Market Cap
For the company identified by BSE code 509635, the financial performance highlights a solid five-year profit of 14 percents. This figure escalates to 28 percents over the three-year period, pointing to positive momentum in its earnings. Despite these encouraging trends, the trailing twelve-month (TTM) figures uncover an alarming profit loss of 20 percents. This decline, coupled with the fact that the company recorded zero sales across all periods examined, raises red flags about the sustainability of its business model and its ability to generate consistent revenue. Furthermore, the stock price fluctuations during this period further reflect the company's uncertain position. The stock started at 23 percents but has since plummeted to 6 percents recently, painting a picture of rapid decline. Over a longer ten-year horizon, the stock price stood at 6 percents, further underscoring the long-term challenges the company faces in maintaining investor confidence and market value.
The company has a market capitalization of ₹718 crore and is currently trading at ₹486 per share. Historically, the stock has fluctuated within a range of ₹670 / 370, reflecting both the opportunities and risks that investors perceive in the company. The P/E ratio, at 21.7, is relatively high, suggesting that the market has priced in substantial future growth or is willing to pay a premium for the company’s current earnings. The book value per share stands at ₹668, which reflects the net asset value of the company divided by the number of outstanding shares. The dividend yield is 0.41%, providing shareholders with a consistent return on their investment. ROCE is 4.54%, indicating how well the company is using its capital to generate profits, while ROE at 3.66% highlights the returns generated from shareholders' equity. The debt-to-equity ratio is 0.00, signaling low financial leverage, which is typically seen as a positive indicator of financial health.

With a Piotroski score of 7.00, the company's financial stability is evaluated on several factors. Finally, the Graham Number, at ₹580, provides an estimate of the stock’s intrinsic value, while the Price-to-Book (P/B) ratio of 0.73 highlights that the stock is trading at a premium to its book value, potentially reflecting positive market sentiment or overvaluation risks.
