Growth Rate
AI Analysis — Bull vs Bear
Vedanta Ltd trades at a PE of 3.6x with a market cap of ₹1,05,835 Cr, offering a dividend yield of 12.72%. The company has delivered strong profitability growth (TTM profit growth of 37%) and maintains a 3-year ROE of 31%, but revenue growth has been negative at -2.28% over five years with significant contingent liabilities of ₹31,673 Cr.
- Exceptionally low PE ratio of 3.6x suggests the stock is trading at a deep discount to earnings relative to broader market valuations
- Dividend yield of 12.72% with a historical payout ratio of 150% provides substantial income return to shareholders
- Last year ROE of 38% and 3-year average ROE of 31% demonstrate consistently high capital efficiency
- TTM profit growth of 37% indicates strong earnings recovery and operational leverage kicking in
- Company has reduced debt levels, improving balance sheet resilience in a cyclical commodity business
- Stock CAGR of 71% over 1 year and 44% over 3 years reflects strong market re-rating momentum
- Compounded profit growth of 17% over 3 years and 13% over 10 years shows long-term earnings compounding despite commodity cycles
- Company is expected to deliver a good upcoming quarter, suggesting near-term operational momentum remains intact
- Compounded sales growth of -2.28% over 5 years and -19% over 3 years indicates persistent top-line weakness and volume/pricing challenges
- Contingent liabilities of ₹31,673 Cr represent a material risk relative to the ₹1,05,835 Cr market cap if any portion crystallizes
- Earnings include other income of ₹14,343 Cr, suggesting core operating profit may be significantly lower than headline numbers indicate
- Promoter holding decreased by 1.66% in the last quarter, signaling potential dilution or reduced promoter confidence
- Company might be capitalizing interest costs, which could overstate reported profitability and asset quality
- TTM sales growth of only 2% despite commodity price recovery suggests structural volume constraints or asset maturity
- 10-year sales CAGR of just 2% shows the business has barely grown its top line over a full commodity cycle
- As a diversified commodities producer, earnings remain highly vulnerable to global commodity price downturns and China demand slowdowns
