MarketsMOJO Downgrades Kesar Petroproducts to 'Sell' Due to Weak Fundamentals and Expensive Valuation

Kesar Petroproducts, a microcap trading company, has recently been downgraded to a 'Sell' by MarketsMOJO on October 4th, 2024. This decision was based on the company's weak long-term fundamental strength, with a -56.95% CAGR growth in operating profits over the last 5 years. Additionally, the company's ROCE of -1.7 indicates a very expensive valuation, with a 1.3 enterprise value to capital employed. Despite the stock trading at a discount compared to its average historical valuations, it has still generated a return of 142.59% in the past year. However, this growth in profits has been significantly higher at 683%, resulting in a PEG ratio of 0. This suggests that the stock may be overvalued and not a good investment option. In terms of other factors, Kesar Petroproducts has declared very positive results in June 2024, with a growth in net sales of 23.05%. The company has also consistently declared positive results for the last 3 quarters, with a higher PAT (HY) at Rs 5.17 crore and a net sales (Q) growth of 23.1% at Rs 45.80 crore. Additionally, the PBDIT (Q) is at its highest at Rs 3.13 crore. Technically, the stock is currently in a mildly bullish range, with multiple factors such as MACD, Bollinger Band, and KST indicating a bullish trend. However, it is important to note that the majority shareholders of Kesar Petroproducts are promoters, which may have influenced the stock's performance. Overall, Kesar Petroproducts has shown market-beating performance with a return of 142.59% in the last year, outperforming the BSE 500 index's returns of 36.68%. However, considering the company's weak long-term fundamentals and expensive valuation, MarketsMOJO has downgraded the stock to a 'Sell'. Investors should carefully consider these factors before making any investment decisions.
