How PURVA fared against its long-term earnings performance and its industry
PURVA's trailing twelve-month earnings (from 31 March 2019) of ₹1.1b has jumped 25% compared to the previous year.
Furthermore, this one-year growth rate has exceeded its 5-year annual growth average of -5.4%, indicating the rate at which PURVA is growing has accelerated. What's the driver of this growth? Let's take a look at if it is only due to an industry uplift, or if Puravankara has experienced some company-specific growth.
In terms of returns from investment, Puravankara has fallen short of achieving a 20% return on equity (ROE), recording 6.2% instead. However, its return on assets (ROA) of 5.1% exceeds the IN Real Estate industry of 3.0%, indicating Puravankara has used its assets more efficiently. And finally, its return on capital (ROC), which also accounts for Puravankara’s debt level, has increased over the past 3 years from 9.1% to 22%. This correlates with a decrease in debt holding, with debt-to-equity ratio declining from 78% to 61% over the past 5 years.
What does this mean?
