 ** NOCF – Net operating cash flow

The company is growing at a CAGR of 35%+ with it's margins expanding and profits growing faster than sales. The company enjoys significant pricing power and is able to convert it's profits into cash.

Usually companies compromise on profits, margins and cash flows when growing at such a fast rate every year. DMart owns most of the real estate and plans to continue this model of operations which will keep costs low in the long run and increase the book value when real estate prices go up.

But the IPO comes at a P/E level of 46 which is very expensive for a company whose net profit margin is just 3.7%. This leaves no margin for safety. However, no IPO in this market will come at a PE of 15 or 20.
