Valuation — what you are paying

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

  • P/E (trailing)14.2xStrong

    You are paying 14.2 years of current profit for each share. The earnings yield is 7.1%.

  • P/B (price to book)2.4xStrong

    The market values the company at 2.4× its accounting net worth. High is normal for asset-light businesses and unusual for banks.

  • EV / EBITDA7.7xStrong

    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 yield3.64%Strong

    Pays 3.64% of the current price out each year. Remember that yield rises when price falls — check the dividend is covered by cash flow.

Profitability — is this a good business?

Returns on capital and margins, the numerical shadow of a moat.

  • Return on equity18.9%Strong

    Earns ₹18.9 of profit a year for every ₹100 of shareholders' money. Always check how much of this comes from leverage rather than the business.

  • Return on assets9.7%Fair

    ROE and ROA are reasonably close, so the returns come largely from the business itself rather than from borrowing.

  • Operating margin31.2%Strong

    Keeps ₹31.2 of operating profit from every ₹100 of sales. Compare only against companies in the same industry.

  • Net margin21.8%Strong

    Sustained high net margins are evidence that something is stopping competitors from competing the profits away.

Financial strength — can it survive a bad year?

Leverage and liquidity. This is where fragility shows up first.

  • Debt to equity0.52Fair

    A conservative balance sheet that can absorb a downturn without a crisis.

  • Current ratio1.84Strong

    Short-term obligations are comfortably covered by short-term assets.

  • Total debt₹21432.40 CrNo data

    Against cash of ₹7355.80 Cr. Net debt is what matters, not gross borrowings.

  • Free cash flow₹3776.82 CrStrong

    Generates cash after paying for the capital spending needed to keep running. This is the money genuinely available to owners.

Growth — is it getting bigger?

Revenue and earnings momentum, and how the two compare.

  • Revenue growth (yoy)+4.6%Weak

    Ask where the growth came from: more volume, higher prices, or an acquisition. They are very different in quality.

  • Earnings growth (yoy)+0.6%Fair

    Profits are growing slower than sales, meaning margins are compressing. The company may be buying its growth.

  • Revenue (TTM)₹32866.60 CrNo data

    EBITDA of ₹15025.50 Cr and operating cash flow of ₹15512.90 Cr.

  • PEG ratioNo data

    Not available.

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.
