FAQs
A realistic range is ₹1,680 to ₹1,900, based on current fundamentals and sector outlook.
Credible estimates suggest ₹2,450 to ₹3,100 by 2030, assuming sustained ROCE and market share gains.
Reliable forecasts beyond 2030 are not possible. Such long-term projections are speculative and not based on verifiable data.
The founder Sandip Das and family control the company through promoters holding 54.22% of shares.
Yes, but minimally. It has a consistent dividend history with a current yield of 0.24% and ~18% payout ratio.
The stock corrected due to slowing sales growth (3.8%), high valuation concerns (P/E > 75), and broader building materials sector weakness.
Nearly debt-free—it has ₹78.40 crore in debt but ₹581.30 crore in cash, resulting in strong net cash position.
Final Verdict
Astral is a high-quality player in India’s plumbing and building materials space with exceptional capital efficiency. However, its current valuation (P/E 76x, P/B 11x) demands patience, especially with slowing growth. Our 2026–2030 price targets (₹1,680–₹3,100) reflect steady compounding—not explosive upside. Best suited for investors with a 5-year horizon who believe in India’s housing and infrastructure story.
