Net profit has compounded at 18.38% a year since FY22, and FY26 revenue rose 7.96% while June 2026 quarter net profit grew 90.87%.

A multibagger outcome in Odisha-based stocks requires earnings to keep growing faster than the market for several years. Net profit has compounded at 25.75% a year since FY22, and FY26 revenue rose 28.45%. At a PE of 14.22 against an industry PE of 21.29, valuation should be checked against that growth before investing.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_market_cap_of_NALCO_Paradeep_Phosphates_and_IMFA\"><\/span><strong>What is the market cap of NALCO, Paradeep Phosphates and IMFA?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> As of 16 October 2026, NALCO has a market cap of Rs 58,974 crore, Paradeep Phosphates has a market cap of Rs 15,235 crore and IMFA has a market cap of Rs 6,456 crore.

Companies with low production costs and strong cash flows handle these better. IMFA trades at a PE of 12.30 against an industry PE of 11.27, so earnings growth needs to hold up.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_NALCO_trading_below_its_industry_PE\"><\/span><strong>Is NALCO trading below its industry PE?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> NALCO trades at a PE of 8.74 against an industry PE of 12.46.
