Net profit was ₹478 cr, — on the year and +33.1% on the quarter, with earnings per share of ₹2.30.
Capital goods and EPC revenue follows project execution, which makes quarters uneven; the order book and new orders tell more about the year than one quarter does. The quarterly statements do not carry the order book, new orders and working capital; those come with the filing read.
On earnings per share of ₹7.55 over the last four quarters, the stock at ₹201.70 trades at 26.7 times trailing earnings.
Written from the quarterly statements. The filing read adds the balance sheet and cash flow filed with this quarter, the auditor's review, segment results, one-off items line by line and what management said on the call.
Half or more of pre-tax profit came from other income. What is it, and does it repeat?
