Financial Strength and Operational Highlights
Torrent Pharmaceuticals’ financial metrics underpin its market performance.

Debt servicing capacity remains robust, with a low Debt to EBITDA ratio of 1.01 times, signalling manageable leverage and financial prudence. The operating profit to interest coverage ratio stands at an impressive 24.18 times, underscoring the company’s ability to comfortably meet interest obligations.
Net sales for the latest quarter reached a record Rs.3,303 crore, marking the highest quarterly sales in the company’s history.

Valuation and Growth Considerations
While Torrent Pharmaceuticals exhibits strong returns and operational metrics, certain valuation aspects merit attention. The company’s ROCE of 30.4 corresponds with a relatively high Enterprise Value to Capital Employed ratio of 14.1, indicating a premium valuation compared to capital employed. However, the stock currently trades at a discount relative to its peers’ average historical valuations.
Net sales have grown at an annualised rate of 9.72% over the past five years, a moderate pace that suggests steady but not rapid expansion. Profit growth over the last year was 23.9%, resulting in a Price/Earnings to Growth (PEG) ratio of 2.7, which points to a valuation that factors in growth expectations.
Despite these considerations, the company’s consistent delivery of positive quarterly results and strong financial ratios have supported its upward trajectory and record share price.
