Hilton Metal Forging Stock Hits New 52-Week Low at Rs. 41.01

Hilton Metal Forging has reached a new 52-week low, hitting Rs. 41.01 today, marking a significant downturn for the microcap company in the castings and forgings industry. This decline comes as the stock has underperformed its sector by 2.16% and has experienced a consecutive fall over the past four days, resulting in a total drop of 6.52% during this period.
The company's performance over the past year has been notably poor, with a staggering decline of 50.44%, contrasting sharply with the Sensex's positive performance of 8.74% in the same timeframe. Hilton Metal Forging is currently trading below its 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving averages, indicating a persistent downward trend.

Financial metrics reveal weak long-term fundamentals, including a low Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) of 4.63% and a high Debt to EBITDA ratio of 6.49 times, which raises concerns about the company's ability to service its debt. Additionally, 45.61% of promoter shares are pledged, further contributing to the stock's downward pressure in a challenging market environment.
