Quest Capital Markets Adjusts Valuation Grade Amid Mixed Industry Performance Metrics

Quest Capital Markets has recently undergone a valuation adjustment, reflecting a shift in its financial standing within the capital markets industry. The company currently exhibits a price-to-earnings ratio of 19.98 and a price-to-book value of 0.30, indicating its market valuation relative to its book value. Additionally, the enterprise value to EBITDA stands at 14.65, while the dividend yield is recorded at 0.64%.
In terms of performance metrics, Quest Capital's return on capital employed (ROCE) is at 1.94%, and return on equity (ROE) is at 1.48%. When compared to its peers, Quest Capital's valuation metrics present a mixed picture. For instance, while some competitors like Dhunseri Investments and Fedders Holding maintain attractive valuations with lower price-to-earnings ratios, others such as Worth Investment and Adit Birla Money are positioned at significantly higher valuations.

The company's stock performance has shown variability, with a year-to-date return of -20.50%, contrasting with the Sensex's positive return of 5.36% over the same period. Over a longer horizon, however, Quest Capital has demonstrated substantial growth, particularly over the past five years, where it has outperformed the Sensex significantly.
