Growth Rate
AI Analysis — Bull vs Bear
Astra Microwave Products, a defense electronics company with a market cap of ~₹15,949 Cr, trades at a PE of 83.5x and PB of 12x. The company has delivered strong 5-year profit CAGR of 46% but recent TTM sales growth has slowed to 4%, while promoter holding remains notably low at 6.54%.
- Exceptional 5-year compounded profit growth of 46% CAGR demonstrates strong earnings scalability in the defense electronics segment
- ROE has improved from 11% (10-year average) to 16% last year, indicating improving capital efficiency and profitability
- Company has reduced debt, strengthening its balance sheet and lowering financial risk
- 10-year compounded sales growth of 11% reflects consistent long-term revenue expansion in a sector with strong government tailwinds
- Stock CAGR of 63% over 1 year and 68% over 3 years indicates sustained market confidence and re-rating in the defense theme
- 3-year ROE of 15% is healthy for a capital-intensive defense electronics business, suggesting disciplined execution
- 5-year stock CAGR of 59% and 10-year CAGR of 30% show long-term wealth compounding for shareholders
- PE ratio of 83.5x is extremely elevated, pricing in significant future growth and leaving little margin for execution misses
- Promoter holding at just 6.54% is unusually low, raising governance concerns and signaling limited promoter skin-in-the-game
- TTM sales growth has decelerated sharply to 4% versus the 3-year CAGR of 13%, suggesting potential order execution slowdown
- Price-to-book ratio of 12x is steep, meaning the stock trades at a substantial premium to its net asset value
- High debtor days of 216 indicate significant working capital locked in receivables, typical of government-dependent businesses but a cash flow risk
- Dividend yield of just 0.14% offers negligible income return to shareholders at current price levels
- Gap between TTM profit growth (16%) and 5-year profit CAGR (46%) suggests the high-growth phase may be normalizing
