Roto Pumps Reports Mixed Q2 Results, Operating Cash Flow and Dividends on the Rise

Roto Pumps, a smallcap company in the compressors and pumps industry, recently announced its financial results for the quarter ending September 2024. The company's stock has been given a 'Hold' call by MarketsMOJO.

According to the financial report, Roto Pumps has shown a flat performance in Q2 FY24-25, with a score of -1 compared to -7 in the previous quarter. However, there are some positive aspects to the company's financials. The operating cash flow has been consistently growing over the past three years, with the highest amount of Rs 37.50 crore generated annually. The net sales for the quarter were also at their highest in the last five quarters, indicating a positive trend in the near term.

Roto Pumps has also been distributing higher dividends to its shareholders, with the highest dividend per share of Rs 3.15 in the last five years. The dividend payout ratio has also been consistently high, at 27.29% in the last five years.

On the other hand, there are some areas of concern for Roto Pumps. The profit before tax, excluding other income, has fallen by -15.15% year on year, and the profit after tax has also seen a decline of -10.1% year on year. The earnings per share for the quarter were at their lowest in the last five quarters, indicating a decline in profitability. Additionally, the company's non-operating income has increased, but this may not be sustainable in the long run.

Overall, Roto Pumps has shown a mixed performance in the recent quarter, with some positive and negative aspects. Investors are advised to hold their positions in the company's stock, as recommended by MarketsMOJO.
