Chartered Logistics Reports Q2 FY24-25 Profit Growth Amid Long-Term Challenges

Chartered Logistics has recently undergone an evaluation adjustment, reflecting a nuanced perspective on its financial standing within the logistics industry. The company has reported positive financial performance for the second quarter of FY24-25, showcasing a notable increase in profit after tax, which reached Rs 1.61 crore. This marks a continuation of positive results over the last three consecutive quarters.
However, underlying trends indicate challenges in long-term fundamental strength, highlighted by a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -6.73% in operating profits over the past five years. Additionally, the company's ability to service its debt is a concern, as evidenced by a high debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 6.98 times. The return on equity has averaged at 0.84%, suggesting limited profitability per unit of shareholders' funds.

Despite these challenges, the stock has demonstrated a market-beating performance, generating a return of 43.11% over the past year, significantly outpacing the BSE 500 index's return of 6.58%. The stock is currently trading at a discount compared to its historical valuations, with a fair valuation indicated by a return on capital employed (ROCE) of 2.5.
