Nakoda Group Faces Financial Struggles Amid Broader Market Decline and Low Profitability

Nakoda Group of Industries, a microcap player in the FMCG sector, has seen significant activity today as its stock price reached a new 52-week low of Rs. 26.71. This decline comes amid a broader market trend, with the Sensex opening lower at 80,508.51 and currently trading at 80,512.72, reflecting a slight loss of 0.11%. Despite the overall market downturn, Nakoda Group's performance today has outpaced its sector by 1.18%.
However, the company's long-term fundamentals raise concerns. Over the past five years, Nakoda Group has experienced a staggering -183.36% CAGR growth in operating profits, coupled with a high Debt to EBITDA ratio of 9.35 times, indicating challenges in servicing its debt. The company's return on equity averages only 4.34%, suggesting low profitability relative to shareholders' funds.

In terms of performance, Nakoda Group has reported a -29.48% return over the past year, significantly underperforming the Sensex, which has gained 1.06%. The company's recent financial results have also shown flat performance, with net sales at a low of Rs. 6.92 crore. Overall, Nakoda Group of Industries continues to face substantial challenges in its market position and financial health.
