Financially, Quess Corp's long-term growth has been subdued. The company’s operating profit has shown an annual rate of change of -8.88% over the past five years, reflecting challenges in expanding profitability. The results for the quarter ending September 2025 were largely flat, indicating limited near-term momentum. This aligns with the broader trend of below-par performance both in the long term and recent quarters.
Despite the price decline, Quess Corp maintains a relatively low average debt-to-equity ratio of 0.09 times, suggesting a conservative capital structure. The company’s return on equity (ROE) stands at 19.8%, which is a notable figure in the sector. Additionally, the stock trades at a price-to-book value of 2.9, which is considered attractive relative to its peers’ historical valuations.
Profitability metrics reveal a decline of approximately -3.5% in profits over the past year, while the price-to-earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio is at 0.2. At the current price level, Quess Corp offers a dividend yield of 4.73%, which is relatively high and may appeal to income-focused investors.
Institutional investors hold a significant stake in Quess Corp, with 23.89% ownership. This group has marginally increased their holdings by 0.57% over the previous quarter, reflecting a measured adjustment in evaluation by these entities.
