Growth Rate
AI Analysis — Bull vs Bear
LMW Ltd is a nearly debt-free capital goods company with a market cap of Rs.18,473 Cr, trading at a PE of 107.6x and a PB of 6.56x. TTM sales growth has recovered to 11% and TTM profit growth stands at 76%, but the 3-year compounded profit CAGR remains at -32% and 3-year ROE averages only 7%, indicating an uneven earnings trajectory.
- Company is almost debt free, providing significant financial flexibility and insulation from rising interest rate cycles
- TTM profit growth of 76% signals a sharp earnings recovery from a depressed base
- 5-year compounded sales CAGR of 13% demonstrates the ability to grow revenue over a full business cycle
- 5-year compounded profit CAGR of 16% shows the company can deliver double-digit earnings growth over medium-term horizons
- Healthy dividend payout ratio of 27.1% reflects management's commitment to returning capital to shareholders despite cyclicality
- 10-year stock price CAGR of 15% indicates sustained long-term wealth creation for shareholders
- TTM sales growth of 11% suggests the current revenue cycle is on an upswing after the 3-year CAGR of -12%
- 5-year ROE average of 9% is reasonable for a capital goods company operating through a downcycle
- PE of 107.6x is extremely elevated, pricing in significant future growth that may not materialize given the cyclical earnings history
- 3-year compounded profit CAGR of -32% highlights severe earnings deterioration over the recent medium term
- Last year ROE of just 4% is well below cost of equity, indicating poor capital efficiency in the most recent period
- Earnings include other income of Rs.136 Cr, meaning core operating profit quality may be weaker than headline numbers suggest
- PB ratio of 6.56x is rich, especially for a company with a 3-year average ROE of only 7%
- 10-year compounded sales CAGR of just 1% reflects near-stagnant top-line growth over a full decade
- 10-year compounded profit CAGR of -7% means the company has actually destroyed earnings value over a decade
- Dividend yield of 0.2% offers negligible income support at current valuations
