Advik Capital Downgraded to 'Hold' Rating by MarketsMOJO Due to Current Performance and Market Trends

Advik Capital, a microcap company in the electric equipment industry, has recently been downgraded to a 'Hold' rating by MarketsMOJO on September 30, 2024. This decision was based on the company's current financial performance and market trends.
While Advik Capital has shown healthy long-term growth with an annual increase of 181.44% in net sales and 43.77% in operating profit, its net profit has also seen a significant growth of 235.71%. In fact, in the quarter ending June 2024, the company declared very positive results with a net profit of Rs 2.47 crore, which is a growth of 285.9% compared to the same quarter last year. Additionally, its net sales for the quarter were at Rs 227.79 crore, showing a growth of 49.17%. The company's PBDIT (Profit Before Depreciation, Interest, and Taxes) was also at its highest at Rs 4.75 crore.

With a ROCE (Return on Capital Employed) of 4.2, Advik Capital is currently trading at an attractive valuation with an enterprise value to capital employed ratio of 1.3. Moreover, the stock is currently trading at a discount compared to its average historical valuations.

However, the company's management efficiency has been a cause for concern with a low ROCE of 5.15%. This indicates a low profitability per unit of total capital, which may be a result of poor management decisions.

From a technical standpoint, the stock is currently in a mildly bearish range. The technical trend has deteriorated from mildly bullish on September 30, 2024, and has generated a return of -4.14% since then. The stock's RSI (Relative Strength Index) and MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) technical factors are also bearish.

In the last year, Advik Capital has underperformed the market with a return of 17.30%, while the market (BSE 500) has generated a return of 39.48%. This could be a cause for concern for investors.

It is important to note that the majority of shareholders in Advik Capital are non-institutional investors, which may lead to higher volatility in the stock price. Overall, while the company has shown strong growth potential, its current financial and technical performance may warrant a 'Hold' rating for now.
