Ingersoll-Rand (India) Downgraded to 'Sell' by MarketsMOJO Due to Technical Factors and Expensive Valuation

Ingersoll-Rand (India) is a midcap company in the compressors/pumps industry. Recently, MarketsMOJO downgraded its stock to 'Sell' due to various technical factors. The stock has been in a mildly bearish range since November 8, 2024 and has generated a negative return of -1.2% since then. The company's RSI and Bollinger Band technical factors are also bearish.
One of the main reasons for the downgrade is the stock's expensive valuation, with a price to book value of 23.1 and a ROE of 39.7. However, the stock is currently trading at a fair value compared to its historical valuations. In the past year, the stock has generated a return of 43.98%, but its profits have only increased by 12.9%, resulting in a high PEG ratio of 4.5.

On a positive note, Ingersoll-Rand (India) has shown high management efficiency with a ROE of 25.63% and a low debt to equity ratio of 0 times. In addition, the company has reported positive results in June 2024, with the highest operating cash flow and return on capital employed. The company also has a track record of consistently increasing dividends, with the highest dividend per share of Rs 70.00.

Another factor to consider is the increasing participation of institutional investors in the company. These investors have better resources and capabilities to analyze the fundamentals of companies, and they have collectively increased their stake in Ingersoll-Rand (India) by 0.51% in the previous quarter.

Despite the recent downgrade, Ingersoll-Rand (India) has shown consistent returns over the last 3 years, outperforming the BSE 500 index in each of the last 3 annual periods. As a midcap company in the compressors/pumps industry, Ingersoll-Rand (India) has potential for growth, but investors should carefully consider the current technical factors and valuation before making any investment decisions.
