- Another major threat is the total equity dilution. It is more than 40% raising concern of the promoter base and belief of the promoters in the company itself.
- The company is engaged in a highly fragmented and highly competitive market where it faces a lot of competition from organized, well-established, unorganized yet growing firms in the sector.
- The company also don’t have any active hedging policy. It is essential for its import obligations.
- The company registered a significant decline in the scale of its operations. It also has a highly deteriorated capital structure and a fragile matrix for the debt coverage indicator.
- Bhatia Colour Chem Limited’s sustainability of the operational margins is also another threat to the company.
- The company’s strength remains constrained by its very sublime and thin profitability margin due to its trading nature of operations.
- It also faces threats of highly stretched liquidity, forex fluctuation risk and volatility in commodity prices.
