Growth Rate
AI Analysis — Bull vs Bear
Indian Oil Corporation has a market capitalisation of about ₹1,92,049 Cr and trades at a P/E of 5.4 and a P/B of 0.87. It pays a 6.05% dividend yield with a 32.3% payout ratio. Profit has grown sharply, up 111% TTM and at a 62% 3-year CAGR, and last year's ROE was 20%. Over the same periods, sales fell at a 2% annual rate over 3 years, and the stock has compounded at only 3% a year over 10 years, which shows how cyclical the business has been.
- The stock trades at 0.87 times book value, below its stated net worth. This leaves a valuation cushion if the business keeps earning returns near its 16% 10-year average ROE.
- A P/E of 5.4 means earnings yield is roughly 18.5%, a low multiple for a large-cap company in India.
- The dividend yield of 6.05% provides meaningful cash return, and it is backed by a 32.3% payout ratio. That payout leaves most earnings retained for capex and balance-sheet needs.
- Profitability has been steady over the long run: ROE was 16% over both 10 and 5 years, 17% over 3 years, and 20% last year.
- Profit has grown quickly, at 111% TTM and a 62% 3-year CAGR. This points to a strong recovery in refining and marketing margins.
- Top-line momentum has returned with 13% TTM sales growth, reversing the -2% 3-year sales CAGR.
- The stock has compounded at 15% a year over 3 years and 11% over 5 years. These returns come before counting the dividend yield.
- With a market capitalisation of about ₹1,92,049 Cr, IOC is among India's largest petroleum companies, which gives it scale in refining, pipelines and fuel retail.
- Profit growth has swung sharply: 111% TTM and 62% over 3 years, against only 14% over 5 and 10 years. That points to cyclical, margin-driven earnings that may not be sustainable.
- Long-term shareholder returns have been weak. The stock has compounded at only 3% a year over 10 years, even though profit grew 14% a year over that period, which suggests the market consistently applies a low multiple.
- Sales shrank at a -2% CAGR over 3 years, far below the 17% 5-year CAGR. Revenue is highly sensitive to crude prices and pump-price policy.
- The low P/E of 5.4 is based on earnings near a cyclical high, with last year's ROE at 20% against a 16% 10-year average. If margins return to normal, the effective multiple on normalised earnings would be higher.
- The 6.05% dividend yield depends on current profit levels. With a 32.3% payout ratio, a fall in earnings would directly reduce dividends in absolute terms.
- Recent price performance is negative, with the stock down 6% over 1 year even as TTM profit grew 111%. This suggests investors doubt the profit surge will last.
- Debt-to-equity, ROCE and EPS are not available in the data provided (null). That makes it harder to assess leverage and capital efficiency for a capital-intensive business with a ₹1,92,049 Cr market cap.

AI News Digest
- US tariffs threaten Russian crude imports Sep 21
The 'Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act 2026' is now law. It lets President Trump impose tariffs of up to 100% within 30 days on goods from major buyers of Russian energy, after the bill cleared the House 262-159 and the Senate 86-11. Refiners are now looking for non-Russian cargoes for November delivery, even though Russia supplied more than half of India's imports in recent months.
- Tight, costly alternative crude supply Sep 21
Russian Urals delivered to India cost about $133/bbl, and West Asian grades such as Oman and Murban were several dollars higher. Disrupted flows through the Strait of Hormuz make it hard to replace Russian volumes, which were about 1.9 mb/d in September (over 35% of imports). That could squeeze refining margins.
- ₹2,448.70 crore gas pipeline approved Sep 21
On September 21, 2026, the board approved ₹2,448.70 crore for the Kochi-Kanyakumari-Thoothukudi Natural Gas Pipeline project. This widens IOC's gas infrastructure footprint in southern India.
- Panipat crude units back online Sep 10
IOC restarted its 7.5 MTPA crude units at the Panipat Refinery after a 35-day planned maintenance shutdown, bringing that throughput capacity back.
- Packaged water at 43,000 outlets Oct 1
IOC plans to sell packaged drinking water at its 43,000 fuel stations to grow non-fuel income and has invited interested partners.
- Independent director Alka Mundra resigns Sep 18
Independent Director Dr. Alka Mundra resigned effective September 18, 2026. She cited a pecuniary relationship involving her son's dealership.
- Two Executive Directors superannuate Oct 1
Executive Directors Sunit Joshi and Gagan Deep Singh Kohli superannuated on September 30, 2026, according to SEBI disclosures.
- FY27 statutory auditors appointed Sep 21
At its September 21, 2026 meeting, the board noted the C&AG's appointment of four firms as statutory auditors for FY2026-27.
- LPG fraud advisory issued Sep 18
IOC warned LPG customers about unauthorized people asking for money for new connections. It urged customers to pay only through official platforms and listed its toll-free number 1800-2333-555 and the 1906 emergency helpline.
TL;DR: IOC is still investing in growth, with a ₹2,448.70 crore gas pipeline, Panipat's 7.5 MTPA units back after maintenance, and new non-fuel income ideas like packaged water at 43,000 outlets. The main risk is the new US law allowing tariffs of up to 100% on buyers of Russian crude, which could force costlier sourcing while Urals is about $133/bbl and Hormuz supply is disrupted. The trend has worsened on the crude-sourcing side even though operations look steady. Watch November crude procurement and any US tariff action within the 30-day window, since they will shape near-term margins.
