Financial Performance Overview
Sakuma Exports has exhibited subdued financial results over recent periods. The company’s net sales for the latest six months stand at Rs.630.15 crore, reflecting a contraction of 41.66% compared to previous periods. Profit after tax (PAT) for the same duration is reported at Rs.2.38 crore, showing a decline of 65.66%. The company’s profit before tax excluding other income (PBT less OI) for the latest quarter is at a loss of Rs.3.41 crore, representing a fall of nearly 600% relative to the average of the preceding four quarters.
Over the last five years, Sakuma Exports’ net sales have shown a negative compound annual growth rate of 4.30%, while operating profit has declined at an annual rate of 39.63%. These figures highlight challenges in sustaining revenue growth and profitability over the medium term.
Valuation and Shareholder Structure
The company’s return on equity (ROE) is currently at 1.4%, indicating modest profitability relative to shareholder equity. Despite this, the stock trades at a price-to-book value of 0.5, which is considered relatively expensive when compared to historical valuations of its peers. This premium valuation exists even as the stock has generated a negative return of 42.58% over the past year, accompanied by a 74% reduction in profits.
Debt levels remain low, with an average debt-to-equity ratio of 0.02 times, suggesting limited leverage on the company’s balance sheet. The majority of shares are held by non-institutional investors, which may influence trading dynamics and liquidity.

Comparative Market Performance

Additionally, the stock has lagged behind the BSE500 index across multiple time frames, including the last three years, one year, and three months. This underperformance reflects both the company’s financial results and market sentiment.
While the Sensex maintains a position near its 52-week high and benefits from positive technical indicators, Sakuma Exports continues to face downward pressure, trading well below its key moving averages and sector benchmarks.
