Railtel Corporation of India Receives 'Sell' Rating Due to Poor Long-Term Growth

Railtel Corporation of India, a midcap telecommunication equipment company, has recently received a 'Sell' rating from MarketsMOJO. This downgrade is based on the company's poor long-term growth, with an annual operating profit growth rate of only 5.16% over the last 5 years.
The stock is currently in a Mildly Bearish range, with a technical trend that has deteriorated from Mildly Bullish on 18-Nov-24. Since then, it has generated -1.65% returns. Multiple factors, such as MACD, Bollinger Band, and KST, are also indicating a bearish outlook for the stock.

In terms of valuation, Railtel Corporation of India has a high ROE of 12.5 and a price to book value of 6.9, making it a very expensive stock. However, it is currently trading at a discount compared to its average historical valuations. In the past year, the stock has generated a return of 35.09%, while its profits have only risen by 36.3%. This gives the company a PEG ratio of 1.5, which is considered high.

On a positive note, the company has a low debt to equity ratio and has declared positive results for the last 5 consecutive quarters. Its operating cash flow has also been consistently high, with the highest at Rs 556.34 Cr. Additionally, Railtel Corporation of India has consistently outperformed the BSE 500 index in the last 3 annual periods.

The majority shareholders of the company are the promoters, which can be seen as a positive sign.
