Vital Financial Metrics to Evaluate

• Total income
  Total income refers to the company's aggregate money from all sources within a certain period.

• Profit after tax
  Profit after tax or PAT is a company's net profit after deducting all expenses, including taxes, from its total revenues. A rising PAT suggests that a company's revenue is growing at a healthy rate.

Indegene Ltd's diluted EPS has been on a growth trajectory, rising to 11.97 in FY 23 from 7.46 in FY 22 and 8.74 in FY 21.
