Remsons Industries Limited (NSE:REMSONSIND) Stocks Shoot Up 25% But Its P/E Still Looks Reasonable

Published
NSEI:REMSONSIND

Remsons Industries Limited (NSE:REMSONSIND) shares have had a really impressive month, gaining 25% after a shaky period beforehand. The annual gain comes to 154% following the latest surge, making investors sit up and take notice.

After such a large jump in price, Remsons Industries may be sending very bearish signals at the moment with a price-to-earnings (or "P/E") ratio of 55.9x, since almost half of all companies in India have P/E ratios under 34x and even P/E's lower than 19x are not unusual. Nonetheless, we'd need to dig a little deeper to determine if there is a rational basis for the highly elevated P/E.

Remsons Industries certainly has been doing a great job lately as it's been growing earnings at a really rapid pace. It seems that many are expecting the strong earnings performance to beat most other companies over the coming period, which has increased investors’ willingness to pay up for the stock. If not, then existing shareholders might be a little nervous about the viability of the share price.

Is There Enough Growth For Remsons Industries?

In order to justify its P/E ratio, Remsons Industries would need to produce outstanding growth well in excess of the market.

Taking a look back first, we see that the company grew earnings per share by an impressive 44% last year. The strong recent performance means it was also able to grow EPS by 124% in total over the last three years. Therefore, it's fair to say the earnings growth recently has been superb for the company.

Comparing that to the market, which is only predicted to deliver 26% growth in the next 12 months, the company's momentum is stronger based on recent medium-term annualised earnings results.

With this information, we can see why Remsons Industries is trading at such a high P/E compared to the market. It seems most investors are expecting this strong growth to continue and are willing to pay more for the stock.

The Bottom Line On Remsons Industries' P/E

Remsons Industries' P/E is flying high just like its stock has during the last month. Typically, we'd caution against reading too much into price-to-earnings ratios when settling on investment decisions, though it can reveal plenty about what other market participants think about the company.

Right now shareholders are comfortable with the P/E as they are quite confident earnings aren't under threat. Unless the recent medium-term conditions change, they will continue to provide strong support to the share price.
