Veto Switchgears & Cables: A Mixed Performance

Veto Switchgears & Cables, a microcap company in the cable industry, has recently been upgraded to a 'Hold' by MarketsMOJO. This upgrade is based on the company's strong ability to service debt, with a low Debt to EBITDA ratio of 0.90 times.
Technically, the stock is in a Mildly Bullish range and has multiple bullish factors such as MACD, KST, and OBV. Additionally, with a ROE of 7.2, the stock is currently trading at a discount compared to its average historical valuations, making it a very attractive valuation with a 0.9 Price to Book Value.

However, the stock has not performed well in the past year, generating a return of -4.19%, while its profits have fallen by -33.6%. This poor performance is also reflected in the company's long-term growth, with operating profit growing at an annual rate of -5.20% over the last 5 years.

Furthermore, Veto Switchgears & Cables has declared negative results for the last 4 consecutive quarters, with ROCE(HY) at its lowest at 11.12% and PBT LESS OI(Q) at Rs 7.74 crore, falling at -16.59%. The company's PAT(Q) at Rs 5.98 crore has also fallen at -14.1%.

In addition, there has been a decrease in promoter confidence, with promoters reducing their stake in the company by -2.93% over the previous quarter. Currently, they hold 47.15% of the company, which may signify reduced confidence in the future of the business.

Overall, Veto Switchgears & Cables has had a below par performance in both the long term and near term, underperforming BSE 500 in the last 3 years, 1 year, and 3 months. Investors should carefully consider these factors before making any investment decisions.
