Hind Rectifiers Downgraded to 'Hold' by MarketsMOJO

Hind Rectifiers, a microcap company in the electronics-components industry, has recently been downgraded to a 'Hold' by MarketsMOJO on December 20, 2023. This decision was based on various factors, including the company's recent financial performance and technical indicators.
In September 2023, Hind Rectifiers reported a 69.99% growth in net sales, which was deemed as a very positive result. The company has also consistently declared positive results for the last four quarters. Its PBT LESS OI(Q) has grown at an impressive rate of 204.61%, while its PAT(Q) has grown at 198.0%. Additionally, the company's ROCE(HY) is at its highest at 12.72%.

Technically, the stock is currently in a mildly bullish range, with multiple factors such as MACD, KST, and OBV indicating a bullish trend. In the long term, Hind Rectifiers has outperformed the BSE 500 index and has generated a return of 143.32% in the last year.

However, there are some concerns regarding the company's ability to service its debt, as it has a high Debt to EBITDA ratio of 3.76 times. This could potentially impact its long-term growth, as its operating profit has only grown at an annual rate of 7.61% over the last five years.

Moreover, with a ROCE of 12.7, the company's valuation is considered to be very expensive, with an enterprise value to capital employed ratio of 4.5. However, the stock is currently trading at a discount compared to its average historical valuations.

It is also worth noting that despite its size, domestic mutual funds hold only 0.01% of the company, which could indicate their discomfort with the stock's price or business. As domestic mutual funds have the capability to conduct in-depth research on companies, this could be a cause for concern.

In conclusion, while Hind Rectifiers has shown strong financial performance and technical indicators, there are some concerns regarding its debt and valuation. Investors may want to hold off on buying or selling the stock until further developments.
