Take a case of SICL which is trading at 1155 at the moment which is believed by many to be overpriced. With EPS of last year being above 54, it's PE ratio is 22. However, considering that it has about 50% right shares and about 30-35% bonus share in the offering, combined with strong growth potential (12% in Q1 and 8% in Q2) and a strong position in the market. Even after ignoring the right shares and the growth potential, the fact that the current buyer gets the bonus share of at least 30% bonus shares means that the current PE ratio is 17.
Compare it with Nabil Bank. With EPS of last year being above 91, it's PE ratio is 22 (MP of 2015). In addition, it has a weak growth potential (-20% in Q1 and -5% in Q2) despite the fact that is has a strong position in the market.
