Are Panafic Industri latest results good or bad?

Panafic Industrials recently reported its financial results for the quarter ending March 2024, which present a mixed picture of the company's performance. Notably, the Profit After Tax (PAT) for the nine-month period showed an increase to Rs 0.31 crore compared to Rs 0.29 crore in the previous 12-month period.
