Growth Rate
AI Analysis — Bull vs Bear
Astra Microwave Products has a market capitalisation of about ₹15,222 crore. It trades at a P/E of 80 and a P/B of 11.9, while ROE was 16% last year. Profit has compounded at 46% over 5 years and 40% over 3 years, well ahead of sales growth of 13% over both periods. TTM sales growth has slowed to 4%, and debtor days of 216 and promoter holding of 6.54% stand out on the balance sheet and ownership side.
- Profit has compounded at 46% CAGR over 5 years and 40% over 3 years, showing strong earnings momentum over the medium term.
- Profit growth has far outpaced sales growth: 40% vs 13% over 3 years and 46% vs 13% over 5 years. This suggests meaningful margin expansion and operating leverage in the business.
- ROE has improved steadily, from an 11% 10-year average to 13% over 5 years, 15% over 3 years and 16% last year. Capital efficiency appears to be getting better.
- TTM profit grew 16% even though TTM sales grew only 4%, so profitability kept improving during a slower revenue period.
- Sales growth has been consistent at 13% CAGR over both 3 and 5 years and 11% over 10 years, pointing to steady long-term demand for its defence and aerospace electronics.
- The company has reduced debt, which lowers financial risk. That matters for a business with working capital tied up in 216 debtor days.
- The stock has compounded at 52% over 5 years and 56% over 3 years, reflecting sustained market recognition of its earnings growth.
- The company pays a dividend (yield of 0.15%), so it returns some cash to shareholders while still reinvesting for growth.
- At a P/E of 80, the earnings yield is about 1.25%. The current price already assumes strong growth will continue for a long time.
- A P/B of 11.9 against last year's ROE of 16% is a steep premium to book value. There is little valuation cushion if returns stay flat or fall.
- Debtor days of 216 mean receivables take more than 7 months to collect. This ties up working capital and may reflect dependence on slow-paying government or PSU customers.
- TTM sales growth has slowed to 4%, from a 13% 3-year CAGR. That raises questions about order execution or demand in the near term.
- Promoter holding is just 6.54%, so promoters have limited ownership alignment with minority shareholders.
- The 10-year profit CAGR is only 13%, compared with 46% over 5 years. Part of the recent surge may be recovery from a low base rather than lasting structural growth.
- The stock's 3-year CAGR of 56% is far ahead of the 13% sales CAGR. Much of the return has come from the market paying a higher multiple, which can reverse if sentiment on defence stocks cools.
- A dividend yield of 0.15% gives almost no income support to the valuation.

TL;DR: All recent news for Astra Microwave is routine corporate activity: a completed AGM with dividend approval, a scheduled investor meet and a standard trading-window closure. None of it changes the fundamental picture, and these articles contain no operational, order-flow or financial data. Without new information, the trend is neither improving nor getting worse. The next real catalysts are management commentary at the September 29 investor meet and the Q2FY27 results, which should show how orders are being executed and how margins are holding up.
