Meghna Infracon Reports Significant Decline in Sales and Profit Metrics

Meghna Infracon Infrastructure, a microcap player in the finance and non-banking financial company (NBFC) sector, has recently reported a significant downturn in its financial performance. After four consecutive quarters of positive results, the company declared negative outcomes for September 2024. Notably, net sales for the half-year reached Rs 5.45 crore, reflecting a dramatic decline of 84.81%. Additionally, profit before tax (PBT) showed a steep drop to Rs -0.32 crore, marking a fall of 120.65%. The profit after tax (PAT) also decreased significantly, landing at Rs 0.30 crore, down 84.6%.
Despite these challenges, Meghna Infracon maintains a return on equity (ROE) of 19.1, although its valuation appears high with a price-to-book ratio of 49.3. Over the past year, the stock has generated a remarkable return of 210.10%, with profits increasing by 261%. However, domestic mutual funds hold no stake in the company, which may indicate caution regarding its current valuation or business model. The stock remains technically in a mildly bullish range, supported by various positive indicators.
