Over the past year, Flexituff Ventures International has recorded a return of -77.02%, a stark contrast to the Sensex's 9.23% gain over the same period. The stock's 52-week high was Rs.74.30, highlighting the extent of the decline. This underperformance extends beyond the last year, with the stock lagging behind the BSE500 index over the last three years, one year, and three months.
Financially, the company faces considerable challenges. Its debt-equity ratio stands at a high 15.34 times, reflecting a significant leverage position. The debt to EBITDA ratio is 5.59 times, indicating a limited capacity to service debt from earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation. The company has reported losses consistently, with negative return on equity (ROE) figures. Specifically, Flexituff Ventures International has declared negative results for twelve consecutive quarters.
Quarterly figures reveal that net sales have fallen sharply, with the latest quarter reporting Rs.11.11 crore in sales, down by 86.10% compared to the previous period. The profit after tax (PAT) for the quarter was a loss of Rs.18.33 crore, reflecting a decline of 141.8%. The half-yearly debt-equity ratio reached 16.17 times, the highest recorded, underscoring the company's elevated financial risk.
The stock is considered risky relative to its historical valuations. Despite the negative returns over the past year, the company’s profits have shown a rise of 27.4%, suggesting some operational aspects may have improved, though this has not translated into stock price recovery. Additionally, 77% of promoter shares are pledged, which can exert additional downward pressure on the stock price in falling markets.
