TCM Faces Financial Struggles Amid Significant Stock Volatility and Declining Sales

TCM, a microcap company in the pesticides and agrochemicals industry, has experienced significant volatility today, hitting a new 52-week low of Rs. 38. The stock opened with a notable gap down of 8.87% and has underperformed its sector by 6.92%, marking a consecutive decline over the past two days with a total drop of 5.97%.
In terms of performance metrics, TCM's one-year return stands at -31.88%, contrasting sharply with the Sensex's marginal decline of 0.24% during the same period. The company's financial health appears concerning, as it has reported operating losses and a high debt-to-EBITDA ratio of -1.00 times, indicating challenges in servicing its debt. Recent quarterly results show a steep decline in net sales, down 45.31%, and a significant drop in profit before tax, which fell by 247.69%.
