CG-VAK Software & Exports downgraded to 'Sell' by MarketsMOJO due to negative results and underperformance in market

CG-VAK Software & Exports, a microcap IT software company, has recently been downgraded to a 'Sell' by MarketsMOJO on February 13, 2024. This downgrade is based on the company's negative results in December 2023, with a decline of -32.86% in its PAT (HY) at Rs 4.29 crore and a lowest ROCE (HY) of 25.24%. Additionally, the company's cash and cash equivalents (HY) have also decreased to Rs 9.20 crore.
In the past year, CG-VAK Software & Exports has underperformed the market, generating a return of only 19.78% compared to the market's return of 31.96% (BSE 500). However, the company has shown high management efficiency with a ROE of 19.61% and a low debt to equity ratio (avg) of 0 times. Its operating profit has also grown at an annual rate of 46.14%, indicating healthy long-term growth potential.

The technical trend for the stock is currently sideways, with no clear price momentum. It has deteriorated from a mildly bullish trend on February 13, 2024, and has only generated a return of 1.62% since then. With a ROE of 19.4, the stock is fairly valued with a price to book value of 3.8. However, it is currently trading at a premium compared to its average historical valuations.

It is worth noting that while the stock has generated a return of 19.78% in the past year, its profits have fallen by -18%. This could be a cause for concern for investors. Additionally, the majority shareholders of CG-VAK Software & Exports are its promoters.

In conclusion, MarketsMOJO's downgrade of CG-VAK Software & Exports to 'Sell' is based on its negative results and underperformance in the market. While the company has shown high management efficiency and healthy long-term growth potential, its current technical trend and premium valuation may not be favorable for investors.
