Chartered Logistics Faces Financial Challenges Amid Mixed Market Performance and Profit Decline

Chartered Logistics, a microcap player in the transport services industry, has recently undergone a financial trend adjustment reflecting its performance in the quarter ending September 2025. The company reported a higher profit after tax (PAT) over the last six months, amounting to Rs 2.36 crore. However, the quarterly figures reveal challenges, with PAT for the latest quarter at Rs 0.34 crore, marking a significant decline of 30.3% compared to the previous four-quarter average.
Additionally, net sales for the quarter stood at Rs 17.39 crore, which is a decrease of 5.5% from the previous four-quarter average. The company's non-operating income has also raised concerns, constituting 322.73% of profit before tax, indicating reliance on non-core activities.

In terms of market performance, Chartered Logistics has shown mixed results when compared to the Sensex. Over the past week, the stock returned 6.89%, outperforming the Sensex's 1.68%. However, year-to-date, the stock has declined by 33.44%, contrasting with the Sensex's gain of 8.41%. Over a longer horizon, the company has seen a notable return of 218.60% over five years, while the Sensex has returned 94.99% in the same period. These trends highlight the volatility and challenges faced by Chartered Logistics in the current market landscape.
