How the price compares to earnings, assets and cash generation.
You are paying 8.3 years of current profit for each share. The earnings yield is 12.0%. The tracked Metals & Mining median is 12.6× (n=6), so this trades cheaper than its peers.
The market values the company at 2.2× its accounting net worth. High is normal for asset-light businesses and unusual for banks.
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.
Pays 4.94% of the current price out each year. Remember that yield rises when price falls — check the dividend is covered by cash flow.
Based on the next-year earnings estimate — 7.4× against 8.3× trailing. A forward P/E well below trailing is pricing in an earnings jump; treat the forecast with caution.
You pay 1.5× annual sales. Useful when earnings are depressed or negative and P/E breaks down — but a high multiple needs high margins to justify it.
Returns on capital and margins, the numerical shadow of a moat.

Keeps ₹21.1 of operating profit from every ₹100 of sales. Compare only against companies in the same industry.
Sustained high net margins are evidence that something is stopping competitors from competing the profits away.
Keeps ₹74.8 of gross profit per ₹100 of sales, before operating costs. A high, stable gross margin is the clearest single sign of pricing power.
Leverage and liquidity. This is where fragility shows up first.

Revenue and earnings momentum, and how the two compare.
Ask where the growth came from: more volume, higher prices, or an acquisition. They are very different in quality.
Profits are growing slower than sales, meaning margins are compressing. The company may be buying its growth.
EBITDA of ₹41007.37 Cr and operating cash flow of —.
P/E divided by expected growth. Only as reliable as that growth forecast, which is usually optimistic.
The figures quoted per share, and how much profit is handed back to owners.
₹50.53 of profit earned per share over the last twelve months. Price divided by this is the trailing P/E.
The accounting net worth behind each share is ₹193.28; price-to-book compares the market price with this.
Pays out 52% of profit as dividends and retains the rest. Above roughly 85% leaves little to reinvest and is hard to sustain through a weak year.
Market cap plus net debt — closer to what an acquirer actually pays. Against a market cap of ₹2,59,081 Cr.
Nine yes/no tests of profitability, funding and efficiency across the last two years; higher is stronger. A test is dropped only where the data is missing, so the score is out of 9.
NOPAT ÷ invested capital. What the business earns on all its capital, debt and equity — harder to flatter with leverage than ROE.
A company creates value only when ROIC clears its cost of capital (WACC) — judge this figure against the company’s cost of capital, and watch the trend across years.
Five weighted ratios in one bankruptcy early-warning number. Read the zone and, over time, the trend.
In the grey zone — some concern; the direction of travel matters more than the level here.
