indicates that the Company is comfortably placed to pay for its short term obligations.
• Company operates with manageable level of debt and will be able to ride out bad
economic cycles even if the Company’s profitability margins declines temporarily.
• In terms of profitability, the company has shown reduction in profits in the FY 2016-17,
but the same sluggishness has been observed overall in the textile industry.
• In its latest stock exchange filing dated 31 March 2017, Arvind reported a promoter
holding of 43.07 %. Large promoter holding indicates conviction and sincerity of the
promoters. We believe that a greater than 35 % promoter holding offers safety to the
retail investors.

efficiency and profitability and thus is the best bet to invest in the textile industry.
