OTCO International Downgraded to 'Sell' by MarketsMOJO, Technical Indicators Show Bullish Trend

OTCO International, a microcap IT software company, has recently been downgraded to a 'Sell' by MarketsMOJO on November 12, 2024. This decision was based on the company's weak long-term fundamental strength, with a 11.71% CAGR growth in operating profits over the last 5 years. Additionally, OTCO's ability to service its debt is also a concern, with a poor EBIT to Interest (avg) ratio of 0.45. In terms of recent performance, OTCO reported flat results in September 2024, with a PBDIT(Q) of only Rs 0.01 crore. However, the stock is currently in a bullish range and has shown improvement in its technical trend since November 8, 2024, generating a return of 13.1% since then. Multiple technical factors, such as MACD, Bollinger Band, and KST, also indicate a bullish outlook for the stock. Despite its fair valuation with a ROCE of 1 and an enterprise value to capital employed ratio of 2.1, OTCO is currently trading at a discount compared to its average historical valuations. However, it is important to note that while the stock has generated a return of 45.07% in the past year, its profits have fallen by -14%. The majority shareholders of OTCO are its promoters, indicating their confidence in the company's future prospects. In fact, the stock has outperformed the market (BSE 500) with a return of 45.07% in the last year, compared to the market's return of 27.99%. While the recent downgrade may raise concerns for investors, it is important to consider all factors before making any investment decisions.
