Financial Performance Underpinning the Rally
SMT Engineering’s recent financial disclosures reveal a strong growth trajectory. The company’s net sales have expanded at an annual rate of 200.71%, while operating profit has grown at 103.44%. Net profit has shown a significant rise of 170.21%, with the company reporting positive results for three consecutive quarters.
Quarterly figures highlight a PBDIT (Profit Before Depreciation, Interest and Taxes) of Rs.9.63 crore and a PBT (Profit Before Tax) excluding other income of Rs.8.53 crore, both representing the highest levels recorded by the company. Additionally, the debtors turnover ratio for the half-year stands at 2.77 times, indicating efficient management of receivables.
Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) is reported at 12%, with an enterprise value to capital employed ratio of 2.1, suggesting a fair valuation relative to the company’s capital base. The stock currently trades at a discount compared to its peers’ average historical valuations, further reflecting its market positioning.
Valuation and Profitability Metrics
Despite the impressive stock price appreciation, SMT Engineering’s profitability metrics present a mixed picture. The company’s average Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) is 2.40%, indicating modest profitability per unit of capital employed. Similarly, the average Return on Equity (ROE) stands at 7.25%, reflecting moderate returns on shareholders’ funds.
Debt servicing capacity appears constrained, with an average EBIT to interest coverage ratio of 1.39. These factors suggest areas where operational efficiency and financial management could be enhanced, even as the stock price reflects strong market momentum.
