Growth Rate
AI Analysis — Bull vs Bear
Grasim Industries, an Aditya Birla Group flagship with a market cap of ₹2.21 lakh crore, trades at a PE of 19.7x with TTM sales growth of 20% and profit growth of 40%, but carries a low 3-year ROE of approximately 5% and a dividend payout of just 14.6% of profits.
- Strong TTM revenue growth of 20%, indicating robust demand across its diversified business segments including cement (via UltraTech), chemicals, and the new paints vertical
- TTM profit growth of 40% signals significant operating leverage and margin expansion in the most recent period
- 10-year compounded sales CAGR of 18% demonstrates consistent long-term revenue scaling ability
- Stock price CAGR of 22% over 3 years and 17% over 5 years reflects sustained investor confidence and value creation
- PE ratio of 19.7x is moderate for a diversified conglomerate with exposure to high-growth construction and building materials sectors
- Price-to-book of 2.13x suggests the market is not excessively pricing in future growth relative to the asset base
- Entry into the decorative paints business opens a large addressable market estimated at ₹70,000+ crore, diversifying revenue streams beyond legacy businesses
- 5-year compounded sales growth of 18% aligns with the 10-year trend, showing no deceleration in topline momentum
- 3-year ROE of only 5% is notably low for a company of this scale, indicating suboptimal capital efficiency
- 3-year compounded profit CAGR of -10% shows earnings actually contracted over this period despite revenue growth, pointing to margin pressure or heavy investment costs
- Dividend payout of just 14.6% of profits over 3 years and a yield of 0.31% offers minimal income return to shareholders
- 5-year compounded profit growth of only 2% versus 18% sales growth suggests persistent cost headwinds or dilutive capital allocation
- Last year ROE of 5% shows no improvement over the 3-year average of 5%, indicating capital efficiency has not recovered
- Heavy capex for the new paints business (estimated ₹10,000+ crore investment) is yet to generate meaningful returns and weighs on near-term profitability metrics
- 10-year profit CAGR of 8% significantly lags the 10-year sales CAGR of 18%, highlighting a long-term pattern of revenue growth not fully translating to bottom-line
- 1-year stock price CAGR of 18% already prices in much of the recent operational improvement, leaving limited margin of safety if growth disappoints
