FUTURE: S&P consensus forward EPS and revenue growth bands (only where estimates exist). PAST: revenue and EPS growth across the published financial history, latest year profitable, ROE bands. HEALTH: debt/equity bands, positive latest net margin, no loss-making year in the history. DIVIDEND: yield bands, years of recorded DPS, DPS trend, and payout (DPS ÷ EPS) at or under 100%.

Valuation & Fair Value — MERIT
Fair P/E Value — sector multiple
Fair P/E not meaningful — earnings are negative.
EPS (TTM) is Rs -1.96, so a P/E multiple cannot produce a meaningful fair price for this stock and no value is shown for this measure.
Fair P/B Value — sector multiple
Rs 8.24
Current price Rs 8.99 · -8.4%
Formula: sector median P/B 0.70× × book value per share Rs 11.77 = Rs 8.24. Sector median across 11 Paper, Board & Packaging peers with a published P/B — the same basis as the median table below. Book value per share from the SCSTRADE company snapshot (Upto 2026 3Q), collected 6 Nov 2026.
Each measure stands on its own stated basis — they are deliberately not blended into a single fair value. Mechanical estimates computed from published data; not investment advice.
