Was the rally earned?
Mostly earnings.
- Per-share earnings took off 15 points, while the multiple moved less (P/E 22.7x to 23.1x).
- The share count rose 4%.
Mostly earnings.
- Per-share earnings took off 50 points, while the multiple moved less (P/E 21.1x to 23.1x).
- The share count barely moved.
Earnings helped, the multiple did not.
- Per-share earnings added 47 points, but investors now pay less per rupee of profit (P/E 42.1x to 23.1x), which took 57 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; dashed 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.
What is the price implying?
At a P/E of 17.7x, the price would imply about 10.0%/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.
