Growth Rate
AI Analysis — Bull vs Bear
Info Edge (India) Ltd, the parent company of Naukri.com, commands a market cap of ₹80,819 Cr at a PE of 42.9x. The company is virtually debt-free and has delivered 14% TTM sales growth alongside 43% TTM profit growth, though its 3-year average ROE of just 1% and significant other income of ₹1,227 Cr raise questions about the quality and sustainability of core earnings.
- The company is almost debt-free, giving it a clean balance sheet and significant financial flexibility to invest in growth or weather downturns.
- Compounded profit growth stands at 39% CAGR over 5 years and 62% CAGR over 3 years, reflecting strong earnings momentum.
- TTM revenue growth of 14% and a 10-year sales CAGR of 16% demonstrate consistent top-line expansion across economic cycles.
- The company maintains a healthy dividend payout ratio of 42.4%, returning meaningful capital to shareholders even while reinvesting in growth.
- The 10-year stock CAGR of 22% indicates sustained long-term wealth creation for shareholders over a meaningful period.
- TTM profit growth of 43% significantly outpaces TTM sales growth of 14%, suggesting improving operating leverage and margin expansion in recent quarters.
- A price-to-book ratio of 2.16x is relatively modest for a dominant internet platform business, potentially reflecting the drag from investment portfolio mark-to-market fluctuations on book value.
- The current dividend yield of 0.66% provides a small but tangible income stream, supported by the company's debt-free status and cash generation.
- Return on equity averaged just 1% over the last 3 years and only 3% over 5 years, indicating poor capital efficiency relative to the company's market valuation.
- Other income of ₹1,227 Cr forms a substantial portion of total earnings, raising concerns that core operating profitability is significantly lower than headline numbers suggest.
- At a PE of 42.9x, the stock trades at a rich valuation that leaves little room for execution missteps or growth deceleration.
- The 1-year stock return of -8% and 5-year stock CAGR of -1% indicate the stock has meaningfully underperformed in recent years despite reported profit growth.
- 5-year ROE of just 3% paired with a 5-year profit CAGR of 39% suggests much of the profit growth is non-operational or offset by a rapidly expanding equity base diluting returns.
- The gap between 5-year compounded sales growth of 24% and the more recent 3-year sales CAGR of 12% suggests a deceleration in revenue growth momentum.
- Last year's ROE of only 2% shows no meaningful improvement trend despite strong headline profit growth of 43% TTM, underscoring structural capital allocation concerns.
