BFL Asset Finvest Receives 'Hold' Rating After Impressive Short-Term Growth

BFL Asset Finvest, a microcap real estate company, has recently received a 'Hold' rating from MarketsMOJO. This upgrade comes after the company reported very positive results in June 2024, with a growth in net sales of 586.36%. The company's net sales for the half year have grown at an impressive rate of 1,197.50%, with the highest PBDIT and PBT LESS OI in the quarter at Rs 5.51 crore and Rs 5.46 crore respectively.
Technically, the stock is currently in a mildly bullish range, with an improved trend from sideways on 23-Aug-24. The MACD and Bollinger Band technical factors also indicate a bullish trend. Additionally, with a ROCE of 1.4 and an attractive valuation of 1.5 enterprise value to capital employed, the stock is trading at a discount compared to its historical valuations.

Over the past year, BFL Asset Finvest has generated a return of 43.36%, while its profits have risen by a staggering 710%. However, the majority shareholders of the company are non-institutional investors, indicating a weak long-term fundamental strength. The company's operating profits have only grown at a CAGR of 13.06% over the last 5 years, and its ability to service its debt is weak with a poor EBIT to interest ratio of 1.33.

Overall, while BFL Asset Finvest has shown impressive growth in the short term, its long-term fundamentals and debt-servicing ability may be a cause for concern. Investors are advised to hold onto their stocks for now and monitor the company's performance closely.
