IVP Faces Financial Strain Amid Declining Profitability and Rising Debt Challenges

IVP, a microcap company in the chemicals industry, has recently undergone an adjustment in evaluation, reflecting a shift in its financial outlook. The company has reported negative financial performance for the third quarter of FY24-25, with a notable decline in profitability metrics. The Debt to EBITDA ratio stands at 3.95 times, indicating challenges in servicing debt obligations. Additionally, the Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) has averaged 9.37%, suggesting limited profitability relative to total capital employed.
