This marks a notable decline, with the stock underperforming its sector by 7.68%. The stock's performance has been lackluster over the past year, reflecting a decrease of 24.97%, contrasting sharply with the Sensex's gain of 7.12% during the same period.
Key financial metrics reveal challenges for Balurghat Technologies. The company has reported a negative compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 0.80% in net sales over the last five years, alongside a high debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 4.99 times, indicating difficulties in servicing its debt.
