PNB Gilts, a smallcap company in the finance/NBFC industry, has recently received an upgraded stock call of 'Hold' from MarketsMOJO on October 25, 2024. This upgrade is based on the company's healthy long-term growth, with an annual growth rate of 19.89% in net sales and 18.79% in operating profit. Additionally, the company declared very positive results in September 2024, with a growth in net profit of 114.6%. This marks the third consecutive quarter of positive results for PNB Gilts.
The company's operating cash flow for the year is at its highest at Rs -2,875.41 crore, while its net sales and PBDIT for the quarter are also at their highest at Rs 500.76 crore and Rs 488.27 crore, respectively. Technically, the stock is in a mildly bullish range, with both its MACD and KST technical factors showing a bullish trend.

With a return on equity of 14.6%, PNB Gilts has a very attractive valuation with a price to book value of 1.4. However, the stock is currently trading at a premium compared to its average historical valuations. Over the past year, the stock has generated a return of 34.33%, while its profits have risen by 596%. The PEG ratio of the company is 0, indicating a potentially undervalued stock.

Interestingly, despite its smallcap size, domestic mutual funds hold only 0% of the company. This could signify that they are either not comfortable with the current price or have not conducted in-depth research on the company. However, as domestic mutual funds have the capability to conduct thorough on-the-ground research, their small stake may also indicate future potential for PNB Gilts. Overall, with its positive financial performance and bullish technical indicators, PNB Gilts is a stock to watch in the finance/NBFC industry.
