Over the last year, Nilkamal Ltd has generated a return of -18.61%, which contrasts with the Sensex's positive 9.56% return over the same period. The stock's 52-week high was recorded at Rs.2020, highlighting the extent of the decline to the current low. This underperformance is further reflected in the stock's relative standing against the BSE500 index, where it has lagged over the last three years, one year, and three months.
Financially, Nilkamal's long-term growth metrics reveal modest expansion. Net sales have grown at an annual rate of 13.27% over the past five years, while operating profit has shown a growth rate of 6.60% in the same timeframe. These figures suggest a tempered pace of growth relative to sector peers. The company's recent half-year financials indicate a debtors turnover ratio of 0.67 times, which is on the lower side, and a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.32 times, reflecting a relatively higher leverage position.
Despite these factors, Nilkamal demonstrates a capacity to service its debt obligations, with a Debt to EBITDA ratio of 1.29 times. The company’s return on capital employed (ROCE) stands at 8.2%, accompanied by an enterprise value to capital employed ratio of 1.4, which points to an attractive valuation compared to its historical peer averages. However, the profit figures over the past year have declined by 9.7%, aligning with the stock's negative return during this period.
