IKIO Lighting, a smallcap company in the consumer durables - electronics industry, recently announced its financial results for the quarter ending September 2024. The company's stock has been given a 'Sell' call by MarketsMOJO.

According to the financial report, IKIO Lighting's performance for Q2 FY24-25 has remained flat, with a score of -4, showing a slight improvement from the previous quarter's score of -7.

However, there are some positive aspects to the company's financials. The operating profit to interest ratio for the quarter is the highest it has been in the last five quarters, at 9.62 times. This indicates that the company's ability to manage interest payments has improved.

On the other hand, there are also some areas of concern for IKIO Lighting. The profit before tax (PBT) less other income for the quarter has fallen by -12.8% compared to the average PBT of the previous four quarters. This trend is expected to continue in the near term.

Similarly, the half-yearly profit after tax (PAT) has shown a negative growth of -20.91% year on year (YoY). This indicates a negative trend in the near term for the company's PAT.

Overall, IKIO Lighting'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.
