CARE Ratings has downgraded JK Agri Genetics' long-term bank facility rating from CARE A- with Negative outlook to CARE BBB+ with Stable outlook, a one-notch downgrade. The agency cited historical pressure on operating profitability as the reason. However, outlook was revised from Negative to Stable, noting a financial turnaround with EBITDA returning to positive, a completely debt-free balance sheet with net cash, zero term debt, and working capital funded entirely from internal surplus without fresh borrowings. Company remains investment grade.
One-notch rating downgrade is negative, but outlook upgrade to Stable and debt-free status cushion the impact. Stock may see mild pressure.
