Most of the rise came from investors paying a higher multiple (P/E 6.4x to 17.8x); per-share earnings took off 73 points.
- 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.
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 Non-Energy Minerals peers?
Each cell is the company's percentile rank among its Non-Energy Minerals 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 32.3x, the price would imply about 19.7%/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.
