Control Print's Q2 FY25 Financial Results Show Mixed Performance, Investors Advised to Analyze Carefully

Control Print, a smallcap company in the miscellaneous industry, has recently declared its financial results for the quarter ending September 2024. The stock has been given a ‘Strong Sell’ call by MarketsMOJO.

According to the financials, Control Print has seen a negative performance in the quarter, with a score of -9, which has improved from -14 in the last three months. However, there are some positive aspects to the company’s financials. The net sales for the quarter were the highest in the last five quarters, at Rs 101.79 crore, and the near-term sales trend is positive.

On the other hand, there are some areas that are not working in favor of Control Print. The company’s operating cash flow for the year is at its lowest in the last three years, at Rs 49.76 crore, indicating a decline in cash revenues from business operations. The dividend payout ratio (DPR) has also been consistently decreasing over the last five years, with the current DPR at 26.41%, indicating that the company is distributing a lower proportion of its profits as dividends.

The operating profit (PBDIT) for the quarter is also at its lowest in the last five quarters, at Rs 20.24 crore, and the operating profit margin has deteriorated to its lowest at 19.88%. The profit before tax less other income (PBT) for the quarter is also at its lowest in the last five quarters, at Rs 15.22 crore, and the near-term trend for PBT is negative. However, the non-operating income for the quarter is at its highest in the last five quarters, at Rs 2.01 crore, but it may not be sustainable as it comes from non-business activities.

Overall, Control Print’s financial performance for the quarter ending September 2024 has been mixed, with some positive and negative aspects. Investors should carefully consider these factors before making any investment decisions.
