Sanjivani Paranteral Downgraded to 'Hold' by MarketsMOJO Due to Recent Performance and Valuation

Sanjivani Paranteral, a microcap pharmaceutical company, has recently been downgraded to a 'Hold' by MarketsMOJO on September 11, 2024. This decision was based on the company's current performance and future potential.
Despite a healthy long-term growth rate of 34.09% in operating profit, the stock has been downgraded due to its recent performance. The company has declared positive results for the last four consecutive quarters, with its highest net sales at Rs 16.44 crore and PBDIT at Rs 2.34 crore. However, its PBT LESS OI was at its highest at Rs 2.18 crore.

Technically, the stock is in a bullish range and has shown significant improvement since June 20, 2024, generating 82.52% returns. Multiple factors such as MACD, Bollinger Band, KST, DOW, and OBV have contributed to this bullish trend.

The majority shareholders of Sanjivani Paranteral are non-institutional investors. The company has consistently generated returns over the last three years and has outperformed BSE 500 in each of the last three annual periods.

However, with a ROE of 24.5, the stock is currently trading at a very expensive valuation with a price to book value of 14.9. It is also trading at a premium compared to its average historical valuations. While the stock has generated a return of 233.50% in the past year, its profits have only risen by 48.2%, resulting in a PEG ratio of 2.1.

In conclusion, while Sanjivani Paranteral has shown strong growth potential, its current performance and valuation suggest a 'Hold' recommendation from MarketsMOJO. Investors should carefully consider these factors before making any investment decisions.
