Mahindra EPC Irrigation Reports Negative Financial Performance in Q2 FY25

Mahindra EPC Irrigation, a microcap company in the plastic products industry, has recently declared its financial results for the quarter ending September 2024. According to the report released on October 17, 2024, the company has seen a negative financial performance with a score of -8, which has improved from -14 in the last three months.

One of the major factors contributing to this decline is the decrease in net sales, which have fallen by 21.4% compared to the average net sales of the previous four quarters. This indicates a negative trend in the company’s sales in the near term. Additionally, the operating profit (PBDIT) for the quarter was at its lowest in the last five quarters, standing at Rs -2.95 crore. This also reflects a negative trend in the company’s operating profit in the near term.

The operating profit margin for the quarter was also at its lowest in the last five quarters, at -5.90%. This suggests a decline in the company’s efficiency. Furthermore, the profit before tax less other income (PBT) for the quarter was at its lowest in the last five quarters, standing at Rs -4.34 crore. This indicates a negative trend in the company’s PBT in the near term.

The earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter were also at their lowest in the last five quarters, at Rs -0.99. This shows a decline in the company’s profitability and its ability to generate earnings for its shareholders. Moreover, the dividend payout ratio (DPR) for the last five years has been at its lowest, standing at 0.00%. This means that the company is distributing a lower proportion of its profits as dividends to its shareholders.

Based on these financial results, MarketsMOJO has given a ‘Strong Sell’ call for Mahindra EPC’s stock. It is important for investors to carefully consider these factors before making any investment decisions.
