Jubilant Industries Receives 'Hold' Rating from MarketsMOJO After Positive Results in June 2024

Jubilant Industries, a smallcap company in the pesticides and agrochemical industry, has recently received a 'Hold' rating from MarketsMOJO. This upgrade comes after the company reported positive results in June 2024, with its operating profit to interest ratio reaching a high of 10.31 times and its debt-equity ratio at a low of 0.69 times. Additionally, the company's net sales for the quarter were the highest at Rs 358.14 crore.
Technically, the stock is currently in a bullish range and has shown improvement from a mildly bullish trend on 20-Aug-24. Multiple factors such as MACD, Bollinger Band, KST, and OBV are all indicating a bullish trend for the stock.

In terms of performance, Jubilant Industries has outperformed the BSE 500 index in the long term as well as the near term. In the last 1 year, the stock has generated a return of 154.71%, showcasing its market-beating performance.

However, the company does have a high debt-to-equity ratio of 4.36 times, indicating weak long-term fundamental strength. Its return on capital employed (avg) is also low at 9.75%, suggesting low profitability per unit of total capital. The stock is currently trading at an expensive valuation with an enterprise value to capital employed ratio of 7.

Despite its size, domestic mutual funds hold only 0% of the company, which could signify their discomfort with the stock's price or the business itself. This is a cause for concern for potential investors.

In conclusion, while Jubilant Industries has shown positive results and a bullish trend, its high debt and weak fundamental strength may be a deterrent for some investors. It is important to carefully consider all factors before making any investment decisions.
