Questions

Which companies are Hero Motors's closest peers?
The cockpit's peer set: Jiangsu Liba Enterprise Joint-Stock (603519.SS), Beijing Jingcheng Machinery Electric (600860.SS), Shang Gong (600843.SS), Schweiter Technologies (SWTQ.SW), Gallant Micro Machining (6640.TWO), Jiangyin PIVOT Automotive Products (301181.SZ), Wuxi Delinhai Environmental Technology (688069.SS), Canature Health Technology (300272.SZ).
Is Hero Motors expensive compared with its peers?
On ev / sales it trades at 4.6× against a peer median of 2.7×, 8th most expensive of 21 in its peer set. For today's price to make sense, revenue must grow about 37% a year for seven years (Req g). Recent delivered growth is +4%, so the hurdle is +33 pp: the price needs faster growth than the company has been delivering — of companies that just grew 25–50% a year, 93.8% slowed down over the next four years.

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.
