Oracle Financial Services Software downgraded to 'Hold' by MarketsMOJO on October 1, 2024

Oracle Financial Services Software, a leading IT software company in the largecap industry, has recently been downgraded to a 'Hold' by MarketsMOJO on October 1, 2024. This decision was based on various factors, including the company's high management efficiency with a ROE of 25.38% and a low Debt to Equity ratio of 0 times.
In terms of financial performance, the company has shown positive results in the quarter ending June 2024. Its PAT (HY) has grown by 20.04%, while its operating profit to net sales (Q) is at a high of 48.64%. Additionally, PBT less OI (Q) has also seen a growth of 23.1%.

Technically, the stock is currently in a mildly bullish range and has shown multiple bullish indicators such as MACD, Bollinger Band, and KST. The majority shareholders of the company are the promoters, indicating their confidence in the company's future prospects.

In terms of market performance, Oracle Financial Services Software has outperformed the BSE 500 index in the last 3 years, 1 year, and 3 months, generating a return of 177.84% in the last 1 year alone.

However, the company's long-term growth has been poor, with net sales and operating profit growing at an annual rate of 6.35% and 6.44%, respectively, over the last 5 years. This, coupled with a high ROE of 28.2, has led to a very expensive valuation for the stock, with a price to book value of 12.6. The stock is currently trading at a premium compared to its historical valuations.

While the stock has generated a significant return of 177.84% in the last year, its profits have only risen by 28.6%, resulting in a PEG ratio of 1.5. This indicates that the stock may be overvalued and investors should exercise caution before making any investment decisions.
