Profits swing violently in this business — real losses in FY21. That is what “deep cyclical” means: the same company looks brilliant at the top of its cycle and broken at the bottom.net_profit
Where the clock stands now: earnings sit at 39% of their historical range, margins are mid-band, and the market pays the expensive end of its range (81st percentile). That reads as EARLY RECOVERY — the sweet spot of the pendulum — the improvement is visible but not yet fully priced.net_profit
3 of the 6 things we track are currently moving the right way — some things working, some not.
Where the levels actually stand: ROCE 9% — weak; real debt (0.93× equity); margins mid-band. Momentum says which way things are moving; these say where they are.
Read this number for what it is: it measures the DIRECTION of change, not the quality of the business. A mediocre business getting better scores high here; a great one having a soft quarter scores low. Profit, sales and margins count double.
The market has pre-paid for growth that hasn’t arrived yet
Since Mar 2016, the stock is up 267% while earnings per share grew 77%. The difference is re-rating — investors paying more for the same rupee of profit.pricettm_eps
That works until it doesn’t: from here, earnings have to do the lifting, because the multiple has already done its part.
Today’s P/E of 32.5× means the market is paying up — this is the expensive end of its own 10-year history (81st percentile).pe_ratio

Price is the weekly close (₹). EPS is trailing-twelve-month profit per share, anchored on Screener's own snapshots; between snapshots it is filled from price ÷ P/E (an exact identity), and any fill straying more than 18% from the neighbouring snapshots is dropped rather than shown. The lower panel is the P/E — what the market pays per rupee of profit; the dotted line is its long-run median (22.2×).
