Long-Term Performance and Valuation Metrics
Over the past year, Xchanging Solutions Ltd has delivered a total return of -30.71%, significantly lagging the Sensex’s 8.29% gain. The stock’s 52-week high was Rs.116.9, indicating a substantial decline of approximately 41.7% from that peak.
The company’s long-term growth metrics have been modest, with net sales increasing at an annualised rate of just 0.46% over the last five years. Operating profit growth over the same period averaged 5.07%, reflecting limited expansion in core earnings.
Despite these subdued growth figures, the company maintains a low average debt-to-equity ratio of zero, indicating a conservative capital structure with minimal leverage. This financial prudence is reflected in its strong operating profit to interest coverage ratio of 12.69 times in the most recent quarter.
