Shashijit Infraprojects Downgraded to 'Sell' by MarketsMOJO Due to Weak Financial Performance

Shashijit Infraprojects, a microcap real estate company, has recently been downgraded to a 'Sell' by MarketsMOJO. This decision was based on the company's weak long-term fundamental strength, with an average Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) of 3.74%. Additionally, the company has a high Debt to EBITDA ratio of 5.71 times, indicating a low ability to service debt. The company's recent financial results for the quarter ending in March 2024 also show a decline in performance. The net sales have fallen by -32.66%, with the lowest PBDIT (Profit Before Depreciation, Interest, and Taxes) at Rs 0.16 cr. The operating profit to net sales ratio is also at its lowest at 2.39%. This below-par performance has been consistent in both the long-term and near-term, with the stock generating -6.73% returns in the last year and underperforming the BSE 500 index in the last 3 years, 1 year, and 3 months. On a technical level, the stock is currently in a mildly bullish range, with the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) indicator showing a bullish trend since 02 Aug 2024. However, the company's ROCE of 5.4 indicates an attractive valuation with a 1.9 Enterprise value to Capital Employed. The stock is also trading at a discount compared to its average historical valuations. However, despite this, the company's profits have fallen by -12% in the past year, while the stock has generated a return of -6.73%. It is worth noting that the majority shareholders of Shashijit Infraprojects are the promoters themselves. This may raise concerns about potential conflicts of interest and the company's decision-making process. Overall, with the recent downgrade to 'Sell' and the company's weak financial performance, it may be wise for investors to approach Shashijit Infraprojects with caution.
