Valuation — what you are paying

How the price compares to earnings, assets and cash generation.

  • P/E (trailing)8.0xStrong

    You are paying 8.0 years of current profit for each share. The earnings yield is 12.5%.

  • P/B (price to book)1.4xStrong

    The market values the company at 1.4× its accounting net worth. High is normal for asset-light businesses and unusual for banks.

  • EV / EBITDA5.8xStrong

    This is the only common multiple that accounts for debt — it is what an actual acquirer would look at, because they would inherit the borrowings.

  • Dividend yield6.26%Strong

    Pays 6.26% of the current price out each year. Remember that yield rises when price falls — check the dividend is covered by cash flow.

Growth — is it getting bigger?

Revenue and earnings momentum, and how the two compare.

  • Revenue growth (yoy)+34.4%Strong

    EBITDA of ₹29398.30 Cr and operating cash flow of —.

How to read this page. The grades are simple heuristics applied to standard thresholds — they take no account of industry norms, business cycle position, or accounting policy. A bank will always look over-leveraged by these rules, and a cyclical will look cheap at the top of its cycle. Use them as prompts to investigate, never as conclusions.
