## 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).

   - Growth & earnings 7.5/35 | Capital efficiency 7.2/25 | Valuation 10.0/20 | Relative strength 0.0/20
   - Price stage: ASLEEP — Neither ahead of the benchmark nor yet turning up against it.
   - Led NIFTY 500 by 5%+ over the prior 13 weeks in 9 of the last 12 weeks
   - Exact sum: 7.5 + 7.2 + 10 + 0 = 24.7

   - Growth & earnings 15.5/35 | Capital efficiency 5.4/25 | Valuation 10.0/20 | Relative strength 10.0/20

## Revenue Scale & Growth Durability

What the numbers say: Albany International Corp. is the scale leader at $1,204 million, Albany International Corp.'s growth is -0.2% from a $1,204 million 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: Albany International Corp. is the scale benchmark; Albany International Corp. is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.

This conclusion weakens if: Albany International Corp.'s growth falls below Albany International Corp.'s for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.

Evidence: Albany International Corp. · $1,204 million | Not enough peers | 4/8 recent comparable periods | 1/2 companies · 24 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: Albany International Corp. leads both opm at 8.1% and margin change at -1.7 percentage points.

Investor read: Albany International Corp. 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: Albany International Corp. · 8.1% | 252.8% versus #2 · SMJ International Holdings Inc. | 1/8 recent comparable periods | 2/2 companies · 24 observations

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

## Profit Scale & Acceleration

What the numbers say: Albany International Corp. leads with $60 million net cash of TTM profit, Albany International Corp. shows -176.9% growth from a $60 million net cash profit base. Compare the size of the base and persistence before ranking acceleration above profit scale.

Investor read: Albany International Corp. 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.

Evidence: Albany International Corp. · $60 million net cash | Not enough peers | 0/8 recent comparable periods | 1/2 companies · 24 observations

Definition: 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

What the numbers say: Albany International Corp. leads ROCE at 1.8%, 1.8 percentage points above SMJ International Holdings Inc.. Albany International Corp. has the strongest latest improvement at 0 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: Albany International Corp. 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: Albany International Corp. · 1.8% | null versus #2 · SMJ International Holdings Inc. | 1/8 recent comparable periods | 2/2 companies · 25 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: There is not enough comparable evidence to name a reliable peg leader.

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: No comparable leader | Not enough peers | Not enough history | 0/2 companies · 3 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.

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

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