MarketsMOJO Downgrades Vidli Restaurants to 'Sell' Due to Weak Fundamentals and Expensive Valuation

Vidli Restaurants, a microcap company in the hotel industry, has recently received a 'Sell' rating from MarketsMOJO on February 5th, 2024. This downgrade is based on the company's weak long-term fundamental strength, with an average Return on Equity (ROE) of 7.12%. Additionally, Vidli Restaurants has a poor ability to service its debt, with a low EBIT to Interest (avg) ratio of 0.55.
The stock is also considered to be very expensive, with a price to book value of 6.4 and trading at a premium compared to its historical valuations. Despite generating a return of 85.45% in the past year, the company's profits have only risen by 154%, resulting in a PEG ratio of 0.

However, there are some positive factors to consider. Vidli Restaurants has declared positive results for the last 3 consecutive quarters, with the highest operating cash flow of Rs 0.20 Cr and a 40.06% growth in net sales (9M). The company's profits (9M) have also increased to Rs 1.47 Cr.

From a technical standpoint, the stock is currently in a mildly bullish range, with both the MACD and KST technical factors showing a bullish trend. Additionally, Vidli Restaurants has consistently outperformed the BSE 500 index in the last 3 annual periods, showcasing its ability to generate consistent returns.

In conclusion, while Vidli Restaurants may have some positive aspects, the overall weak fundamental strength and expensive valuation make it a 'Sell' according to MarketsMOJO. Investors should carefully consider these factors before making any investment decisions.
