Questions

Who are POYA International's main competitors?
Named competitors: Cosmed Pharmaceutical (private or unlisted), Watsons (A.S. Watson, private) (private or unlisted). The cockpit's measured peer set (industry) also includes Watches of Switzerland (WOSG.L), Dunelm (DNLM.L), RH (RH), Bob's Discount Furniture (BOBS), Lalithaa Jewellery Mart (LALITHAA.NS), Lovisa (LOV.AX).
Is POYA International expensive compared with its peers?
On forward p/e it trades at 18.7× against a peer median of 16.5×, 9th most expensive of 20 in its peer set. For today's price to make sense, revenue must grow about 1% a year for seven years (Req g). Recent delivered growth is +8%, so the hurdle is -7 pp: the price already allows for a slowdown.
How has POYA International stock performed?
Over six months to 6 Nov 2026 the shares returned +65.3% against -2.2% for the median peer; over one year +47.2%.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
