In the quarter-on-quarter analysis, the company saw a growth of 8.94% in net sales, a significant improvement from the -16.75% decline in the previous quarter. The standalone net profit also showed a positive growth of 7.27%, compared to a steep decline of -68.21% in the previous quarter. However, the operating profit (PBDIT) excluding other income saw a slight decrease of 6.21%, as opposed to a growth of 19.44% in the previous quarter.

The company has consistently generated higher cash revenues from its business operations, with the highest operating cash flow of Rs 13.30 crore annually in the last three years.

However, there are some areas of concern for the company. The half-yearly profit after tax (PAT) has shown a decline of -44.93% year-on-year, and the near-term trend is also negative. The operating profit to interest ratio is at its lowest in the last five quarters, indicating a deteriorating ability to manage interest payments. The quarterly net sales have also fallen by -6.0% compared to the average net sales of the previous four quarters.

Overall, Manaksia Aluminium Company has shown a mixed performance in the quarter ended September 2023. While there are some positive aspects, there are also areas of concern that need to be addressed by the company. Investors are advised to carefully evaluate the company's financials before making any investment decisions.
