Was the rally earned?
Both mattered.
- Per-share earnings added 15 points and the multiple added 24 points (P/E 28.8x to 35.2x).
- The share count barely moved.
Mostly yes, with a catch.
- Per-share earnings added 97 points, but investors now pay less per rupee of profit (P/E 60.5x to 35.2x), 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.
Not shown for 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.
