South India Paper Mills Reports Record Q2 Sales Amid Long-Term Profitability Concerns

South India Paper Mills has recently undergone an evaluation adjustment, reflecting a reassessment of its market position and financial metrics. The company operates within the paper and paper products industry and has shown notable activity in its recent financial disclosures.
In the second quarter of FY24-25, South India Paper Mills reported its highest net sales at Rs 101.77 crore, alongside a significant operating profit to interest ratio of 1.32 times. The profit before depreciation, interest, and tax (PBDIT) also reached a peak of Rs 6.42 crore, indicating a strong operational performance during this period.

However, the company's long-term fundamental strength has raised concerns, particularly with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in operating profits of -31.36% over the past five years. Additionally, the average return on equity (ROE) stands at 3.94%, suggesting challenges in profitability relative to shareholders' funds.

Despite the recent performance indicators, the stock is currently trading at a discount compared to its historical valuations. The technical analysis indicates that the stock is in a mildly bullish range, with the On-Balance Volume (OBV) reflecting positive trends since early January 2025.
