A2Z Infra Engineering Receives 'Hold' Rating Amid Bullish Trend and Attractive Valuation

A2Z Infra Engineering, a microcap company in the transmission towers industry, has recently received a 'Hold' rating from MarketsMOJO on January 15, 2024. This upgrade comes as the stock has shown a bullish trend and has generated a return of 30.43% since December 22, 2023. The technical indicators for the stock, such as MACD, Bollinger Band, and KST, are all showing bullish signals. Additionally, the company has an attractive valuation with a ROCE of 4.7 and a 1.7 Enterprise value to Capital Employed ratio. It is also currently trading at a discount compared to its historical valuations. However, there are some concerns regarding the company's long-term fundamental strength. With a high debt-to-equity ratio of 7.11 times and a negative ROE, the company's ability to service its debt is low. In the last quarter, the company reported a loss of Rs. 24.95 crore, which is a significant decrease of 82.6% from the previous quarter. The interest expenses have also increased by 25.95%. Moreover, 99.98% of the promoter shares are pledged, which can put additional downward pressure on the stock prices in a falling market. Despite the company's strong performance in the long term and near term, with a return of 44.91% in the last year and outperforming BSE 500 in the last 3 years, 1 year, and 3 months, the recent flat results in September 2023 raise some concerns. Overall, while the technical indicators are showing a bullish trend for A2Z Infra Engineering, the company's high debt and negative financial performance in the last quarter may be a cause for concern. Investors may want to hold onto their positions and monitor the company's future performance before making any further investment decisions.
