Antony Waste Handling Cell Downgraded to 'Sell' by MarketsMOJO, Institutional Investors Decrease Stake

Antony Waste Handling Cell, a smallcap company in the miscellaneous industry, has recently been downgraded to a 'Sell' by MarketsMOJO on September 24, 2024. This decision was based on the company's poor long-term growth, with operating profit only growing at an annual rate of 13.48% over the last 5 years. Additionally, the company has declared negative results for the last 3 consecutive quarters, with interest growing at 49.81% and the lowest ROCE at 14.56%. The debt-equity ratio is also at its highest at 0.78 times.
Institutional investors have also decreased their stake in the company by -2.6% over the previous quarter, holding only 15.94% collectively. This is a cause for concern as institutional investors have better resources and capabilities to analyze a company's fundamentals compared to retail investors.

However, there are some positive factors to consider. Antony Waste Handling Cell has a high management efficiency with a ROCE of 19.56% and a low debt to EBITDA ratio of 1.14 times, indicating a strong ability to service debt. The stock is also technically in a mildly bullish range, with multiple factors such as MACD, Bollinger Band, KST, and DOW being bullish.

In terms of valuation, the stock has a fair valuation with a ROCE of 13.4 and an enterprise value to capital employed ratio of 2.6. It is also currently trading at a discount compared to its average historical valuations. Over the past year, the stock has generated a return of 126.59%, while its profits have risen by 35.3%. The PEG ratio of the company is also at a favorable 0.7.

In the long term, Antony Waste Handling Cell has shown market-beating performance, with a return of 126.59% in the last year and outperforming BSE 500 in the last 3 years, 1 year, and 3 months. While there are some concerns about the company's recent performance, it is important to consider all factors before making any investment decisions.
