Welspun Corp Shares Plummet Over 8% A Day After Q4 Results

The Mumbai-based multinational corporation Welspun Corp's shares nose-dived over 8 per cent in the intraday trade on Friday, May 31. This ostensible debacle came to pass on the last day of May, a day after the company released its Q4 results.

Welspun Fails to Meet Expectations

In the results declared, after trading hours on Thursday, 30 May, the company in its consolidated financial results said, that engendered a net profit of Rs 287.28 crore in March 2024, compared to the Rs 240.08 crore net profit in the previous year. This meant a 19.66 per cent jump in profits.

Despite the jump in profits, the downturn in profit shares is being attributed to the company's failure in meeting expectations.

In addition, according to the company's exchange filing, the company's debt-to-equit ratio decreased from 0.68 to 0.38 in March 2024. This could indicate a reduction in risk for investors. The total current liability of the company dropped to Rs 3,976.84 crore in March 2024, from Rs 8,165.19 crore.
