Munjal Showa Downgraded to 'Sell' by MarketsMOJO

Munjal Showa, a microcap company in the auto ancillary industry, has recently been downgraded to a 'Sell' by MarketsMOJO. This decision was based on the company's poor long-term growth, with net sales and operating profit declining at an annual rate of -6.79% and -26.34% respectively over the last 5 years. In addition, the company has recently declared negative results for the September 2023 quarter, after 6 consecutive quarters of positive results. The profit after tax has fallen by -68.9% to Rs 2.81 crore, while the net sales and PBDIT have also reached their lowest levels at Rs 287.26 crore and Rs -1.75 crore respectively. Despite being a microcap company, Munjal Showa has a low debt to equity ratio and domestic mutual funds hold only 0.01% of the company. This could indicate that the mutual funds are either not comfortable with the company's current price or its business. On a positive note, the stock is technically in a mildly bullish range and has multiple bullish factors such as MACD, Bollinger Band, KST, and OBV. However, with a ROE of 4.9, the stock is fairly valued with a price to book value of 0.9. It is also trading at a premium compared to its historical valuations. Despite the recent downgrade, Munjal Showa has outperformed the market (BSE 500) with a return of 32.00% in the last year, while its profits have risen by 48.2%. However, the PEG ratio of the company is 0.4, indicating that its growth may not be sustainable in the long run. Investors should carefully consider these factors before making any decisions regarding Munjal Showa's stock.
