Additionally, the operating profit to net sales ratio has also reached its highest at 11.21%.

Multiple factors such as MACD, Bollinger Band, and KST are also indicating a bullish trend for the stock. Attractive valuation is another positive aspect for Somi Conveyor Beltings, with a price to book value of 2.7 and a discount compared to its average historical valuations.

Additionally, the company's ability to service its debt is also weak with a poor EBIT to interest ratio of 1.84. Overall, Somi Conveyor Beltings shows potential for growth in the short term, but its long-term fundamentals need improvement. Investors are advised to hold their positions for now and keep an eye on the company's performance in the future.
