Growth Rate
AI Analysis — Bull vs Bear
JSW Steel Ltd is a large-cap metals company with a market cap of Rs.3,10,450 Cr trading at a PE of 11.2x. The company has delivered TTM profit growth of 136% and 10-year sales CAGR of 16%, though its 3-year ROE of ~9% remains subdued and it trades at 3.14x book value.
- TTM profit growth of 136% indicates a sharp recovery in earnings, suggesting strong operating leverage as steel realizations improve
- 10-year compounded sales CAGR of 16% demonstrates consistent top-line expansion through multiple steel cycles
- PE ratio of 11.2x is relatively modest for a large-cap steel producer with Rs.3,10,450 Cr market cap, indicating earnings are not stretched at current levels
- 10-year stock CAGR of 22% reflects long-term wealth creation track record for shareholders
- 5-year ROE of 13% and 10-year ROE of 15% show the company can generate reasonable returns on equity across longer periods despite cyclicality
- TTM sales growth of 12% shows continued revenue momentum in the most recent period
- Company has maintained a healthy dividend payout ratio of 19.8%, providing some income return alongside a 0.56% dividend yield
- 3-year compounded profit CAGR of 35% indicates strong earnings recovery from the post-COVID trough
- Stock trades at 3.14x book value, which is elevated for a cyclical metals business and leaves limited margin of safety if earnings decline
- 3-year ROE of only 9% suggests the company has struggled to generate adequate returns on equity in recent years despite capacity expansion
- Promoter holding decreased by 1.02% in the last quarter, signaling potential dilution or reduced promoter confidence
- Earnings include other income of Rs.18,981 Cr, which inflates reported profits and may not be recurring or operational in nature
- 5-year compounded profit CAGR of just 3% shows that earnings growth over a medium-term cycle has been negligible despite significant capacity additions
- Dividend yield of 0.56% offers minimal income cushion for investors in a downturn scenario
- 3-year sales CAGR of only 4% indicates top-line growth stalled meaningfully in the recent period compared to the 10-year average of 16%
- Last year ROE of 10% remains below the 10-year average of 15%, suggesting the company has not yet returned to peak capital efficiency

The fundamental trend is improving on volume ramp-up and cost discipline, though Q2 margins may compress before recovering in H2.
