Keynote Financial Services Receives 'Hold' Stock Upgrade Based on Strong Financial Performance

Keynote Financial Services, a microcap finance company, has recently received an upgraded stock call from MarketsMOJO. The company's stock has been upgraded to 'Hold' on 17th September 2024. This upgrade is based on the company's positive financial results for the last five consecutive quarters. In the half-yearly results, Keynote Financial Services has shown significant growth in its profits and net sales. The company's profits have grown by 234.97% to Rs 12.26 crore, while its net sales have increased by 56.72% to Rs 25.78 crore. This positive trend in financial performance has contributed to the company's upgraded stock call. Technically, the stock is currently in a bullish range and has shown improvement in its trend from mildly bullish on 17th September 2024. Multiple factors such as MACD, Bollinger Band, KST, and OBV are also indicating a bullish trend for the stock. With a return on equity (ROE) of 21.5%, Keynote Financial Services is currently fairly valued with a price to book value of 1.5. However, the stock is trading at a premium compared to its average historical valuations. In the past year, the stock has generated a return of 129.95%, while its profits have risen by 213.1%. The PEG ratio of the company is 0, indicating a good investment opportunity. The majority shareholders of Keynote Financial Services are its promoters, which is a positive sign for investors. The company has also shown market-beating performance in the long term, outperforming BSE 500 in the last 3 years, 1 year, and 3 months. However, the company's long-term fundamental strength is weak, with an average ROE of 5.81% and poor growth in operating profit. The operating profit has grown at an annual rate of -1.02%, which may be a cause for concern for investors. Overall, with its positive financial results and bullish technical trend, Keynote Financial Services' stock has been upgraded to 'Hold' by MarketsMOJO. While the company's long-term fundamental strength may be weak, its market-beating performance and potential for growth make it an interesting stock to watch in the finance/NBFC industry.
