Carysil Receives 'Hold' Rating from MarketsMOJO, Shows Positive Results in Q3

Carysil, a smallcap company in the ceramics/marble/granite/sanitaryware industry, has recently received a 'Hold' rating from MarketsMOJO. This upgrade is based on the company's high management efficiency, with a ROCE of 17.53%. In addition, Carysil has shown positive results in the quarter ending September 2024, with its net sales and cash and cash equivalents reaching their highest levels at Rs 207.07 crore and Rs 102.78 crore respectively. The company also has a low debt-equity ratio of 0.53 times.
However, the stock is currently in a mildly bearish range and its technical factors, such as MACD and KST, are also bearish. With a ROCE of 15, the stock is considered to have an expensive valuation with a 3.9 enterprise value to capital employed. On the bright side, the stock is currently trading at a discount compared to its average historical valuations. In the past year, while the stock has generated a return of 16.45%, its profits have risen by 37.2%, resulting in a PEG ratio of 1.2.

One concern for investors is the falling participation by institutional investors, who have decreased their stake in the company by -0.69% over the previous quarter. Currently, institutional investors hold 12.3% of the company, and their expertise in analyzing company fundamentals may be a cause for concern for retail investors.

In the last year, Carysil has underperformed the market, with a return of 16.45% compared to the market's (BSE 500) return of 30.56%. While the company has shown positive results and has a high management efficiency, the bearish technical factors and expensive valuation may be a cause for caution for investors.
