Ducon Infratechnologies, a microcap company in the trading industry, has recently received a 'Hold' rating from MarketsMOJO on August 7, 2024. This upgrade is based on the company's positive results in March 2024, with its ROCE (HY) reaching a high of 9.28% and PBDIT (Q) at Rs 7.48 crore. Additionally, the company's operating profit to net sales (Q) has also reached a high of 6.98%.
Technically, the stock is currently in a Mildly Bullish range, with its trend improving from Mildly Bearish on August 7, 2024. One key technical factor, the Bollinger Band, has been Bullish since the same date.

With a ROCE of 9.8, Ducon Infratechnologies is considered to have an attractive valuation with a 1.5 Enterprise value to Capital Employed.

Its net sales have only grown at an annual rate of 7.00% and operating profit at 17.29% over the last 5 years. Additionally, the company has a high debt to EBITDA ratio of 4.75 times, indicating a low ability to service debt.

In the last year, Ducon Infratechnologies has underperformed the market, with a return of 22.71% compared to the market's (BSE 500) return of 34.26%. This may be a cause for concern for potential investors.
