Growth Rate
AI Analysis — Bull vs Bear
Medplus Health Services trades at a market cap of ₹8,601 Cr with a PE of 40.8x and has delivered 18% compounded sales growth over 5 years, but the stock has declined 23% over the past year while promoters have pledged 60.7% of their holding.
- Strong 5-year compounded profit growth of 28% CAGR indicates improving profitability as the pharmacy retail chain scales
- TTM sales growth of 17% demonstrates continued top-line momentum in a defensive healthcare retail segment
- 5-year compounded sales CAGR of 18% reflects consistent store expansion and same-store sales growth
- Last year ROE improved to 12%, up from the 3-year average of 8%, suggesting improving capital efficiency
- 3-year compounded profit CAGR of 66% shows rapid earnings acceleration from operating leverage on the growing store base
- 10-year compounded profit CAGR of 37% demonstrates a long track record of earnings compounding
- Pharmacy retail is a defensive, non-discretionary sector with structural tailwinds from India's aging demographics and rising healthcare spend
- Promoters have pledged 60.7% of their holding, creating significant risk of forced selling or loss of control in a downturn
- PE of 40.8x is expensive relative to 3-year average ROE of just 8%, implying the market is pricing in growth that may not materialize proportionally
- Stock has declined 23% over the past 1 year, reflecting negative market sentiment and possible derating
- 3-year stock CAGR of -9% shows sustained underperformance despite strong profit growth, suggesting valuation compression
- Zero dividend yield despite repeated profitability indicates no capital return to shareholders
- Price-to-book of 4.35x is elevated for a company generating only 8% ROE over 3 years, implying poor return on reinvested capital relative to valuation
- 3-year average ROE of 8% is below cost of equity for most frameworks, questioning value creation for shareholders
- High promoter pledge of 60.7% combined with stock price decline of 23% in one year raises margin call risk
