Growth Rate
AI Analysis — Bull vs Bear
Godfrey Phillips India has a market capitalisation of about Rs 30,788 crore and trades at 22.5x earnings, 4.96x book value and a 2.53% dividend yield. Its record over several years is strong: profit grew at a 34% CAGR over 5 years and 32% over 3 years, and ROE rose from a 10-year average of 17% to 23% last year. Momentum has slowed recently, though. TTM sales growth fell to 2%, debtor days rose from 33.7 to 51.8, and the stock has lost 40% over the past year.
- Profit has compounded at 34% CAGR over 5 years and 32% over 3 years, well ahead of the 10-year profit CAGR of 24%. Earnings growth has sped up over time.
- Returns on equity have risen steadily, from a 10-year average of 17% to 19% (5-year), 21% (3-year) and 23% last year. Capital efficiency is improving.
- The company is almost debt free, so its balance sheet risk is low and it has room to absorb shocks to demand or taxes without leverage stress.
- Shareholders get a 2.53% dividend yield backed by a 43.4% payout ratio, so a large share of earnings comes back as cash.
- Profit grew 12% on a TTM basis while sales grew only 2%, which suggests margins are still expanding even as the top line slows.
- Sales compounded at 22% over 3 years and 20% over 5 years, roughly double the 10-year sales CAGR of 11%. That points to a stronger growth phase in recent years.
- After a 40% fall in the past year, the stock trades at 22.5x earnings, a lower multiple than its recent growth record of 32-34% profit CAGR might suggest.
- Over the long run, the stock has returned 41% CAGR over 5 years, 42% over 3 years and 17% over 10 years, a record of creating value even after the recent drawdown.
- TTM sales growth has fallen to 2%, down from 22% over 3 years and 20% over 5 years. The top line has slowed sharply.
- The stock has fallen 40% over the past year, which suggests the market expects a lower earnings path. For a cigarette-heavy business, that likely reflects worries about tobacco taxes and regulation.
- Debtor days rose from 33.7 to 51.8, an increase of about 54%. More working capital is tied up in receivables, which could mean weaker cash conversion or looser credit terms with distributors.
- TTM profit growth of 12% is about a third of the 5-year CAGR of 34%. If sales stay near 2% growth, margin gains alone may not keep earnings compounding at past rates.
- At 4.96x book value, the stock carries a significant premium to net assets. The valuation depends on ROE holding at around 23%.
- The 10-year sales CAGR is only 11%, against 20-22% over the last 3-5 years. The recent high growth may be above the long-term trend and could revert.
- A 43.4% dividend payout and 2.53% yield could come under pressure if a higher tax burden squeezes profits, because the dividend is funded from a single core category.
