Jindal Worldwide Faces Continued Volatility Amid Declining Performance and High Debt Concerns

Jindal Worldwide, a small-cap player in the Garments & Apparels industry, has recently experienced significant volatility, touching a 52-week low. As of July 11, 2025, the stock is just 0.24% away from this low of Rs 46.2. Today, it underperformed its sector by 1.18%, marking the eighth consecutive day of declines, with a total drop of 15.52% during this period.
The company's performance over the past year has been notably poor, with a decline of 33.04%, contrasting sharply with the Sensex's gain of 3.69%. Jindal Worldwide's operating profit has also suffered, decreasing at an annual rate of 19.64% over the last five years. Recent quarterly results show a significant drop in profit before tax and profit after tax, both falling by over 21%.

Despite its challenges, Jindal Worldwide maintains a return on capital employed (ROCE) of 12.5 and an enterprise value to capital employed ratio of 4.1, suggesting some valuation attractiveness compared to peers. However, the company's high debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 2.81 raises concerns about its ability to service debt, further complicating its market position.
