AI Analysis — Bull vs Bear
Shipping Corporation of India trades at a market cap of Rs.13,999 Cr with a PE of 10.4x and dividend yield of 2.16%. The company has seen strong profit growth (62% TTM) despite muted sales growth (3% TTM), while its stock has delivered a 43% CAGR over the past year.
- Attractive valuation with PE ratio of 10.4x, well below broader market multiples
- Strong TTM profit growth of 62%, indicating significant margin expansion or operational improvement
- ROE improved to 16% in the last year, up from 3-year average of 12% and 5-year average of 11%
- Healthy dividend yield of 2.16% with consistent payout ratio of 18.4%
- Stock CAGR of 43% over 1 year and 3 years reflects sustained re-rating by the market
- Price-to-book ratio of 1.54x suggests the stock is not excessively priced relative to its asset base in a capital-intensive shipping sector
- Compounded profit growth of 14% over 5 years and 16% over 3 years shows improving earnings trajectory
- Long-term stock CAGR of 18% over 10 years demonstrates wealth creation over a full shipping cycle
- Poor sales growth of just 0% compounded over 3 years and only 9% over 5 years, indicating top-line stagnation
- Working capital days deteriorated sharply from 60.3 days to 146 days, signaling potential cash flow and receivables pressure
- Contingent liabilities of Rs.4,305 Cr represent a significant overhang relative to the Rs.13,999 Cr market cap (approximately 31%)
- 10-year compounded sales growth of only 4% suggests structural difficulty in scaling revenue
- 3-year average ROE of only 11.8% is modest for the risk profile of a cyclical shipping business
- Tax rate appears low, which could normalize upward and compress reported earnings in future periods
- TTM sales growth of only 3% despite 62% profit growth suggests earnings are driven more by cost or cyclical freight factors than sustainable demand growth
- 10-year ROE average of just 8% highlights the deeply cyclical nature of returns in the shipping sector

TL;DR: SCI delivered a strong Q1 with 75% profit growth and significant margin expansion to nearly 48%, signaling robust freight markets and operational leverage.
