Cantabil Retail India Downgraded to 'Sell' by MarketsMOJO Due to Flat Results and Expensive Valuation

Cantabil Retail India, a smallcap company in the textile industry, has recently been downgraded to a 'Sell' by MarketsMOJO on November 5, 2024. This decision was based on several factors, including the company's flat results in June 2024, with a ROCE (HY) of 15.86% and a DEBTORS TURNOVER RATIO (HY) of 33.85 times, both of which are the lowest in the industry. Additionally, the company's PAT (Q) has fallen by -7.0% to Rs 11.41 crore.
One of the main reasons for the 'Sell' rating is the company's expensive valuation, with a 3.5 Enterprise value to Capital Employed. This is significantly higher than its historical average valuations. Furthermore, while the stock has generated a return of 10.43% in the past year, its profits have decreased by -8.1%.

Another concerning factor is that despite its size, domestic mutual funds hold only 0% of the company. This could indicate that they are not comfortable with the current price or the business itself. Additionally, Cantabil Retail India has underperformed the market in the last year, with a return of 10.43% compared to the market's (BSE 500) return of 32.67%.

However, there are some positive aspects to consider. The company has shown healthy long-term growth, with an annual rate of 57.33% in operating profit. This could potentially lead to future growth opportunities. On the technical side, the trend is currently sideways, indicating no clear price momentum. The technical trend has also deteriorated since November 4, 2024, with a return of -0.57%.

In conclusion, Cantabil Retail India's recent downgrade to 'Sell' by MarketsMOJO is based on its current financial performance and valuation. While there are some positive aspects to consider, investors should carefully evaluate the risks before making any investment decisions.
