Open questions
- ?Does the rising debt trend and higher borrowing limit reflect funding for new transmission capacity, and how does that compare to POWERGRID's past capex cycles?
- ?What is driving the gap between 5-year revenue growth (+2.7%) and 5-year earnings growth (-0.8%) — margin pressure, one-off items, or a structural shift?
- ?How does the current PE of 13.3x and dividend yield of 4.51% compare to POWERGRID's own historical valuation range, not just sector peers?
- ?Why has the stock declined 9.92% over 3 months despite predominantly positive news flow during the same period?
