Bannari Amman Spinning Mills Faces Challenges Amidst Recent Profit Growth and High Debt Levels

Bannari Amman Spinning Mills, a microcap player in the Garments & Apparels industry, has experienced significant activity today, hitting a new 52-week low of Rs. 27.01. This decline comes after a three-day streak of losses, although the stock has managed to outperform its sector by 0.72% today.
In terms of performance metrics, Bannari Amman has faced a challenging year, with a notable decline of 54.26% over the past 12 months, contrasting sharply with the Sensex's decline of just 3.46%. The company's long-term fundamentals show a negative compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -2.03% in net sales over the last five years, alongside a high debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 8.84 times, indicating difficulties in servicing its debt.

Despite these challenges, the company reported a remarkable 147.83% growth in net profit for the quarter ending June 25, and has shown positive results for the last four consecutive quarters. With a return on capital employed (ROCE) of 4.4 and a PEG ratio of 0.2, Bannari Amman Spinning Mills is trading at a discount compared to its peers, reflecting its current market position.
