Cenlub Industries Receives 'Hold' Rating Upgrade

Cenlub Industries, a microcap engineering company, has recently received a 'Hold' rating from MarketsMOJO on September 18, 2023. This upgrade comes after the company declared positive results in September, following two consecutive negative quarters.
One of the key factors contributing to this upgrade is the company's low Debt to Equity ratio, which stands at 0.02 times on average. Additionally, the company's operating cash flow has been the highest at Rs 6.35 crore, while its PBT less OI has grown by 73.8% and PAT has grown by 74.5% in the last quarter.

From a technical standpoint, the stock is currently in a bullish range and has shown a 2.59% return since December 7, 2023. Multiple indicators such as MACD, Bollinger Band, KST, and OBV are also showing a bullish trend for the stock.

The majority shareholders of Cenlub Industries are its promoters, which adds to the company's stability and potential for growth. The stock has consistently outperformed the BSE 500 index in the last three annual periods, with a return of 173.76% in the last year alone.

However, the company's long-term growth has been relatively poor, with a net sales growth rate of 5.96% and operating profit growth rate of 9.39% over the last five years. This, coupled with an expensive valuation of 4.1 Price to Book Value and a PEG ratio of 1.4, suggests that the stock may be trading at a premium compared to its historical valuations.

Overall, while Cenlub Industries has shown strong performance in the past year, investors should carefully consider the company's long-term growth potential and valuation before making any investment decisions.
