  • Birla Corporation Investors Gain 48% in Five Years Despite Earnings Dip
    January 23, 2026, 9:29 PM EST. Birla Corporation (NSE:BIRLACORPN) shareholders have seen a 48% total return over five years, including dividends, despite a 0.4% annual decrease in earnings per share (EPS). The stock fell 12% in the past quarter and underperformed the broader market return of 127% over five years. Key drivers appear to be consistent revenue growth at 8.2% per year, suggesting the company is prioritizing expansion over immediate earnings. The modest 1.0% dividend yield boosted total shareholder returns beyond share price gains. Birla's recent 11% loss contrasts with five-year gains averaging 8% annually, highlighting volatility but long-term growth potential amid analyst coverage and market challenges.
