During the recent quarter, Hindcon Chemicals recorded a financial trend score decline to -7 from -4 over the preceding three months. This shift signals a change in the company’s operational and profitability metrics. The company’s dividend payout ratio (DPR) remains at a high level of 60.55%, indicating a substantial distribution to shareholders relative to earnings. However, operating cash flow on a yearly basis stands at Rs 2.75 crores, marking one of the lowest points in recent periods.
Profit after tax (PAT) for the nine-month period is reported at Rs 2.63 crores, showing a growth rate of -28.34%, which suggests contraction relative to prior comparable periods. Return on capital employed (ROCE) for the half-year is at 9.03%, also reflecting a lower performance level within the company’s historical context. These figures collectively contribute to the recent adjustment in the financial trend parameter for Hindcon Chemicals.
