On earnings, BEL shares trade at a P\/E of 45.00 against an industry P\/E of 47.55, a discount of about 5% to the sector, which leaves room if earnings keep growing.

Trailing EPS is Rs 8.76.

Note the adjusted closing price on the base date, take the latest close, divide one by the other, raise the result to the power of one third and subtract one.
