Quick Insight

HT Media Ltd's current share price of 26.2 reflects a P/E ratio of 33.1, indicating investors are willing to pay a premium for its earnings. The company's Return on Equity (ROE) stands at 0.16%, while Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) is at 3.10%, suggesting room for improvement in operational efficiency. With a negative Operating Profit Margin (OPM) of -7%, cost management is a key area for focus. The balance sheet reveals healthy reserves of 1,620Cr against borrowings of 717Cr, with a comfortable Interest Coverage Ratio (ICR) of 2.77x. However, the low Price-to-Book Value (P/BV) ratio of 0.22x may indicate undervaluation. Overall, improving operational efficiency and leveraging reserves could enhance shareholder value in the long term.
