## Revenue Scale & Growth Durability

What the numbers say: Shipping Corporation of India Ltd is the scale leader at ₹5,780 crore, 6.9% ahead of Great Eastern Shipping Company Ltd. SEAMEC Ltd's growth is 46% from a ₹952 crore base, with 20 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.

Investor read: Shipping Corporation of India Ltd is the scale benchmark; SEAMEC Ltd is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.

This conclusion weakens if: Shipping Corporation of India Ltd's growth falls below SEAMEC Ltd's for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.

Evidence: Shipping Corporation of India Ltd · ₹5,780 crore | 6.9% versus #2 · Great Eastern Shipping Company Ltd | 4/8 recent comparable periods | 6/6 companies · 102 observations

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

## Operating Economics & Margin Trend

What the numbers say: Great Eastern Shipping Company Ltd leads both opm at 62% and margin change at +21 percentage points.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current margin change signal.

Evidence: Great Eastern Shipping Company Ltd · 62% | 26.5% versus #2 · SEAMEC Ltd | 3/8 recent comparable periods | 5/6 companies · 110 observations

## Return On Capital Employed

What the numbers say: SEAMEC Ltd leads ROCE at 20%, 3.7 percentage points above Knowledge Marine & Engineering Works Ltd. SEAMEC Ltd has the strongest latest improvement at +8.4 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: SEAMEC 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: SEAMEC Ltd · 20% | 22.7% versus #2 · Knowledge Marine & Engineering Works Ltd | 5/8 recent comparable periods | 6/6 companies · 60 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.

## Valuation Against Growth & Quality

What the numbers say: Great Eastern Shipping Company Ltd has the lowest comparable PEG at 0.24×, 58.6% below SEAMEC Ltd. Only 3 of 6 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: Great Eastern Shipping Company Ltd · 0.24× | 58.6% versus #2 · SEAMEC Ltd | 0/8 recent comparable periods | 3/6 companies · 14 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. Great Eastern Shipping Company Ltd (GESHIP): 0.2
2. SEAMEC Ltd (SEAMECLTD): 0.6
3. Shipping Corporation of India Ltd (SCI): 0.9

## 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 is missing from the second-feed metrics by decision, not by absence: the two sources disagree, so nothing from the second is drawn. Read those rows as narrower evidence, never as a weaker business.

### Which Shipping company has the strongest 4-Factor Sector Score?

### Which Shipping company has the lowest comparable PEG?

Great Eastern Shipping Company Ltd has the lowest comparable PEG at 0.24, among 3 of 6 companies whose earnings and growth are steady enough for the ratio to mean anything.

### How much history does this Shipping comparison include?

The page compares up to 20 reported quarters per company for fundamentals, returns and valuation, ending Mar 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.

### What is the Nifty Shipping index?

The Nifty Shipping index tracks India's listed Shipping companies as a single basket. This page follows the same 6 companies and equal-weights them, so every company's weekly return counts once whatever it is worth, and the reading belongs to the Shipping sector rather than to its largest constituent. Figures are as of Mar 2026.

### Which are the best Shipping stocks in India?

Ranked by this page's four-factor score, SEAMEC Ltd places first among 6 listed Shipping companies, followed by Knowledge Marine & Engineering Works Ltd. That is a ranking of published data — earnings, quality, valuation and market behaviour as of Mar 2026 — and not a recommendation; Sector Alpha is not registered with SEBI as an investment adviser.

### How many Shipping stocks are listed in India?

This comparison covers 6 listed Shipping 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 Mar 2026.

### Which Shipping company is the biggest?

Shipping Corporation of India Ltd is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month revenue of ₹5,780 crore, ahead of Great Eastern Shipping Company Ltd at ₹5,408 crore. That covers 6 of 6 companies with comparable reporting through Mar 2026.

### Which Shipping company has the best profit margins?

Great Eastern Shipping Company Ltd has the highest operating margin at 62%, from 5 of 6 comparable companies. Great Eastern Shipping Company Ltd shows the biggest recent improvement, at +21 percentage points. A high margin matters most when it is holding or rising, not when it is peaking.

### Which Shipping company makes the most profit?

Great Eastern Shipping Company Ltd earns the most, at ₹2,942 crore of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 6 of 6 comparable companies. Dredging Corporation of India Ltd has the fastest profit growth at 100%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.

### Which Shipping company earns the highest return on capital?

SEAMEC Ltd leads on return on capital employed at 20%, across 6 of 6 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 Shipping stock is the cheapest?

On PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — Great Eastern Shipping Company Ltd screens cheapest at 0.24×. Only 3 of 6 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 Shipping sector beating the market?

Shipping has outperformed NIFTY 500 by 71.1% over the last 52 weeks and 5.6% over 13 weeks, measured on an equal-weight index of its current members. Inside the sector, 5 of 6 covered companies are beating the market on their own. Sector strength does not transfer evenly to every stock in it.

### Which Shipping stock has the strongest price momentum?

Knowledge Marine & Engineering Works Ltd has the strongest relative strength against NIFTY 500. Relative strength answers last, after growth, quality and valuation: price can move well before the fundamentals confirm it, and sometimes without them confirming at all.

### Which Shipping company scores highest for research priority?

SEAMEC Ltd scores 77.5 out of 100 with 100% evidence confidence, from 29.8 points on growth and earnings, 20.4 on capital efficiency, 18 on valuation and 9.3 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 Shipping companies does this comparison cover, and over what period?

It compares 6 listed companies over up to 20 reported quarters of fundamentals, ending Mar 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 Shipping sector?

The 6 Shipping companies on this page carry ₹46,280 crore of combined market value. Great Eastern Shipping Company Ltd is the largest at ₹19,279 crore, about 42% of the sector's total on its own. Market value moves with price, so this reading is dated 2026-08-05.

### What is the Shipping sector's P/E ratio?

The median price-to-earnings ratio across the 6 Shipping companies on this page is 14.8×, measured on the 5 that report a comparable figure. A sector-level history for this multiple is not held here, so this is a cross-section of today, not a comparison with the sector’s own past. Figures are as of 2026-08-05.

### How is the Shipping sector performing?

5 of the 6 covered Shipping companies are beating NIFTY 500 on Mansfield relative strength. The sector itself is 71.1% ahead of NIFTY 500 over 52 weeks on an equal-weight index of its current members. Readings are as of 2026-08-05.

### Why are some values on this page blank?

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.
