Growth Rate
AI Analysis — Bull vs Bear
Shipping Corporation of India trades at a PE of 8.6x with a market cap of Rs.14,021 Cr, having delivered 79% TTM profit growth and 43% stock CAGR over the past year. However, the company faces challenges including poor 5-year sales growth of 9%, rising working capital days from 60 to 146 days, and contingent liabilities of Rs.4,305 Cr.
- TTM profit growth of 79% indicates a strong earnings recovery cycle benefiting from elevated freight rates
- PE of 8.6x is significantly below broader market averages, suggesting the stock is not priced for perfection
- Last year ROE of 16% is notably above the 10-year average of 8%, showing improving capital efficiency
- Dividend yield of 2.18% with a consistent 18.4% payout ratio provides tangible shareholder returns
- Stock CAGR of 42% over 3 years and 30% over 5 years reflects sustained re-rating by the market
- TTM sales growth of 17% marks a significant acceleration versus the 0% 3-year compounded sales growth
- Price-to-book of 1.53x is modest for a company with improving profitability and hard asset backing in vessels
- Compounded profit growth of 14% over 5 years demonstrates medium-term earnings traction despite cyclical headwinds
- Working capital days have surged from 60.3 to 146 days, indicating significant deterioration in cash conversion efficiency
- Contingent liabilities of Rs.4,305 Cr represent roughly 31% of current market cap, posing material balance sheet risk
- 5-year compounded sales growth of only 9% reflects structural top-line challenges in a cyclical industry
- 3-year compounded sales growth of 0% shows revenue stagnation prior to the recent TTM uptick
- 3-year average ROE of 11.8% remains below cost-of-equity benchmarks for capital-intensive shipping businesses
- Low reported tax rate raises questions about earnings quality and sustainability of reported net profits
- 10-year compounded profit growth of only 6% highlights the deeply cyclical nature with extended periods of weak earnings
- 10-year stock CAGR of 19% versus 1-year CAGR of 43% suggests much of the value creation is recent and potentially cycle-dependent

- Legal head exits to NFRA Jul 23
Chief Manager (Law) Mr. Panduranga Vittal Pamidimokkala ceased his role effective July 22, 2026, to join NFRA as Executive Director.
TL;DR: SCI delivered a standout Q1 with 75% profit growth and nearly 11 percentage points of margin expansion, signaling strong freight rate realization and operational leverage.
