Growth Rate
AI Analysis — Bull vs Bear
Astra Microwave Products Ltd is a ₹15,907 Cr market cap aerospace & defense company trading at a PE of 85.1x and 12.66x book value. The company has delivered strong 5-year profit CAGR of 46% and improving ROE (from 11% over 10 years to 16% last year), but TTM sales growth has decelerated to 4% and promoter holding stands at a notably low 6.54%.
- Strong 5-year compounded profit growth of 46% CAGR, indicating significant earnings expansion in the defense sector
- ROE has improved from 11% (10-year average) to 16% in the last year, showing rising capital efficiency
- Company has actively reduced debt, strengthening its balance sheet for future order execution
- Stock has delivered 58% CAGR over 5 years and 31% CAGR over 10 years, reflecting sustained long-term wealth creation
- 3-year compounded profit growth of 40% significantly outpaces 3-year sales growth of 13%, suggesting improving operating leverage and margin expansion
- Consistent 13% compounded sales growth over both 3-year and 5-year periods demonstrates revenue stability in a lumpy defense order environment
- Operates in the aerospace & defense sector which benefits from India's rising indigenous defense procurement push and growing defense budget
- PE of 85.1x is extremely elevated, pricing in significant future growth and leaving little margin of safety
- Promoter holding at just 6.54% is unusually low, raising governance and alignment-of-interest concerns
- Debtor days at 216 days signals very slow receivable collection, tying up significant working capital
- Price-to-book ratio of 12.66x is very high, meaning the stock trades at a steep premium to its net asset value
- TTM sales growth has sharply decelerated to just 4% compared to the 3-year and 5-year CAGR of 13%, suggesting potential order execution slowdown
- Dividend yield of just 0.14% offers negligible income return to shareholders relative to the valuation premium
- Stock has surged 67% in 1 year, increasing the risk of mean reversion if earnings growth does not keep pace with the re-rating
- 10-year compounded profit growth of 13% is far below recent 5-year growth of 46%, indicating that the high-growth phase may be cyclical rather than structural
