Fertilizers & Chemicals Travancore Sees Revision in Score Amidst Market Challenges

Fertilizers & Chemicals Travancore has recently experienced a revision in its score by MarketsMOJO, reflecting a significant adjustment in its evaluation. The company, a prominent player in the fertilizers industry, has faced challenges over the past several quarters, reporting negative results for six consecutive periods. This downturn is highlighted by a notable decline in profit after tax, which has fallen sharply, alongside a decrease in net sales.
Despite its large market capitalization of Rs 63,135 crore, which positions it as the largest company in its sector, the stock's valuation appears expensive, with a high price-to-book ratio. Additionally, the company's return on capital employed has reached a concerning low, raising questions about its financial health.

Interestingly, domestic mutual funds hold a minimal stake in Fertilizers & Chemicals Travancore, suggesting a cautious approach towards the stock. However, the company does exhibit some positive indicators, such as a low debt-to-equity ratio and consistent returns over the past three years. The stock has also been added to MarketsMOJO's list, indicating ongoing interest in its performance metrics.
