Long-Term Performance and Financial Metrics
Over the last 12 months, Containerway International has recorded a total return of approximately -65.75%, a stark contrast to the Sensex’s positive return of 10.46% during the same period. This divergence highlights the stock’s significant underperformance relative to the broader market.
Financially, the company’s operating profits have shown no compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the past five years, indicating stagnation in core earnings. The average EBIT to interest ratio stands at -0.19, reflecting challenges in covering interest expenses from operating earnings.
