The analysis
PhysicsWallah reported ₹1,242 crore and ₹144 crore, with movement of 10%, 106% and 18.2% attached to those lines. Those are the figures as filed — what moves the price is how they sit against what the market already expected, not their absolute size.
Against that, the stock is +4.4% on the day at ₹133.00, and has returned +1.0% over three months. It sits 14% below its 52-week high. The consumer & retail sector has moved -7.9% over the same period, so PhysicsWallah is running 8.9 points ahead of its peers.
For PhysicsWallah, the question is how much of this is already reflected in the price and how much re-rates the consumer & retail peer set alongside it.
