B&A Reports Strong Q2 FY24-25 Profit Growth Amid Long-Term Challenges

B&A, a microcap company in the Tea/Coffee industry, has recently undergone an evaluation adjustment reflecting its current market dynamics. The company reported positive financial performance for the second quarter of FY24-25, showcasing a significant increase in profit after two consecutive quarters of decline. Notably, the profit after tax for this quarter reached Rs 25.41 crore, marking a remarkable growth rate of 754.8%. Additionally, operating cash flow has reached its highest level at Rs 32.73 crore, and cash and cash equivalents stand at Rs 36.67 crore.
Despite these positive indicators, the company has faced challenges in long-term growth, with operating profit growing at an annual rate of 6.00% over the past five years. The stock is currently positioned in a mildly bearish technical range, having shifted from a mildly bullish trend earlier in January 2025. The Bollinger Band indicator has also shown bearish signals since late January.

B&A maintains a strong ability to service its debt, evidenced by a low Debt to EBITDA ratio of 1.14 times. With a return on capital employed (ROCE) of 10.5 and an attractive valuation reflected in its enterprise value to capital employed ratio of 1.1, the stock is trading at a discount compared to its historical valuations.
