Prataap Snacks Faces Financial Challenges Amidst Stagnant Growth and Stakeholder Shifts in Q2 FY24-25

Prataap Snacks has recently undergone an adjustment in evaluation, reflecting the company's current market dynamics and operational challenges. The FMCG sector player has encountered notable difficulties, particularly highlighted by its financial results for the second quarter of FY24-25. The company's Profit After Tax (PAT) for this period was reported at Rs 1.28 crore, which indicates a significant shift compared to previous periods. Additionally, the Profit Before Tax (PBT) was recorded at Rs -0.16 crore, while the Profit Before Depreciation, Interest, and Tax (PBDIT) reached Rs 19.16 crore, showcasing a challenging financial landscape.
Over the last five years, Prataap Snacks has shown an annual operating profit growth rate of -0.90%, suggesting a trend of stagnation in its long-term growth trajectory. The company's Return on Equity (ROE) is currently at 2.9, alongside a Price to Book Value ratio of 3.8, which may indicate a higher valuation relative to its book value. Furthermore, there has been a noticeable shift in promoter confidence, with a reduction in their stake by 4.67% in the last quarter, bringing their total holding to 59.53%. In contrast, the broader market, as represented by the BSE 500, has yielded returns of 7.04% over the past year, while Prataap Snacks has not matched this performance, recording a return of -6.16%.
