Financial Performance Overview
Examining Poddar Pigments .'s financial data reveals subdued growth trends over the last five years. Net sales have shown an annual growth rate of 6.65%, while operating profit has expanded at a rate of 1.26% annually. These figures suggest limited expansion in core business operations over the medium term.
Recent quarterly results have been negative for three consecutive quarters, indicating pressure on profitability. The company’s profit after tax (PAT) for the latest six months stands at Rs.7.77 crores, reflecting a decline of 38.96% compared to the previous corresponding period. Return on capital employed (ROCE) for the half year is at 6.75%, which is relatively low, signalling constrained efficiency in capital utilisation.
Cash and cash equivalents for the half year are reported at Rs.20.70 crores, representing a modest liquidity position. The company maintains a low average debt-to-equity ratio of zero, indicating minimal reliance on debt financing.
Valuation and Shareholding
Poddar Pigments . exhibits a return on equity (ROE) of 4.9%, with a price-to-book value ratio of 0.8. This valuation suggests the stock is trading at a level that is broadly in line with or slightly below its book value, which may be considered attractive relative to some peers. However, the stock’s recent returns and profit trends have been below par compared to the broader BSE500 index over one year, three years, and three months.
The majority shareholding is held by promoters, which typically indicates concentrated ownership and potential influence over corporate decisions.
