Has the SHEMAROO train has slowed down?

Shemaroo Entertainment is poised for extremely high earnings growth in the near future. Expectations from 2 analysts are extremely positive with earnings per share estimated to surge from current levels of ₹27.513 to ₹45.881 over the next three years. This indicates an estimated earnings growth rate of 21% per year, on average, which signals a market-beating outlook in the upcoming years.

Is SHEMAROO available at a good price after accounting for its growth?

Shemaroo Entertainment is trading at quite low price-to-earnings (PE) ratio of 14.68x. This tells us the stock is undervalued relative to the current IN market average of 17.4x , and undervalued based on its latest annual earnings update compared to the entertainment average of 24.33x . This multiple is a median of profitable companies of 24 Entertainment companies in IN including BGIL Films & Technologies, 52 Weeks Entertainment and Eros International Media.

Given that SHEMAROO's price-to-earnings of 14.68x lies below the industry average, this already indicates that the company could be potentially undervalued. But, seeing as Shemaroo Entertainment is perceived as a high-growth stock, we must also account for its earnings growth, which is captured in the PEG ratio. A PE ratio of 14.68x and expected year-on-year earnings growth of 21% give Shemaroo Entertainment a very low PEG ratio of 0.70x. So, when we include the growth factor in our analysis, Shemaroo Entertainment appears relatively cheap , based on the fundamentals.
