Sagar Cements Reports Negative Financial Performance in Q1 FY25

Sagar Cements, a smallcap cement company, has recently declared its financial results for the quarter ending June 2024. The company has received a ‘Sell’ call from MarketsMOJO based on its negative financial performance in the quarter.

According to the financials, Sagar Cements has seen a decline in its score from -3 to -8 in the last three months. However, there are some positive aspects to the company’s performance. Its operating cash flow has been consistently growing over the last three years, with the highest amount of Rs 400.40 crore generated annually.

On the other hand, there are some areas where Sagar Cements needs to improve. Its Profit Before Tax (PBT) has fallen by 46.6% compared to the average of the previous four quarters. Similarly, its Profit After Tax (PAT) has also seen a significant decline of 96.5% compared to the average of the previous four quarters. The company’s net sales have also fallen by 10.5% in the quarter, indicating a negative trend in the near term.

Another concerning aspect is the company’s Dividend Payout Ratio (DPR), which is at its lowest in the last five years. This means that Sagar Cements is distributing a lower proportion of its profits as dividends to its shareholders.

Overall, Sagar Cements has reported a negative financial performance in the quarter ending June 2024. Investors should carefully consider these factors before making any investment decisions.
