Huhtamaki India Shows Stabilization Amidst Mixed Financial Performance and Market Challenges

Huhtamaki India, a small-cap player in the packaging industry, has recently undergone a financial trend adjustment, reflecting a flat performance for the quarter ending June 2025. The company's score has notably shifted to 5 from a previous -2 over the last three months, indicating a stabilization in its financial metrics.
Key performance indicators reveal that Huhtamaki India achieved its highest quarterly PBDIT at Rs 42.59 crore, alongside an operating profit to net sales ratio of 6.96%, both of which highlight operational efficiency.
