Bhandari Hosiery Exports Receives 'Hold' Rating Amid Bullish Trend and Attractive Valuation

Bhandari Hosiery Exports, a microcap company in the textile industry, has recently received a 'Hold' rating from MarketsMOJO. This upgrade comes as the stock has shown a bullish trend and has improved from a mildly bullish status on August 26, 2024. The technical indicators such as MACD, Bollinger Band, and KST are all pointing towards a bullish outlook for the stock. One of the main reasons for the 'Hold' rating is the attractive valuation of the company, with a ROCE of 9.8 and a 1.5 Enterprise value to Capital Employed. Additionally, the stock is currently trading at a discount compared to its average historical valuations. However, it is important to note that the company has shown weak long-term fundamental strength, with an average ROCE of 8.93% and low growth in net sales and operating profit over the last 5 years. Furthermore, Bhandari Hosiery Exports has a high debt to EBITDA ratio of 4.84 times, indicating a low ability to service debt. In the latest quarter, the company's results were flat, with a growth in interest expenses and a decline in net sales. The EPS for the quarter was also at its lowest at Rs 0.09. In the past year, the stock has underperformed the market, generating a return of 17.52% compared to the market's return of 39.36%. This could be attributed to the company's poor long-term growth and weak fundamental strength. Overall, while the technical indicators are currently bullish, investors should carefully consider the company's financial performance before making any investment decisions.
