Financial Performance and Profitability Metrics
PG Foils’ financial indicators over recent periods reveal challenges in profitability and operational efficiency. The company reported a net profit after tax (PAT) of Rs.1.27 crore for the latest six months, reflecting a contraction of 93.08% compared to the previous corresponding period. Net sales for the same period stood at Rs.155.35 crore, showing a decline of 31.92% year-on-year.
Operating cash flow for the year was recorded at Rs.17.19 crore, the lowest level in recent times, indicating limited cash generation from core business activities. The company’s return on equity (ROE) averaged 7.99%, signalling modest profitability relative to shareholders’ funds. The most recent ROE figure is 2.1%, which, combined with a price-to-book value of 0.6, suggests a valuation that may be considered elevated relative to its earnings capacity.
The company’s ability to service debt is constrained, with an average EBIT to interest ratio of 1.74, pointing to limited coverage of interest expenses by operating earnings. This metric underscores the financial pressures faced by PG Foils in managing its obligations.
Long-Term Performance and Valuation
PG Foils has consistently underperformed the BSE500 index over the past three years, with annual returns lagging behind the benchmark in each period. The stock’s 52-week high was Rs.359.80, indicating that the current price level of Rs.166.45 represents a decline of more than 53% from that peak.
Over the last year, the stock’s profits have fallen by 76.1%, reflecting significant pressure on the company’s earnings base. Despite this, the stock trades at a premium compared to the average historical valuations of its peers, which may reflect market perceptions of its future prospects or other factors.
