Dear All, please find below list of Indian 100 best Cos. the numbers coming after company name are PAT score, ROCE score, TOTAL Score & All Inida Ranking,
Any one with long-term plan can invest in these companies, buying share during Dips and downward periods.
India’s most financially stable and capital efficient companies

Profit 100
Outlook Profit – 100
What is Profit 100
India’s most financially stable companies. That is
what Profit 100 brings to you – the annual ranking of
companies based on their ability to grow at a steady
pace year after year and at the same time do a good
job of managing their capital efficiently. So how did
we go about drawing up this list?
It a list that constitutes companies that have managed
to maintain a return on capital of over 12 per cent
every year for the past six years. Some may think this
is hardly a hurdle rate – but this combined with a
steady growth in net profit (after adjusting for
exceptional items) of 12 per cent per annum over the
past five years is what makes this list capture dual
edge of quality and growth. Lending credence to this
profit growth is another criterion which sets a
minimum sales growth of 10 per cent for the same
period. So here we do not have companies that have
relied solely on internal efficiencies to produce
profits, but have had a steadily growing market for
their goods or services. Out went also companies that
were overleveraged for our comfort i.e. had a debtequity
of greater than 1.
Growth is a relatively simple metric that everyone
recognizes is a must, so we will not delve much on
that criteria except that we thought a net profit
growth rate of 12 per cent was fair enough if it was of
good quality. To measure that quality we chose
Return on Capital Employed, why? The toss-up was
between return on capital employed (ROCE) and
return on equity (ROE), which is net profit as a
proportion total shareholder’s funds (networth). If
you are a shareholder, obviously ROE is the relevant
number because that is indeed the return you make at
the end of the day. But then, a company can perk up
its ROE by piling on to additional debt as long as the
cost of funds is cheaper than the return on capital.
But the moment, cost of funds go up, the company
will be in trouble as the additional debt can become
burdensome. And this will eat into the ROE. So it
will not be wrong to say that there is an element in
ROE that is governed purely by market forces (cheap
funds) and no credit is due to the management or the
potential of the business.
If one is trying to build a portfolio of financially
stable companies who are capital efficient, then
looking at a combination of low gearing and
consistently high return on capital employed makes
imminent sense. Our idea for Profit 100 was to judge
the quality of the business itself which the ROCE
number captures better. ROCE does not depend on
capital structure. It is the return that capital, be it
equity or debt, can generate in your business. This
also means if your business is inherently strong, you
do not have to rely on debt to shore up returns.
But dear investor, please remember, this is not a
recommendation to buy stocks. Nor are we claiming
companies out here will be the best performers on the
bourses in the coming months or years. But for many
companies in the list, the probability of delivering
above average performance remains higher,
notwithstanding that much of the measured past
execution was during buoyant times.
