Upper Tamakoshi Hydropower Ltd. (UPPER) Struggles with Heavy Losses Despite Strong Revenues
Upper Tamakoshi Hydropower Ltd. (UPPER) closed FY 2024/25 Q4 with Rs. 6.92 billion in revenue but a net loss of Rs. 2.57 billion, marking its continued struggle to translate strong generation capacity into sustainable profits. While operational margins remain high at 97%, excessive debt and financial costs are eroding profitability. EPS remains negative, book value per share continues to fall, but investor confidence is still reflected in a higher market price of Rs. 198.56. UPPER’s turnaround will depend on restructuring debt and improving financial discipline.

River Falls Power Limited (RFPL) Q4 Results: Revenue Up but Profitability Almost Wiped Out
River Falls Power Limited (RFPL) ended FY 2024/25 Q4 with Rs. 232.94 million revenue and only Rs. 1.08 million profit, down from Rs. 61.63 million last year. While revenues grew nearly 20% and gross margins stayed above 93%, profits collapsed, leading to negligible EPS (0.15) and an extremely high PE multiple. With a strong market price of Rs. 616.50, RFPL’s valuation appears speculative, relying heavily on future growth expectations rather than current profitability.

Union Hydropower Limited (UNHPL) Posts Steady Growth with Improved Profitability in Q4
Union Hydropower Limited (UNHPL) ended FY 2024/25 Q4 with Rs. 75.10 million in revenue and Rs. 26.22 million net profit, marking a more than 2.5x jump in earnings from last year. With EPS at Rs. 3.50, strong gross margins above 97%, and rising ROA/ROE, UNHPL has consolidated its financial stability. However, its high PE ratio (119x) suggests the stock is trading at expensive valuations relative to earnings. With a market price of Rs. 417.81, investors appear bullish on UNHPL’s long-term growth potential.

Gurkhas Finance Ltd. (GUFL) ended FY 2024/25 Q4 with Rs. 838.09 million revenue but a net loss of Rs. 127.39 million, dragged down by rising NPLs and weak income growth. EPS turned negative (-Rs. 14.68), book value fell, and NPLs hit a concerning 16.10% level. On the positive side, GUFL managed to improve liquidity and maintain spreads while lowering cost of funds.
