The company's financial metrics reveal a mixed performance landscape. The price-to-earnings ratio stands at -0.26, while the price-to-book value is at 0.43. Additionally, Siddha Ventures shows a significant negative return on capital employed (ROCE) of -167.58% and a return on equity (ROE) of -164.73%, indicating challenges in generating returns for shareholders.
In terms of market performance, Siddha Ventures has experienced a notable decline year-to-date, with a return of -50.16%, contrasting with a modest gain of 3.11% in the Sensex over the same period. Over the past year, the stock has also underperformed, showing a decline of -34.38% compared to the Sensex's -2.41%.
