Dhampure Speciality Sugars Receives 'Hold' Rating from MarketsMOJO, Shows Positive Results in September 2024

Dhampure Speciality Sugars, a microcap company in the sugar industry, has recently received a 'Hold' rating from MarketsMOJO on November 27, 2024. This upgrade is based on the company's positive results in September 2024, with its operating cash flow reaching a high of Rs 2.49 crore and net sales growing by 26.66% to Rs 15.44 crore. Additionally, the company's profit after tax has also increased to Rs 1.66 crore.
Technically, the stock is currently in a bullish range and has shown improvement from a mildly bullish trend on November 27, 2024. This is supported by multiple factors such as MACD, Bollinger Band, and KST.

The majority shareholders of Dhampure Speciality Sugars are its promoters, indicating their confidence in the company's performance. In the long term, the stock has outperformed the BSE 500 index, generating a return of 38.44% in the last year.

However, the company's long-term fundamental strength is weak, with a -14.73% CAGR growth in operating profits over the last 5 years. Its ability to service its debt is also poor, with a low EBIT to Interest ratio of -0.16. Additionally, the company's return on equity is only 4.13%, indicating low profitability per unit of shareholders' funds.

With a ROE of 5.2, the stock is currently trading at a very expensive valuation with a price to book value of 2.8. This is higher than its average historical valuations. Furthermore, while the stock has generated a return of 38.44% in the last year, its profits have decreased by -56.6%.

In conclusion, while Dhampure Speciality Sugars has shown positive results and a bullish trend in the short term, its long-term fundamentals and valuation may be a cause for concern. Investors are advised to hold onto their positions and monitor the company's performance closely.
