Its enterprise value to capital employed ratio stands at a modest 2.59x, indicating reasonable valuation relative to the company’s capital base. The PEG ratio of 0.40 suggests that the stock’s price growth is well supported by earnings growth, which has risen by 37.5% over the past year.

The company maintains low leverage with an average net debt to equity ratio of 0.22 and no promoter share pledging, which supports financial stability.
While the company’s sales growth has been moderate, its earnings growth and profitability metrics have shown marked improvement, contributing to the stock’s strong market performance.
