Additionally, its price-to-book value is recorded at 4.23, while the enterprise value to EBITDA ratio is 28.49, suggesting a premium valuation compared to its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization.
In terms of return performance, Lyka Labs has shown varied results against the Sensex. Over the past week, the stock returned 6.93%, outperforming the Sensex's 1.59%. However, on a year-to-date basis, it has declined by 26.10%, contrasting with the Sensex's modest gain of 2.13%.
