Why this matters

The full read

Sal Automotive's year was simple. Revenue rose 1.8% to ₹38,444 lakhs. Profit fell 21% to ₹426 lakhs. For a company with a ₹99 crore market cap, that profit number is thin. The results follow prior quarterly trends, offering no new explanation for the margin squeeze. The board did recommend a ₹2 per share dividend. The open question is what is pressuring profitability. The filing is silent. Hardly a crisis, but for a nano-cap, every basis point of margin matters.
