The company's performance over the past year has been notably challenging, with a staggering decline of 37.13%, contrasting sharply with the Sensex's positive growth of 7.29%. KCP Sugar 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 -3.07% CAGR growth in operating profits over the last five years and a concerning EBIT to interest ratio of -0.24. The company's return on equity stands at a modest 7.47%, reflecting low profitability relative to shareholders' funds.
