Heranba Industries, a smallcap company in the pesticides and agrochemicals industry, has recently declared its financial results for the quarter ending September 2024. The company has received a 'Hold' call from MarketsMOJO.

According to the financials, Heranba Industries has shown positive performance in the second quarter of the fiscal year 2024-2025. The company's score has improved from 3 to 13 in the last three months.

Some key highlights from the financial results include a significant growth in Profit Before Tax (PBT) and Profit After Tax (PAT) by 118.9% and 165.2% respectively, compared to the average of the previous four quarters. The company has also generated higher cash revenues from its business operations, with the highest operating cash flow of Rs 135.86 crore in the last three years.

In terms of sales, Heranba Industries has shown a positive trend with the highest net sales of Rs 437.42 crore in the last five quarters, and a growth of 36.9% over the average of the previous four quarters. The company's operating profit and PBT have also shown an upward trend, with the highest figures in the last five quarters.

However, there are some areas that need improvement, as indicated by the financial results. The interest cost has increased by 31.57% quarter on quarter, which could signify increased borrowings. The debt-equity ratio is also at its highest in the last five half-yearly periods, indicating that the company is borrowing more to fund its operations. Additionally, the company's pace of settling its debtors has slowed down, with the lowest debtors turnover ratio in the last five half-yearly periods.

Overall, Heranba Industries has shown positive financial performance in the second quarter of FY24-25, with a strong growth in key areas. However, there are some concerns that need to be addressed in order to maintain a stable financial position. Investors are advised to hold their stock in the company for now, as recommended by MarketsMOJO.
