Majestic Auto Faces Financial Challenges Amid Declining Profitability and Efficiency Metrics

Majestic Auto has recently undergone a financial trend adjustment, reflecting significant challenges in its performance metrics for the quarter ending March 2025. The company's financial indicators reveal a concerning decline, with a notable drop in profit after tax, which stands at Rs -7.75 crore, marking a drastic change. Additionally, the return on capital employed is at a low of 4.18%, indicating inefficiencies in utilizing capital for generating profits. The operating profit to interest ratio is also troubling, recorded at just 1.06 times, suggesting difficulties in covering interest expenses. Furthermore, the debtors turnover ratio is at its lowest, at 100.50 times, which may point to issues in collecting receivables. Net sales have decreased to Rs 14.87 crore, and the profit before depreciation, interest, and tax is at Rs 3.79 crore, both reflecting the company's struggles in generating revenue. In terms of stock performance, Majestic Auto has shown mixed results compared to the Sensex. Over the past week, the stock returned 4.07%, contrasting with a slight decline in the Sensex. However, on a year-to-date basis, the company has underperformed, with a return of -24.91% compared to the Sensex's 4.06%. Despite these challenges, the company has demonstrated resilience over longer periods, with significant returns over three, five, and ten years.
