Financial Highlights
According to its recent filing, in the year ending March 2024, the company’s revenue for FY24 stood at Rs. 300 crore, reflecting a decline of 15.25% from Rs. 354 crore in FY23. Similarly, profit decreased by 33.33%, dropping from Rs. 6 crore in FY23 to Rs. 4 crore in FY24.
The company presents a mixed financial picture. While experiencing a significant decline in sales growth at -20%, the company managed to achieve an impressive compounded profit growth of 190%. The stock price has performed well with a 55% CAGR over the five-year period. However, the return on equity has remained relatively stagnant at just 1%, suggesting potential inefficiencies in converting profits into shareholder value.
The average price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio in the steel industry is 26.7, which is more than Newmalayalam Steel’s current P/E ratio of 22.08.
