Rushil Decor Faces Financial Struggles Amidst Declining Sales and High Debt Concerns

Rushil Decor, a microcap player in the Wood & Wood Products industry, has experienced significant volatility, hitting a new 52-week low of Rs. 23.35 today. The stock has underperformed its sector by 0.28% and has seen a consecutive decline over the past five days, resulting in a total drop of 9.57%. Currently, Rushil Decor is trading below its 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving averages, indicating a bearish trend. In terms of financial performance, Rushil Decor reported a net sales figure of Rs. 210.39 crore for the latest quarter, marking a low point, while its profit before tax (PBT) also fell to Rs. 12.26 crore. Over the past year, the company has recorded a decline of 19.03%, contrasting sharply with the Sensex's gain of 1.90%. The company's long-term fundamentals appear weak, with a return on capital employed (ROCE) of just 9.03% and a high debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 6.06 times, raising concerns about its ability to service debt. Despite its challenges, Rushil Decor is trading at a discount compared to its peers, with an enterprise value to capital employed ratio of 1.1. However, the lack of domestic mutual fund investment, currently at 0%, suggests caution among institutional investors regarding the company's prospects.
