Dolfin Rubbers Downgraded to 'Hold' by MarketsMOJO Due to Expensive Valuation and Moderate Long-Term Growth

Dolfin Rubbers, a microcap company in the rubber products industry, has recently been downgraded to a 'Hold' by MarketsMOJO on August 28, 2024. This decision was based on various factors, including the company's high management efficiency with a ROCE of 20.58% and its strong ability to service debt with a low Debt to EBITDA ratio of 1.10 times.
In addition, Dolfin Rubbers has declared positive results for the last 4 consecutive quarters, with its highest net sales of Rs 38.64 crore and PBDIT of Rs 2.96 crore in the most recent quarter. The company's operating profit to net sales ratio is also at its highest at 7.66%. These factors contribute to the stock's technical trend being in a bullish range, with multiple indicators such as MACD, Bollinger Band, KST, and DOW showing a positive outlook.

The majority shareholders of Dolfin Rubbers are non-institutional investors, and the stock has consistently generated returns over the last 3 years. However, its long-term growth has been poor, with net sales only growing at an annual rate of 12.40% over the last 5 years. Additionally, with a ROCE of 17.1, the stock is currently trading at a very expensive valuation with a 5.9 Enterprise value to Capital Employed.

Despite its recent strong performance, the stock is currently trading at a premium compared to its average historical valuations. While it has generated a return of 89.21% in the past year, its profits have only risen by 44%, resulting in a PEG ratio of 0.9. Based on these factors, MarketsMOJO has downgraded Dolfin Rubbers to a 'Hold' and advises investors to carefully consider their options before making any investment decisions.
