Is Cummins India expensive compared with its peers?
On forward p/e it trades at 43.5× against a peer median of 21.2×, 5th most expensive of 21 in its peer set. For today's price to make sense, revenue must grow about 40% a year for seven years (Req g).

How has Cummins India stock performed?
Over six months to 6 Nov 2026 the shares returned -25.1% against -3.9% for the median peer; over one year -7.7%.

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.
