It is dated 19 Apr 2026, so the words are older than the numbers. 1 theme is live here. Signpost India (SIGNPOST) indicates a period of rapid expansion within the advertisement and media infrastructure sector. In Q3 FY26, the company reported a 27% YoY increase in revenue to ₹142.3 crore, a notable acceleration from the 18% growth observed in the first half of the fiscal year. How old this read is: STALE — this read comes from our Advertisement sector brief dated 19 Apr 2026, about 4 months ago. The page says so rather than dressing it up, and a fresh sector dive replaces it the day it runs. ### Live themes, worst first - LOW | Potential volatility in raw material costs for infrastructure-led contracts. | Focus on long-term contracts with built-in escalation mechanisms. | quoted: "Revenue Characteristics: Stable, recurring, with built-in escalation mechanisms and long contract durations." | named for SIGNPOST Sources: our Advertisement sector brief, 19 Apr 2026 · company earnings-call transcripts. ## Revenue Scale & Growth Durability What the numbers say: Affle 3i Ltd is the scale leader at ₹2,835 crore, 380.5% ahead of Signpost India Ltd. Signpost India Ltd's growth is 20.2% from a ₹590 crore base, with 15 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale. Investor read: Affle 3i Ltd is the scale benchmark; Signpost India Ltd is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns. This conclusion weakens if: Affle 3i Ltd's growth falls below Signpost India Ltd's for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses. Evidence: Affle 3i Ltd · ₹2,835 crore | 380.5% versus #2 · Signpost India Ltd | 8/8 recent comparable periods | 2/2 companies · 35 observations Definition: Revenue is compared on a common reported-currency basis. Growth is year-on-year, so seasonality does not masquerade as progress. ### Revenue — largest 1. Affle 3i Ltd (AFFLE): ₹2.8K Cr 2.

Investor read: Signpost India Ltd sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it. This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current margin change signal. Evidence: Signpost India Ltd · 23% | 4.5% versus #2 · Affle 3i Ltd | 3/8 recent comparable periods | 2/2 companies · 36 observations Definition: Operating margin compares operating profit with revenue.

Signpost India Ltd has the strongest latest improvement at +10.9 percentage points. Read the leader beside the density of its reported history: a sparse high return is a candidate; a repeated high return is evidence of durability. Investor read: Signpost India Ltd sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it. This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current roce change signal. Evidence: Signpost India Ltd · 24.9% | 48.2% versus #2 · Affle 3i Ltd | 2/8 recent comparable periods | 2/2 companies · 27 observations Definition: ROCE asks how much operating return the business earns on the capital employed. Direction matters, but a single exceptional year should not be mistaken for durability. ### ROCE — highest 1. Signpost India Ltd (SIGNPOST): 25% 2.

Only 1 of 2 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, so no broad “cheapest stock” conclusion is defensible unless the current multiple, own-history position and growth durability agree. Investor read: Treat valuation as permission to investigate, never as a standalone reason to buy. This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current p/e signal. Evidence: Affle 3i Ltd · 2.39× | Not enough peers | 0/8 recent comparable periods | 1/2 companies · 17 observations Definition: PEG is shown only when earnings are positive and three-year EPS growth is between 5% and 60%. It is recomputed consistently as the trailing P/E divided by that growth rate — reported earnings, never an expected-earnings multiple. On Indian companies it is shown only where the two data feeds agreed. Where any of that fails the ratio is left out rather than printed: a P/E divided by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, is a number that looks precise and means nothing. ### PEG — lowest PEG 1. Affle 3i Ltd (AFFLE): 2.4 ### P/E — lowest P/E 1. Signpost India Ltd (SIGNPOST): 19.4 2. Affle 3i Ltd (AFFLE): 49.2 ### 20-quarter PEG history - AFFLE: Sep 2021 — | Dec 2021 — | Mar 2022 — | Jun 2022 1.2 | Sep 2022 1.5 | Dec 2022 1.6 | Mar 2023 2.5 | Jun 2023 4.2 | Sep 2023 5.7 | Dec 2023 7.8 | Mar 2024 7.3 | Jun 2024 2.6 | Sep 2024 3.6 | Dec 2024 3.2 | Mar 2025 2.1 | Jun 2025 3.4 | Sep 2025 2.9 | Dec 2025 2.7 | Mar 2026 2.4 | Jun 2026 2.4 ### 20-quarter P/E history - AFFLE: Sep 2021 90.4 | Dec 2021 85.2 | Mar 2022 78.0 | Jun 2022 63.9 | Sep 2022 72.2 | Dec 2022 59.2 | Mar 2023 52.5 | Jun 2023 59.7 | Sep 2023 57.6 | Dec 2023 65.8 | Mar 2024 51.7 | Jun 2024 61.9 | Sep 2024 69.7 | Dec 2024 73.4 | Mar 2025 61.6 | Jun 2025 72.9 | Sep 2025 70.3 | Dec 2025 59.7 | Mar 2026 46.4 | Jun 2026 44.9 - SIGNPOST: Sep 2021 — | Dec 2021 — | Mar 2022 — | Jun 2022 — | Sep 2022 — | Dec 2022 — | Mar 2023 — | Jun 2023 — | Sep 2023 — | Dec 2023 — | Mar 2024 47.2 | Jun 2024 34.3 | Sep 2024 31.0 | Dec 2024 33.5 | Mar 2025 24.9 | Jun 2025 30.7 | Sep 2025 37.2 | Dec 2025 31.0 | Mar 2026 24.6 | Jun 2026 18.9 ## What can make this comparison misleading? - A high growth rate can be a low-base artefact. The page keeps level and change separate for that reason. - A high ROCE can be temporary or flattered by a small capital base. Read it beside margin, cash conversion and reinvestment. - The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks research priority, not portfolio action. Management quality, catalysts and risks need equally fresh evidence before capital is deployed. - An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion. - 1 company draws at least one figure from a second data feed with too little overlapping history to cross-check against the primary source; it is marked unverified wherever that figure appears. - Thin comparisons: Valuation have fewer than three usable current readings. ## Every company - Affle 3i Ltd (AFFLE) — market value ₹23.5K Cr; latest fundamentals Jun 2026 - Signpost India Ltd (SIGNPOST) — market value ₹1.4K Cr; latest fundamentals Jun 2026; includes UNVERIFIED second-feed figures ## Source standing of each company Cross-checked: 1. Unverified: 1. Withheld: 0. Graded companies: 2. 1 of 2 companies draws at least one figure from a second data feed that could not be cross-checked against the primary source, because the two do not share enough reported history to compare. Those figures are marked unverified wherever they appear. - UNVERIFIED | SIGNPOST | Signpost India Ltd | too little overlapping reported history to cross-check the second feed ## Methodology and freshness Fundamentals through Jun 2026; prices through 2026-08-14. Up to 20 quarters per company. Reported history is normalized to Indian rupees crore. Missing values are not interpolated. Derived metrics are calculated only when their inputs are comparable. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is the Advertisement sector outperforming NIFTY 500? Advertisement has underperformed NIFTY 500 by 1.2% over 52 weeks and 0.6% over 13 weeks. 2 of 2 covered companies beat NIFTY on Mansfield relative strength, while 0 of 2 beat the sector itself. ### Which Advertisement company is largest by revenue? Affle 3i Ltd leads with revenue of ₹2,835 crore, based on 2 of 2 comparable companies through Jun 2026. ### Which Advertisement company is growing fastest? Signpost India Ltd has the fastest current revenue growth at 20.2%, across 2 of 2 comparable companies. ### Which Advertisement company has the strongest 4-Factor Sector Score? Signpost India Ltd ranks first at 67.9/100 with 77% evidence confidence. The score prioritizes research; it is not a buy recommendation. ### Which Advertisement company has the lowest comparable PEG? Affle 3i Ltd has the lowest comparable PEG at 2.39, among 1 of 2 companies whose earnings and growth are steady enough for the ratio to mean anything. ### How much history does this Advertisement comparison include? The page compares up to 20 reported quarters per company for fundamentals, returns and valuation, ending Jun 2026. Missing observations remain blank rather than being estimated. ### How is the 4-Factor Sector Score calculated? The four visible contributions add directly: growth and earnings up to 35 points, capital efficiency up to 25, valuation up to 20, and relative strength up to 20. Missing or stale evidence moves only the affected contribution toward neutral. ### Is there a Nifty Advertisement index? NSE India maintains Nifty indices for several broad sector categories — Nifty Bank, Nifty IT, Nifty Pharma and others — but not for every sub-sector grouping on this site. Whether or not an official Nifty index covers Advertisement, this page builds its own equal-weight basket of 2 listed Advertisement companies — one company, one vote, regardless of market value — so no single large company dominates the reading. Figures are as of Jun 2026. ### Which are the best Advertisement stocks in India? Ranked by this page's four-factor score, Signpost India Ltd places first among 2 listed Advertisement companies, followed by Affle 3i Ltd. That is a ranking of published data — earnings, quality, valuation and market behaviour as of Jun 2026 — and not a recommendation; Sector Alpha is not registered with SEBI as an investment adviser. ### How many Advertisement stocks are listed in India? This comparison covers 2 listed Advertisement companies in India, each above the size floor the site applies, with 20 quarters of reported figures per company where the filings exist. The full ranked list is on this page, as of Jun 2026. ### Which Advertisement company is the biggest?

That covers 2 of 2 companies with comparable reporting through Jun 2026. ### Which Advertisement company has the best profit margins? Signpost India Ltd has the highest operating margin at 23%, from 2 of 2 comparable companies. Signpost India Ltd shows the biggest recent improvement, at 0 percentage points. A high margin matters most when it is holding or rising, not when it is peaking. ### Which Advertisement company makes the most profit? Affle 3i Ltd earns the most, at ₹478 crore of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 2 of 2 comparable companies.

Signpost India Ltd leads on return on capital employed at 24.9%, across 2 of 2 companies. Read it beside the length of its reported history: a high return that repeats for years is evidence of a durable business, while a single high reading can be a small capital base or one good year. ### Which Advertisement stock is the cheapest? On PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — Affle 3i Ltd screens cheapest at 2.39×. Only 1 of 2 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, so this is not a sector-wide "cheapest stock" verdict. Cheap on a multiple is a reason to investigate, never a reason to buy on its own. ### Is the Advertisement sector beating the market?

Signpost India Ltd scores 67.9 out of 100 with 77% evidence confidence, from 30.1 points on growth and earnings, 19.6 on capital efficiency, 10 on valuation and 8.2 on relative strength. This ranks what deserves work next. It is not a buy recommendation, and management quality, catalysts and risk still need separate research. ### How many Advertisement companies does this comparison cover, and over what period? It compares 2 listed companies over up to 20 reported quarters of fundamentals, ending Jun 2026, plus weekly price and relative-strength history. Membership is the full sector list — nothing is dropped for having thin data. ### What is the total market cap of the Advertisement sector?

A blank means that company did not report a comparable figure for that period, so nothing is shown. Missing observations are never interpolated, carried forward, or replaced with a similar-looking accounting line, and a company with missing evidence has its research score pulled toward neutral rather than being scored as bad. ### Is this investment advice? No. Every figure here is a deterministic calculation from reported company filings and market data, published for research. It contains no recommendation to buy or sell any security, does not account for your circumstances, and is not a substitute for advice from a licensed adviser.
