Bhagwati Autocast Receives 'Sell' Rating from MarketsMOJO, Despite Strong Financials.

Bhagwati Autocast, a microcap company in the castings and forgings industry, has recently received a 'Sell' rating from MarketsMOJO on August 6, 2024. This downgrade is based on technical factors, as the stock is currently in a Mildly Bearish range and the technical trend has deteriorated from Sideways on August 6, 2024. Additionally, the stock's MACD and KST technical factors are also Mildly Bearish.
In the past year, Bhagwati Autocast has underperformed the market, with a return of only 4.32%, compared to the market's (BSE 500) return of 32.32%. However, the company has a strong ability to service debt, with a low Debt to EBITDA ratio of 1.45 times. It also has a healthy long-term growth rate, with an annual growth rate of 11.68% in operating profit.

In terms of financials, Bhagwati Autocast has shown impressive numbers, with PBDIT(Q) at its highest at Rs 4.66 crore, OPERATING PROFIT TO NET SALES(Q) at its highest at 14.47%, and PBT LESS OI(Q) at its highest at Rs 3.78 crore. With a ROCE of 28.3, the company has an attractive valuation with a 3.3 Enterprise value to Capital Employed. Furthermore, the stock is currently trading at a discount compared to its average historical valuations.

However, despite these positive aspects, the company's profits have fallen by -10.2% in the past year, which could be a cause for concern. It is also worth noting that the majority shareholders of Bhagwati Autocast are the promoters themselves.

In conclusion, while Bhagwati Autocast may have some strong financials and an attractive valuation, the recent downgrade to 'Sell' by MarketsMOJO and the underperformance in the market may be a cause for caution for potential investors.
