Growth Rate
AI Analysis — Bull vs Bear
Maruti Suzuki India Ltd has a market capitalisation of about ₹3,76,969 crore and trades at a P/E of 26.5 and a P/B of 3.54. The company is almost debt free, and its profits grew at a 27% CAGR over 5 years. However, TTM profit fell 1% even though TTM sales rose 27%, and the stock is down 26% over the past year. Return on equity was 14% last year, compared with a 3-year average of 16%.
- The company is almost debt free, so a leveraged balance sheet is not a risk. That leaves room to fund capacity expansion, EV investments and dividends from internal cash, even for a ₹3,76,969 crore business.
- Profit has grown at a 27% CAGR over 5 years and a 21% CAGR over 3 years. Both are well above the 10-year profit CAGR of 12%, which points to a stronger earnings path in recent years.
- TTM sales grew 27%, above the 5-year sales CAGR of 21% and the 3-year sales CAGR of 16%. This suggests demand and volume or pricing momentum are holding up.
- The stock has fallen 26% over the past year while TTM sales rose 27%. The current P/E of 26.5 therefore reflects a valuation that has come down relative to revenue growth.
- Capital efficiency has improved over time. The 3-year average ROE of 16% is above the 5-year average of 14% and the 10-year average of 13%.
- The company keeps a dividend payout ratio of 29.5% and has a dividend yield of 1.16%. It returns cash to shareholders consistently while keeping most of its earnings for growth.
- The company is expected to report a good quarter. If that happens, it could help reverse the flat trend in TTM profit (-1%).
- TTM profit fell 1% while TTM sales grew 27%. This gap points to significant margin compression, possibly from input costs, discounting, product mix or higher expenses.
- The P/E of 26.5 is high relative to the 10-year profit CAGR of 12% and flat TTM profit growth (-1%). This leaves limited room for disappointment if earnings growth does not pick up again.
- Shareholders have seen weak returns. The stock is down 26% over 1 year, and its 3-year CAGR of 4% trails the 3-year profit CAGR of 21%.
- ROE was 14% last year, down from the 3-year average of 16%. This suggests returns on capital have recently weakened, although the balance sheet carries little debt.
- A P/B of 3.54 combined with an ROE of about 14% implies an earnings yield of roughly 3.8% on book value. Investors are paying a notable premium for a mid-teens return profile.
- The 5-year growth rates (21% sales CAGR, 27% profit CAGR) may be inflated by a low pandemic-era base. The longer-run 10-year CAGRs are 12% for both sales and profit.
- Over 10 years, the stock has compounded at 8%, below the 10-year profit CAGR of 12%. This reflects a long-term de-rating of the stock.
- The dividend yield of 1.16% is modest, so income offers little cushion against price swings like the 26% fall over the past year.

- Supply chain cybersecurity push Sep 2
A Maruti Suzuki executive urged stronger cybersecurity backup plans and called on Tier-2 and Tier-3 suppliers to improve their cybersecurity skills.
TL;DR: Maruti Suzuki's demand picture looks strong, with very strong festive-season demand, FY27 growth guidance above 10%, record S-CNG volumes (83,000 units in July) and a plan to reach 4 million units of capacity by FY30. The main near-term risk is input cost inflation, which forced price hikes of up to ₹20,000. Smaller overhangs include the ₹149.64 mn tax penalty, the CCI hearing set for November 2, 2026 and the exit of its production director. Overall the trend is improving, and the key things to watch are whether festive demand turns into actual volumes and whether margins hold up against cost pressure.
