Pichhle kuch saalon mein iska P/E ratio fluctuate hua hai, jaise March 2021 mein 63.3x aur March 2024 mein 28.7x tak gaya tha. Yeh current ratio future growth ko lekar investors ka confidence dikhata hai.
Regulatory Hurdles?
Volvo Group ne kaha hai ki yeh deal complete hone ke baad unke earnings aur cash flow par koi bada asar nahi padega. Yeh joint venture 2027 ki pehli half tak finalize hone ki ummeed hai, par iske liye Reserve Bank of India (RBI) jaise regulators se approval lena padega.
