Are Forbes & Co latest results good or bad?

Forbes & Company has reported its financial results for the quarter ending June 2025, which indicate a notable decline in operational performance compared to previous periods. The net sales for this quarter were Rs 22.45 crore, representing a significant reduction from the average of Rs 49.84 crore over the last four quarters, marking the lowest sales figure in five quarters. This decline suggests a concerning trend in sales performance.
Profit After Tax (PAT) also experienced a substantial decrease, falling to Rs 4.86 crore, which reflects a significant drop from the average PAT of Rs 16.88 crore in the previous four quarters. The operating profit reached its lowest point at Rs 1.15 crore, resulting in an operating profit margin of just 5.12%, indicating challenges in maintaining profitability from core operations.

Furthermore, a large portion of the Profit Before Tax (PBT) was derived from non-operating income, accounting for 85.42%, which raises questions about the sustainability of the company's business model. The Earnings per Share (EPS) fell to Rs 3.77, the lowest recorded in five quarters, highlighting a decline in profitability for shareholders.

In light of these results, the company saw an adjustment in its evaluation, reflecting the operational challenges it faces. Overall, the financial data suggests a difficult quarter for Forbes & Company, with significant declines across key metrics.
