Sugal & Damani Share Brokers Downgraded to 'Sell' by MarketsMOJO on Weak Fundamentals

Sugal & Damani Share Brokers, a microcap company in the finance/NBFC industry, has recently been downgraded to a 'Sell' by MarketsMOJO on October 25, 2024. This decision was based on weak long-term fundamental strength, with an average Return on Equity (ROE) of 6.96%, and poor long-term growth, with net sales growing at an annual rate of 27.07% and operating profit at 12.82%.
The stock is also considered to have an expensive valuation, with a price to book value of 1.7 and trading at a premium compared to its average historical valuations. Despite generating a return of 226.89% in the past year, the company's profits have only risen by 150.8%, resulting in a low PEG ratio of 0.1.

On a positive note, Sugal & Damani Share Brokers reported strong results in June 2024, with PBT LESS OI(Q) growing at 324.0%, PBDIT(Q) at its highest at Rs 1.66 crore, and PAT(Q) at its highest at Rs 1.44 crore. The stock is also currently in a mildly bullish range, with multiple factors such as MACD, KST, DOW, and OBV indicating a bullish trend.

The majority shareholders of the company are the promoters, and the stock has consistently outperformed BSE 500 in the last 3 annual periods. However, considering the recent downgrade and weak long-term fundamentals, investors may want to approach this stock with caution.
