Growth Rate
AI Analysis — Bull vs Bear
Exide Industries Ltd commands a market cap of ₹35,148 Cr at a PE of 38.2x, with TTM sales growth of 8% and profit growth of 11%. The company has reduced debt and maintains a 20.2% dividend payout, but faces headwinds from a low 3-year ROE of 6% and a valuation of 2.57x book value.
- Debt reduction strengthens the balance sheet, lowering financial risk and interest burden going forward
- TTM profit growth of 11% outpaces TTM sales growth of 8%, indicating improving operational efficiency and margin expansion
- 5-year stock CAGR of 18% reflects sustained investor confidence and wealth creation over a medium-term horizon
- Consistent dividend payout of 20.2% signals management commitment to returning cash to shareholders
- 5-year compounded sales growth of 12% shows reasonable top-line expansion driven by automotive and industrial battery demand
- 10-year stock CAGR of 9% demonstrates long-term compounding despite cyclical headwinds in the auto sector
- 3-year stock CAGR of 16% suggests the market has re-rated the stock, potentially pricing in the lithium-ion and energy storage opportunity
- 3-year ROE of just 6% is well below the cost of equity, indicating poor capital efficiency and weak return generation
- PE of 38.2x is elevated for a company delivering only 2% compounded profit growth over 10 years, suggesting stretched valuations
- Price-to-book of 2.57x is high relative to the 6% ROE, meaning investors are paying a premium for sub-par returns on equity
- 10-year compounded profit growth of just 2% highlights chronic earnings stagnation over a full business cycle
- 5-year compounded profit growth of only 1% indicates that top-line gains have not translated into meaningful bottom-line improvement
- Dividend yield of 0.48% offers minimal income cushion, providing little downside protection at current valuations
- 3-year compounded sales growth of 6% has decelerated from the 5-year rate of 12%, suggesting a slowing demand trajectory
- Last year ROE of 6% shows no improvement over the 3-year average, indicating persistent capital efficiency challenges
