Financial and Valuation Indicators
Duropack’s financial indicators reveal several areas of concern. The company’s operating profit growth over the past five years has shown a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.23%, which is modest within its industry. The ability to service debt is limited, with an average EBIT to interest ratio of 1.95, indicating constrained coverage of interest expenses.
Recent half-yearly results show operating cash flow at a low of Rs.1.24 crore and cash and cash equivalents at Rs.0.69 crore, both reflecting tight liquidity conditions. The return on capital employed (ROCE) for the half-year stands at 10.06%, while the return on equity (ROE) is 7.6%, figures that suggest limited efficiency in generating returns from capital invested.
Valuation metrics indicate that Duropack is trading at a price-to-book value of 1.6, which is considered expensive relative to its peers’ historical averages. This premium valuation exists despite the company’s profits declining by 36.2% over the past year, underscoring a disconnect between price and earnings performance.

Summary of Key Concerns
The stock’s decline to Rs.64.17 reflects a culmination of factors including subdued profit trends, constrained cash flows, and valuation levels that do not align with recent earnings performance. The consistent underperformance against benchmark indices over multiple years further emphasises the challenges faced by Duropack in regaining investor confidence.
Despite the broader market’s positive momentum, Duropack’s share price remains under pressure, trading below all major moving averages and continuing a downward trajectory. The stock’s relative weakness within its sector and against the Sensex highlights the need for close monitoring of its financial developments and market positioning.
Market Outlook and Positioning
While the Sensex trades near its 52-week high supported by mega-cap stocks and bullish technical indicators, Duropack’s stock remains detached from this trend. The divergence underscores the differentiated performance within the industrial plastic products sector and the specific challenges faced by the company.
Investors and market participants observing Duropack’s price movements will note the significance of the 52-week low as a key technical level, reflecting the stock’s current valuation and market sentiment.
