Growth Rate
AI Analysis — Bull vs Bear
Container Corporation of India has a market capitalisation of about ₹35,430 crore and trades at a P/E of 28.5x and a P/B of 2.74x. It is almost debt-free and pays out 54.2% of profits as dividends. Growth is modest: sales grew at a 4% CAGR and profit at a 2% CAGR over 3 years, TTM profit fell 6%, and ROE has stayed around 10-11%. The stock has returned -12% over 1 year and -4% CAGR over 5 years.
- The balance sheet is almost debt-free. This gives the company room to fund terminals, rakes and capacity additions linked to the Dedicated Freight Corridor without heavy leverage.
- The dividend payout ratio is a healthy 54.2%. The company has returned a steady share of its earnings to shareholders.
- Profit compounded at 17% a year over 5 years, well ahead of the 7% sales CAGR over the same period. This shows margin and operating-leverage gains over that stretch.
- The 5-year sales CAGR of 7% is higher than the 4% seen over both 3 and 10 years. Growth has been stronger in some periods, which suggests volumes may respond to better rail freight infrastructure.
- ROE has held in a narrow band of 10-11% across the 3-year, 5-year, 10-year and last-year periods. That points to steady profitability for a capital-heavy logistics business.
- The stock has fallen 12% over 1 year and shows a -4% CAGR over 5 years. As a result, the P/E has come down to 28.5x, which partly reflects slower growth already in the price.
- With a market cap of about ₹35,430 crore, CONCOR is one of the largest listed rail-container logistics operators in India. Its scale and terminal network would be hard for a new entrant to copy.
- TTM profit growth is -6% and TTM sales growth is just 2%. Near-term earnings momentum is weak.
- ROE has averaged about 10.5% over the last 3 years. That is low for a company trading at 2.74x book value, so returns on new equity capital are modest.
- A P/E of 28.5x sits against a 3-year profit CAGR of only 2%. The valuation assumes growth well above recent delivery.
- The 10-year sales CAGR is 4% and the 10-year profit CAGR is 3%. Over the long run, growth has been only in low single digits.
- The stock's 10-year CAGR is 3%, with -7% over 3 years and -4% over 5 years. Long-term returns for shareholders have been weak.
- The dividend yield in the data is only 0.34%, which gives little income support at the current price. However, this figure looks low next to a 54.2% payout at a 28.5x P/E, so it should be checked against current data.
- The 5-year profit CAGR of 17% is far above the 3-year profit CAGR of 2%. This suggests the 5-year figure is flattered by recovery from a low base rather than showing lasting growth.

- Investor and analyst meetings in September Sep 16

- Rama Kant Singh appointed Group GM Sep 17

TL;DR: CONCOR's operations look healthy: FY26 throughput grew 9.56% to 5.58 million TEUs, total income hit a record ₹9,443 crore and net profit was ₹1,246 crore. The ₹89.09 crore Eastern Railway order helps but is small at about 3.8% of quarterly revenue. The articles don't give year-on-year profit growth, so it's unclear whether margins kept pace with volumes, and the ₹1.00 final dividend is modest. Most other news is routine governance and investor outreach, with no clear negative developments. The trend looks stable to improving, and the next things to watch are whether profit growth catches up with volume growth and whether more orders come in.
