Premier Polyfilm downgraded to 'Hold' by MarketsMOJO despite strong financials and potential for future growth

Premier Polyfilm, a microcap company in the plastic products industry, has recently been downgraded to a 'Hold' by MarketsMOJO on April 15, 2024. This decision was based on the company's strong ability to service debt, with a low Debt to EBITDA ratio of 0.63 times.
Despite this, Premier Polyfilm has declared positive results for the last 6 consecutive quarters, with a ROCE (HY) of 30.22% and a PAT (9M) of Rs 13.90 Cr. The company also has a high amount of cash and cash equivalents, with Rs 9.29 cr in the last half year.

Technically, the stock is in a mildly bullish range, with both the MACD and KST technical factors showing a bullish trend. With a ROE of 22.1, the stock is also considered to have an attractive valuation, with a price to book value of 4.7. Additionally, the stock is currently trading at a fair value compared to its average historical valuations.

In the past year, Premier Polyfilm has generated a return of 124.26%, outperforming the BSE 500. However, its long term growth has been poor, with net sales and operating profit growing at an annual rate of 12.17% and 12.64% respectively over the last 5 years.

The majority shareholders of Premier Polyfilm are the promoters, and the company has a track record of market-beating performance in both the long term and near term. With a PEG ratio of 0.2, the company's profits have risen by 113.5% in the past year, indicating a potential for future growth.

Overall, while Premier Polyfilm may have some strengths, such as its ability to service debt and positive financial results, it also has areas for improvement, such as its long term growth. Investors may want to hold onto their stocks for now and monitor the company's performance in the future.
