This smallcap trading company has shown impressive growth in its net sales, with an annual rate of 496.53%, and operating profit at 2,108.00%. In fact, the company has declared positive results for the last 7 consecutive quarters, with a net profit growth of 131.83% in September 2024.
The stock is also showing a bullish trend, with technical indicators such as MACD, Bollinger Band, and OBV all pointing towards a positive outlook. In the last year, EFC (I) has outperformed the market (BSE 500) with a return of 143.57%, compared to the market's 31.79%.

However, there are some risks to consider when investing in EFC (I). The company's ability to service its debt is weak, with a poor EBIT to Interest (avg) ratio of 0.68. Additionally, the company's return on equity is low at 2.99%, indicating low profitability per unit of shareholders' funds. The stock is also trading at a premium compared to its historical valuations, with a PEG ratio of 0.2.

Furthermore, despite its impressive growth and potential, domestic mutual funds hold only 0% of the company, which could suggest that they are not comfortable with the current price or the business itself. However, with a return on capital employed of 15.3%, EFC (I) is still considered to have a very expensive valuation.

In conclusion, EFC (I) has shown strong growth and market-beating performance, making it a 'Buy' according to MarketsMOJO. However, investors should also consider the risks involved, such as the company's debt and valuation, before making any investment decisions.
