Fundamental Analysis

1. Growth Story

Maruti Suzuki is a true  market leader with a lion's share of 50% (source) in Indian Passenger Vehicle (PV) segment. This simply means that one in two cars sold in India is made by Maruti Suzuki! 

In the last five years, the company has doubled its revenue and profits which is an incredible performance. 

Recently, Suzuki also announced a partnership with Toyota on various aspects to improvise the capacity utilization, improving sales and global expansion (Africa).

 Maruti Suzuki is definetly posied for growth looking at the long term.

        5. Valuations

        • Current Stock Price: 8945
        • Earnings (last 4 quarters): 62.30 + 59.56 + 82.24 + 51.52 = 225.62
        • PE Ratio: 8945/225.62 = 39.6


        Summary

        Although valuations look bit expensive, given the quality management with proven track record and very strong moat, I personally think Maruti Suzuki is a great investment at current market price (INR 8945) for long term investment.
