Over 4 years profit compounded at 88.5% a year while revenue compounded at 9.7% a year — though FY2023 saw a one-off step-change of 207% (a merger, restructuring or a recovery off a low base), so the compounding is uneven.
Rule PROFIT_CAGR_VS_REVENUE_CAGR
Reported net profit grew 24.3% (FY2025 → FY2026), but pre-tax profit was ₹13,525 — a large exceptional item this year accounts for most of the gain, so the underlying trend is softer than the headline.
Revenue has compounded at 9.7% a year over 4 years (₹69,420 → ₹1,00,469) — though FY2023 saw a one-off step-change of 97% (a merger, restructuring or a recovery off a low base), so the compounding is uneven — steady rather than rapid.

Rule PE_ABOVE_PEERS
On the trailing twelve months. Last full year: P/E 36.7× · P/S 3.5× · ROE 13.7%. TTM and full-year profit differ by more than 15% — a one-off in a recent quarter is moving the trailing figure; weigh it against the full year.
Over 4 years profit compounded at 88.5% a year while the stock returned 5.4% a year — but FY2022 profit (₹788) was well below the through-cycle level (~₹3,335), so this rate is inflated by the recovery from a low base.
