New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of Indian stocks, typically moving 7.4% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (14% operating cash flow to total debt). Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (7.4% average weekly change).

Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (14% operating cash flow to total debt). Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (5.7% net profit margin). Reported Earnings • Feb 15
