Robust Financial Growth Underpinning the Stock’s Rise
The company’s financial metrics reveal a strong growth story. Net sales have expanded at an annual rate of 200.71%, while operating profit has increased by 103.44%, reflecting efficient scaling of operations. Net profit growth stands at an impressive 170.21%, with the company declaring outstanding results in the quarter ending September 2025.
SMT Engineering has reported positive results for three consecutive quarters, with quarterly PBDIT reaching a high of Rs.9.63 crores and PBT less other income peaking at Rs.8.53 crores. The company’s debtors turnover ratio for the half-year period is at a high of 2.77 times, indicating effective management of receivables.
Shareholding and Market Capitalisation Insights
The majority shareholding remains with the promoters, providing stability and continuity in governance. The company holds a Market Cap Grade of 4, reflecting its standing within the Trading & Distributors sector. SMT Engineering’s Mojo Score is 75.0, with a current Mojo Grade of Buy, revised from a previous Strong Buy on 8 Dec 2025, indicating a slight moderation in rating while maintaining a positive outlook.
Comparative Performance Against Sensex and Sector
SMT Engineering’s weekly performance shows a gain of 10.35%, compared to the Sensex’s decline of 1.83%. Over one month, the stock surged 48.18%, while the Sensex fell 2.18%. The three-month return of 226.24% far exceeds the Sensex’s modest 1.68% gain. These figures illustrate the stock’s consistent outperformance relative to the broader market and its sector peers.
Valuation and Profitability Considerations
Despite the strong price appreciation, the company’s valuation metrics suggest a very expensive position, with an Enterprise Value to Capital Employed ratio of 3.4. The PEG ratio stands at 0.2, reflecting the relationship between price gains and profit growth, which has risen by 372.4% over the past year.
Profitability ratios indicate some constraints. The average Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) is 2.40%, signalling modest profitability per unit of total capital. Return on Equity (ROE) averages 7.25%, indicating limited returns on shareholders’ funds. Additionally, the company’s ability to service debt is challenged, with an average EBIT to Interest ratio of 1.39.
