SEAMEC Ltd Faces Financial Struggles Amid Declining Profitability and Rising Costs

SEAMEC Ltd, a small-cap player in the transport services industry, has recently undergone a financial trend adjustment reflecting its performance for the quarter ending September 2025. The company reported a significant decline in its quarterly profit after tax (PAT), which stood at Rs -27.48 crore, marking a drastic drop compared to previous periods. This downturn is compounded by the lowest operating profit to interest ratio recorded at 1.58 times and the highest interest expense of Rs 4.96 crore.
Despite these challenges, SEAMEC has shown resilience with a higher PAT of Rs 91.22 crore over the nine-month period, indicating some operational strengths. However, the quarterly metrics reveal concerning trends, including a low operating profit to net sales ratio of 8.05% and a negative profit before tax of Rs -35.18 crore.

In terms of market performance, SEAMEC's stock has faced notable declines, with a year-to-date return of -33.72%, significantly underperforming against the Sensex, which has gained 6.91% in the same timeframe. Over the past year, SEAMEC's stock has dropped by 40.38%, contrasting sharply with the Sensex's modest growth of 5.09%. This performance highlights the ongoing challenges the company faces in a competitive market landscape.
