G S Auto International Faces Debt Concerns Despite Recent Profit Growth and Positive Trends

G S Auto International, a microcap player in the auto ancillary industry, has recently undergone an adjustment in evaluation. This revision reflects a complex interplay of financial metrics and market positioning. Over the past five years, the company has recorded a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.98% in net sales, indicating a modest growth trajectory. However, the company's ability to service its debt is a concern, highlighted by a debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 6.41 times.
Despite these challenges, G S Auto International has reported positive financial results for the last five consecutive quarters, with a notable increase in profit after tax (PAT) for the nine-month period, growing by 223.66%. The operating profit to interest ratio has reached its highest at 2.56 times, and the PBDIT for the quarter stands at Rs 2.71 crore.

The stock has faced headwinds, underperforming the broader market, which has seen returns of 5.81% over the past year, while G S Auto International has generated negative returns of -11.85%. The company's return on capital employed (ROCE) is at 9.8, suggesting an attractive valuation relative to its enterprise value to capital employed ratio of 1.5.
