Bhagwati Autocast Receives Upgraded Stock Call from MarketsMOJO, Showing Strong Financial Position and Growth Potential

Bhagwati Autocast, a microcap company in the castings/forgings industry, has recently received an upgraded stock call from MarketsMOJO. The stock has been upgraded to 'Hold' on March 19, 2024.
The decision to upgrade the stock is based on several factors. Firstly, the company has a strong ability to service its debt with a low Debt to EBITDA ratio of 1.45 times. This indicates a healthy financial position and reduces the risk for investors.

Additionally, Bhagwati Autocast has shown a healthy long-term growth rate with its operating profit growing at an annual rate of 40.35%. This is a positive sign for the company's future prospects.

From a technical standpoint, the stock is currently in a Mildly Bullish range and the trend has improved from Sideways on March 19, 2024. The RSI and KST technical factors are also Bullish, further supporting the upgraded stock call.

Moreover, the company has an attractive valuation with a ROCE of 28.3 and a 2.9 Enterprise value to Capital Employed. This indicates that the stock is trading at a discount compared to its average historical valuations.

However, it is important to note that the company's profits have fallen by -11.2% in the past year, despite generating a return of 52.54%. This could be a cause for concern for potential investors.

The majority shareholders of Bhagwati Autocast are the promoters, which can be seen as a positive sign as they have a vested interest in the company's success.

In terms of market performance, Bhagwati Autocast has outperformed the market (BSE 500) with a return of 52.54% in the last year, compared to the market's return of 35.21%.

However, the company did report negative results in December 2023, with a -47.91% growth in PAT (9M) and the lowest NET SALES(Q) and PBDIT(Q) at Rs 24.40 cr and Rs 0.28 cr respectively.

Overall, while Bhagwati Autocast has shown promising growth and financial stability, the recent negative results may be a cause for concern. Investors are advised to carefully consider all factors before making any investment decisions.
