Shyamkamal Investments Ltd Upgraded to Sell on Improved Technicals and Valuation

Technical Trends Shift to Mildly Bearish

The primary driver behind the upgrade is a notable change in the technical outlook. Previously classified as bearish, the technical grade has improved to mildly bearish, indicating a less pessimistic market sentiment. Weekly MACD readings have turned mildly bullish, while monthly MACD remains mildly bearish, suggesting a potential inflection point in momentum. Bollinger Bands on both weekly and monthly charts show bullish signals, reinforcing the possibility of upward price movement.

However, some indicators remain subdued. The daily moving averages are mildly bearish, and the KST (Know Sure Thing) oscillator continues to show bearish tendencies on a weekly basis, with only mild bearishness monthly. The Dow Theory readings, meanwhile, have improved to mildly bullish on both weekly and monthly timeframes, hinting at a possible trend reversal in the medium term. Relative Strength Index (RSI) on weekly and monthly charts currently show no clear signal, reflecting a neutral momentum stance.

Overall, the technical picture is one of cautious improvement, moving away from outright bearishness but not yet signalling a strong bullish trend. This tempered optimism has contributed significantly to the upgrade in the company’s investment rating.

Valuation Upgraded to Very Attractive

Alongside technical improvements, Shyamkamal Investments Ltd’s valuation grade has been upgraded from attractive to very attractive. The company currently trades at a price-to-earnings (PE) ratio of 10.60, significantly lower than many peers in the NBFC sector, such as Mufin Green (PE 110.31) and Ashika Credit (PE 170.14). Its price-to-book (P/B) ratio stands at a modest 2.52, indicating reasonable market pricing relative to net asset value.

Enterprise value to EBITDA and EBIT ratios both hover around 11.82, reflecting moderate operational valuation. The PEG ratio is exceptionally low at 0.04, signalling that the stock is undervalued relative to its earnings growth potential. Dividend yield is modest at 0.72%, while return on capital employed (ROCE) is 7.52%, and return on equity (ROE) is a robust 23.79% for the latest period.

These valuation metrics position Shyamkamal Investments Ltd as a compelling value proposition within the NBFC space, especially when compared to other companies with much higher multiples or loss-making status. This very attractive valuation has been a key factor in the recent upgrade.

Financial Trend Remains Flat but with Long-Term Strength

Despite the positive technical and valuation shifts, the company’s recent financial performance remains flat. The third quarter of fiscal year 2025-26 saw no significant growth, with profits remaining steady but not expanding. This flat trend tempers enthusiasm and explains why the rating remains at Sell rather than a more bullish Buy or Strong Buy.

Long-term fundamentals show mixed signals. The company’s average ROE over time is weak at 2.42%, which is a concern for sustained profitability. However, the latest ROE figure of 23.79% indicates a recent improvement in capital efficiency. The company’s stock has delivered impressive returns over various time horizons, including 79.59% over the past year and 212.36% over three years, far outpacing the Sensex returns of 9.85% and 37.89% respectively over the same periods.

On the downside, the five- and ten-year returns are negative (-29.44% and -12.03%), lagging the Sensex’s strong long-term gains, which suggests volatility and inconsistency in performance. The PEG ratio of zero also points to a disconnect between price appreciation and earnings growth, warranting caution.

Quality Assessment and Shareholding Pattern

Quality metrics remain a weak point for Shyamkamal Investments Ltd. The company’s overall Mojo Score is 31.0, with a Mojo Grade of Sell, upgraded from Strong Sell. This score reflects a combination of factors including financial health, earnings quality, and governance. The majority of shareholders are non-institutional, which may imply limited institutional confidence or liquidity constraints.

While the company has demonstrated market-beating performance in the near term, its fundamental quality remains under scrutiny. Investors should weigh the improved technical and valuation outlook against the flat financial trend and modest quality scores.

Stock Price and Market Performance

Shyamkamal Investments Ltd’s stock price closed unchanged at ₹13.90 on 13 February 2026, with intraday highs reaching ₹15.18 and lows of ₹13.75. The 52-week price range spans from ₹6.73 to ₹15.30, indicating significant volatility over the past year. Despite this, the stock has delivered exceptional returns relative to the broader market benchmarks.

In the last week, the stock surged 27.87%, vastly outperforming the Sensex’s 0.43% gain. Over the last month, it rose 24.78% while the Sensex declined marginally by 0.24%. Year-to-date returns stand at 15.26% compared to a Sensex loss of 1.81%. The one-year return of 79.59% dwarfs the Sensex’s 9.85% gain, underscoring the stock’s strong momentum in recent periods.

However, longer-term returns over five and ten years remain negative, highlighting the cyclical nature of the company’s performance and the importance of monitoring ongoing fundamentals and market conditions.

Conclusion: A Cautious Upgrade Reflecting Mixed Signals

The upgrade of Shyamkamal Investments Ltd’s investment rating from Strong Sell to Sell reflects a cautious but positive shift in the company’s outlook. Improved technical indicators, particularly the move from bearish to mildly bearish trends and bullish signals in Bollinger Bands and Dow Theory, have contributed to a more favourable market sentiment.

Valuation metrics have also become more attractive, with a very low PEG ratio and reasonable price multiples compared to peers. These factors suggest the stock may be undervalued relative to its earnings potential and recent market performance.

Nevertheless, flat financial results in the latest quarter and weak long-term fundamental quality temper enthusiasm. The company’s average ROE remains low, and the stock’s longer-term returns have been disappointing compared to the broader market. Investors should remain cautious and consider these mixed signals when evaluating Shyamkamal Investments Ltd as part of their portfolio.

Overall, the upgrade to Sell signals a modest improvement but stops short of recommending accumulation, reflecting the need for continued monitoring of financial trends and quality metrics alongside technical and valuation developments.
