Was the rally earned?
Earnings helped, the multiple did not.
- Per-share earnings added 22 points, but investors now pay less per rupee of profit (P/E 64.9x to 49.4x), which took 26 points back.
- The share count barely moved.
Mostly yes, with a catch.
- Per-share earnings added 99 points, but investors now pay less per rupee of profit (P/E 53.1x to 49.4x), which took 10 points back.
- The share count rose 3%.
Mostly yes, with a catch.
- Per-share earnings added 255 points, but investors now pay less per rupee of profit (P/E 70.2x to 49.4x), which took 63 points back.
- The share count rose 3%.
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 Technology Services peers?
Each cell is the company's percentile rank among its Technology 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 P/E of 49.4x, a holder earning 12%/yr needs earnings to grow about 24.3%/yr for 10 years, then trade at 15x.
Over time
Implied growth by month (solid) and delivered growth (dashed).
