On earnings per share of ₹2.32 over the last four quarters, the stock at ₹53.42 trades at 23.0 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?
