Chemicals - Inorganic - Caustic Soda/Soda Ash, equal-weighted, based at 200 NIFTY 500, same base, same start trailing 12-month earnings per share rising falling

Both lines start at 200 in the same week, so the distance between them is the whole story: the sector line is an equal-weighted index of its 8 companies. The bars underneath are trailing 12-month earnings per share, one bar per reported quarter, each member rebased to 100 at the start and the sector taking the median — so a price line pulling away from flat bars is a re-rating, not earnings. A bar turns red when that figure is lower than the quarter before. Rules are fixed and applied identically everywhere on this site: ahead by 5% or more over three months, or behind by 20% or more over a year while earnings grew 20% or more. Hover any point to read both values and the gap. This is a description of what the numbers did, not advice.

03 · sector relative strength, before individual stocks

Is Chemicals - Inorganic - Caustic Soda/Soda Ash outperforming NIFTY 500?

Chemicals - Inorganic - Caustic Soda/Soda Ash has underperformed NIFTY 500 by 22% over the last 52 weeks. Over 13 weeks the gap is a shortfall of 6.9%. 3 of 7 covered companies currently beat NIFTY on Mansfield relative strength, so leadership inside the sector is selective.

The central tension: the companies with the most scale are not necessarily the companies creating the most change.

Start with scale. Then earnings trajectory. Then business quality. Only after those three agree should price leadership carry much weight.

Bottom line

Chemicals - Inorganic - Caustic Soda/Soda Ash has underperformed NIFTY 500 by 22% over 52 weeks and 6.9% over 13 weeks. 3 of 7 covered companies beat NIFTY on Mansfield relative strength, while 3 of 6 beat the sector itself.

4-Factor Sector Score

An additive sector-relative research score. The four displayed point contributions always equal the total: Growth & earnings (35), Capital efficiency (25), Valuation (20), and Relative strength (20). Missing or stale evidence is absorbed inside the affected factor, never applied as a hidden adjustment.

Growth & earnings · 35%Capital efficiency · 25%Valuation · 20%Relative strength · 20%
TGV Sraac Ltd has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 56.9% evidence confidence.
Tuticorin Alkali Chemicals & Fertilizers Ltd has stronger price confirmation than earnings confirmation; that is a research prompt, not permission to chase.
How this score is built, and what the marks mean

Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led NIFTY 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step curve the sector itself is placed on — basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep — read from how many weeks running it has led NIFTY 500 and whether that lead is widening or shrinking. It describes where the PRICE stands, not the earnings trajectory and not a recommendation, and it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read.

05 · what price has already done

Market action

Gujarat Alkalies & Chemicals Ltd has the strongest one-year price move in Chemicals - Inorganic - Caustic Soda/Soda Ash at +12.9%. It also leads on Mansfield relative strength against NIFTY at +14.7%. 3 of 7 covered companies are above zero on that measure. Every line covers 313 weekly closes through 2026-07-31.

Price and relative strength

Every company, the sector's own index and NIFTY 500 all start level on the left edge of the window, so only the distance between the lines counts — the highest line has risen the most since then, and the chart at the top of this page is drawn the same way. It opens on one year; the buttons beside it stretch that to three or five.

Revenue Scale & Growth Durability

Tata Chemicals Ltd has the highest Revenue among the 7 Chemicals - Inorganic - Caustic Soda/Soda Ash companies compared here, at ₹15,120 crore. Gujarat Alkalies & Chemicals Ltd is next at ₹4,497 crore. TGV Sraac Ltd has the highest Revenue growth at 18.2%, so level and change sit with different companies.

What the numbers say: Tata Chemicals Ltd is the scale leader at ₹15,120 crore, 236.2% ahead of Gujarat Alkalies & Chemicals Ltd. TGV Sraac Ltd's growth is 18.2% from a ₹1,926 crore base, with 13 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.

LeaderTata Chemicals Ltd · ₹15,120 crore
Gap236.2% versus #2 · Gujarat Alkalies & Chemicals Ltd
Persistence3/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage7/7 companies · 114 observations

Investor read: Tata Chemicals Ltd is the scale benchmark; TGV Sraac Ltd is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.

This conclusion weakens if: Tata Chemicals Ltd's growth falls below TGV Sraac Ltd's for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.

Revenue is compared on a common reported-currency basis. Growth is year-on-year, so seasonality does not masquerade as progress.

Gap22.2% versus #2 · Gujarat Alkalies & Chemicals Ltd
Persistence3/8 recent comparable periods

Investor read: GHCL 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.

Operating margin compares operating profit with revenue. Improvement is measured in percentage points, not percentage growth.

Profit Scale & Acceleration

GHCL Ltd has the highest Net profit among the 7 Chemicals - Inorganic - Caustic Soda/Soda Ash companies compared here, at ₹473 crore. TGV Sraac Ltd is next at ₹126 crore. Chemfab Alkalis Ltd has the highest Profit growth at 95.3%, so level and change sit with different companies.

What the numbers say: GHCL Ltd leads with ₹473 crore of TTM profit, 275.4% above TGV Sraac Ltd. Chemfab Alkalis Ltd shows 95.3% growth from a ₹0 crore net cash profit base. Compare the size of the base and persistence before ranking acceleration above profit scale.

LeaderGHCL Ltd · ₹473 crore
Gap275.4% versus #2 · TGV Sraac Ltd
Persistence3/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage7/7 companies · 114 observations

Investor read: GHCL 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 profit growth signal.

Net profit is the residual after operating costs, interest and tax. Growth off a loss or near-zero base is excluded from the fastest-grower rank.

Return On Capital Employed

Tuticorin Alkali Chemicals & Fertilizers Ltd has the highest ROCE among the 7 Chemicals - Inorganic - Caustic Soda/Soda Ash companies compared here, at 22%. GHCL Ltd is next at 17.4%. TGV Sraac Ltd has the highest ROCE change at +5 percentage points, so level and change sit with different companies.

What the numbers say: Tuticorin Alkali Chemicals & Fertilizers Ltd leads ROCE at 22%, 4.6 percentage points above GHCL Ltd. TGV Sraac Ltd has the strongest latest improvement at +5 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.

LeaderTuticorin Alkali Chemicals & Fertilizers Ltd · 22%
Gap26.4% versus #2 · GHCL Ltd
PersistenceNot enough history
Coverage7/7 companies · 45 observations

Investor read: Tuticorin Alkali Chemicals & Fertilizers 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.

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.

Valuation Against Growth & Quality

Gujarat Alkalies & Chemicals Ltd has the lowest PEG among the 7 Chemicals - Inorganic - Caustic Soda/Soda Ash companies compared here, at 0.15×. GHCL Ltd is next at 1.31×. TGV Sraac Ltd has the lowest P/E at 7.23×, so level and change sit with different companies. 2 of 7 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026.

What the numbers say: Gujarat Alkalies & Chemicals Ltd has the lowest comparable PEG at 0.15×, 88.5% below GHCL Ltd. Only 2 of 7 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.

LeaderGujarat Alkalies & Chemicals Ltd · 0.15×
Gap88.5% versus #2 · GHCL Ltd
Persistence2/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage2/7 companies · 11 observations

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.

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.

11 · before the conclusion, check the blind spots

What can make this comparison misleading?

This Chemicals - Inorganic - Caustic Soda/Soda Ash comparison names 6 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. 1 of the 7 companies reports on an older date than the sector's freshest reporters, so its rank is marked stale. 1 of the 5 ranked sections has fewer than three usable current readings.

Keep these limits visible

  • 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 has an older fundamental reporting date than the sector’s freshest reporters; its rank carries a stale marker.
  • Thin comparisons: Valuation have fewer than three usable current readings.

How a second data feed is admitted, and what happens when it disagrees

A second feed is read only after its reported income is matched against the primary source on at least three overlapping periods. Where the two agree the figures fill silently. Where there is too little shared history to compare, the figures are still drawn — they are the only evidence there is — and marked ⚠ unverified everywhere they appear. Where the two are known to disagree, nothing from the second feed is drawn and the affected company is named under the chart it is missing from.
