Long-Term Performance and Valuation Metrics
Star Housing Finance's stock has experienced a significant decline over the past year, with a return of -55.46%, contrasting sharply with the Sensex's 6.92% gain over the same period. The stock's 52-week high was Rs 36.80, highlighting the extent of the recent price contraction.
Financially, the company exhibits a modest return on equity (ROE) averaging 6.10% over the long term, with the latest six-month period showing a ROE of 5.6%. Profit after tax (PAT) for the latest six months stands at Rs 3.17 crore, reflecting a contraction of 47.86% compared to previous periods. Over the past year, profits have declined by 27.8%, indicating challenges in maintaining earnings growth.
The stock's price-to-book value ratio is approximately 1.2, suggesting a valuation that is fair relative to its book value but trading at a discount compared to peers' historical averages. This discount is consistent with the stock's underperformance relative to the BSE500 index over the last three years, one year, and three months.
Majority shareholding is held by non-institutional investors, which may influence trading dynamics and liquidity considerations.
