Growth Rate
AI Analysis — Bull vs Bear
Elgi Equipments has a market capitalisation of about ₹19,110 crore and trades at a P/E of 43 and a P/B of 8.64. Its ROE has held near 20% over the last 3 and 5 years. Trailing-twelve-month sales grew 16% and profit grew 28%, faster than the 3-year compounded rates of 9% for sales and 11% for profit. The stock has returned 24% over 1 year but only 6% annualised over 3 years, as the valuation multiple has shifted relative to earnings growth.
- Over 5 years, profit has compounded at 31% a year while sales compounded at 15%. Profit growing about twice as fast as revenue points to significant margin expansion and operating leverage.
- Growth has picked up recently. TTM sales growth of 16% and profit growth of 28% are well above the 3-year compounded rates of 9% for sales and 11% for profit.
- Return on equity has been steady at 20% over both the 3-year and 5-year periods, up from a 10-year average of 17%. That suggests capital efficiency has structurally improved.
- Over 10 years, profit has compounded at 22% and the stock at 20% a year. Shareholder returns have broadly tracked earnings growth rather than depending only on the valuation multiple rising.
- Over 10 years, sales compounded at 11% and profit at 22%. Profits pulling ahead of revenue over a full decade suggests ongoing gains in mix, pricing or cost efficiency.
- The company has kept a dividend payout of about 20% while still funding growth, which reflects steady cash generation.
- The stock returned 24% over the past year, in line with 5-year TTM-level profit momentum of 28%. This suggests the market is recognising the recent pickup in earnings.
- At a P/B of 8.64, the stock trades at a steep premium to book value. It is flagged separately at 8.56x book, which leaves little room for disappointments in execution.
- A P/E of 43 compared with a 3-year profit CAGR of 11% implies a PEG ratio of roughly 3.9. The valuation depends on the recent 28% TTM profit growth continuing.
- The 3-year stock CAGR of just 6% trails 3-year profit growth of 11%. This shows the multiple has already compressed once, and it could compress again if growth slows.
- Medium-term revenue growth has slowed. The 3-year sales CAGR of 9% is well below the 5-year rate of 15%, so the recent 16% TTM growth has only a short track record so far.
- The company may be capitalising interest cost. That can lift reported profits and weakens comparisons with the 28% TTM profit growth figure.
- The dividend yield of 0.44% is low, so investors get little income cushion if the 43x earnings multiple de-rates.
- Last year's ROE of 19% came in slightly below the 3-year and 5-year average of 20%. This could be an early sign that returns are plateauing.
- Compressor demand in the industrial capital goods sector is cyclical. The swing between 9% 3-year sales growth and 16% TTM growth shows how revenue can vary with the industrial capex cycle.

AI News Digest
- Exits Gentex Air Solutions stake Sep 4
Elgi Compressors USA Inc., the US subsidiary of Elgi Equipments, sold its entire stake in Gentex Air Solutions LLC. The sale ends the exclusivity Elgi Compressors USA held in Texas, which changes how the company distributes or partners in that market.
TL;DR: Only one development was provided: the Sep 4 sale of the US subsidiary's full stake in Gentex Air Solutions LLC, which ends its Texas exclusivity. No deal value or financial impact was disclosed, and the deal looks like a restructuring of distribution, so it is treated as neutral. Losing exclusivity could free Elgi to appoint several dealers or sell directly in Texas, but it could also disrupt sales there for a while. Watch upcoming quarterly results for how US revenue and the Texas channel perform after the sale.
