Let me clarify with the same example. Bajaj Holding’s PE on smallcase screener is around 10. If you check this figure on Money Control, you would see that the standalone PE for the company is 46 and PE on consolidated basis is 10. All the ratios that you see on smallcase screener are on consolidated basis. Also, its a healthy habit to work with consolidated PE, as the stock price also reflects the value of parent’s stakes in the subsidiaries.

I have another query regarding PE on smallcase screener.
Is the PE for TTM or updated only based on last FY EPS?

Also, it’s mentioned in the screener reference that the extraordinary items are excluded from EPS. Does that mean “other income”? As I am still not able to arrive at the PE mentioned in the screener after doing this as well.

Would be great if @vasanthkamath or someone else from the smallcase team can shed some light on this. It would also be great to be able to dive deeper into the data of each company like balance sheet, financials etc. after primary screening since you guys already have the raw data I guess. This can also help correct any errors found in the calculated screener data before making the final decision.
