Gujarat Containers Receives 'Sell' Rating from MarketsMOJO, Underperforms Market in Past Year

Gujarat Containers, a microcap company in the packaging industry, has recently received a 'Sell' rating from MarketsMOJO on October 7, 2024. This downgrade is based on weak long-term fundamental strength, with a 12.99% CAGR growth in net sales over the last 5 years. In the past year, while the market (BSE 500) has generated returns of 33.39%, Gujarat Containers has underperformed with negative returns of -11.76%.

The stock has also generated -4.66% returns since the downgrade on October 7, 2024. With a ROCE of 24.1, Gujarat Containers has an attractive valuation with a 1.9 enterprise value to capital employed. It is currently trading at a discount compared to its average historical valuations. However, in the past year, while the stock has generated negative returns, its profits have also fallen by -0.2%.
