NIIT Learning Systems downgraded to 'Hold' by MarketsMOJO due to technical trend and recent performance.

NIIT Learning Systems, a midcap IT education company, has recently been downgraded to a 'Hold' by MarketsMOJO. This decision was based on the company's current performance and future potential. With a strong long-term fundamental strength, NIIT Learning Systems has an average Return on Equity (ROE) of 22.20%. Additionally, the company has a low Debt to Equity ratio, indicating a stable financial position. However, the technical trend for the stock is currently sideways, with no clear price momentum. This trend has deteriorated from mildly bullish on 04-Nov-24 and has generated a negative return of -1.78% since then. Despite this, the company has a very attractive valuation with a Price to Book Value of 5.4, which is lower than the industry average. In the past year, NIIT Learning Systems has generated a return of 11.82%, while its profits have only risen by 4%. This could be a cause for concern for investors. However, the company has a high institutional holding of 36.4%, indicating that these investors have better capabilities and resources to analyze the company's fundamentals. In the latest quarter, the company's results were flat, with PBDIT(Q) at its lowest at Rs 87.52 crore and operating profit to net sales (Q) at its lowest at 22.02%. This could be a reason for the downgrade by MarketsMOJO. Additionally, NIIT Learning Systems has underperformed the market in the last year, with a return of 11.82% compared to the market's return of 31.79%. Overall, while NIIT Learning Systems has strong fundamentals and a low debt to equity ratio, its technical trend and recent performance may be a cause for concern. Investors may want to hold off on buying or selling the stock until there is a clearer price momentum and improvement in its financial performance.
