The company's financial metrics reveal a PE ratio of -457.93, indicating significant challenges in profitability. The price-to-book value stands at 2.99, while the EV to EBIT ratio is noted at 39.01, suggesting a high valuation relative to earnings. Additionally, the EV to EBITDA ratio is recorded at 14.56, and the EV to sales ratio is 1.65, reflecting the company's market positioning.
In terms of returns, Sterlite Technologies has shown a year-to-date return of 41.94%, outperforming the Sensex, which has returned 4.67% in the same period. However, over the past three years, the company has lagged behind the Sensex, with a return of -11.14% compared to the index's 36.46%.
