Nakoda Group Faces Financial Challenges Despite Notable Sales Growth in FMCG Sector

Nakoda Group of Industries, a microcap player in the FMCG sector, has recently undergone a financial trend adjustment, reflecting a flat performance for the quarter ending March 2025. The company's financial score has shifted significantly, indicating challenges in several key areas.
On a positive note, Nakoda Group reported net sales of Rs 13.98 crore, showcasing a growth of 30.3% compared to the previous four-quarter average. This growth in sales highlights the company's ability to generate revenue despite the broader challenges it faces. However, the company is grappling with several financial hurdles. The PBDIT for the quarter stands at Rs -2.43 crore, marking a low point for the company. Additionally, the operating profit to net sales ratio is at -17.38%, and the profit before tax less other income is recorded at Rs -3.27 crore. The earnings per share also reflect a downturn, with a figure of Rs -1.55.

In terms of market performance, Nakoda Group's stock has seen a decline over various periods, with a year-to-date return of -34.68%, contrasting sharply with the Sensex's gain of 4.47% in the same timeframe. Over the past three years, the stock has decreased by 73.48%, while the Sensex has risen by 48.74%. Despite a notable five-year return of 94.23%, the recent trends indicate a need for strategic reassessment as the company navigates its current financial landscape.
