Kinetic Engineering Downgraded to 'Sell' by MarketsMOJO

Kinetic Engineering, a microcap company in the auto ancillary industry, has recently been downgraded to a 'Sell' by MarketsMOJO on December 27, 2023. This decision was based on several factors, including the company's high debt and weak long-term fundamental strength. Over the past 5 years, the company's net sales have only grown at an annual rate of 5.45%, and it has a high debt to equity ratio of 4.49 times.
Furthermore, Kinetic Engineering has a low return on equity of 4.52%, indicating low profitability per unit of shareholders' funds. Its ROCE of 4.8 also suggests an expensive valuation with an enterprise value to capital employed ratio of 3.2. However, the stock is currently trading at a discount compared to its historical valuations.

In the past year, the stock has generated a return of 37.18%, while its profits have increased by 360%. This has resulted in a low PEG ratio of 0.1, indicating that the stock may be undervalued. Additionally, the company has declared positive results for the last 5 consecutive quarters, with its operating cash flow and profit after tax showing improvement.

From a technical standpoint, the stock is currently in a mildly bullish range, with indicators such as MACD, Bollinger Band, and OBV all pointing towards a bullish trend. The majority shareholders of Kinetic Engineering are the promoters, and the company has consistently outperformed the BSE 500 index over the last 3 years.

Overall, while MarketsMOJO has downgraded the stock to 'Sell', there are still some positive factors to consider. Investors should carefully evaluate the company's financials and market trends before making any investment decisions.
