Indo Borax & Chemicals Downgraded to 'Sell' by MarketsMOJO Due to Negative Financial Results

Indo Borax & Chemicals, a microcap company in the chemicals industry, has recently been downgraded to a 'Sell' by MarketsMOJO on April 1, 2024. This decision was based on the company's negative financial results for the past three quarters, with the lowest ROCE (HY) at 23.21%, PBDIT (Q) at Rs 9.18 crore, and PBT LESS OI (Q) at Rs 8.61 crore.
One of the reasons for this downgrade is the fact that despite its size, domestic mutual funds hold a mere 0% stake in the company. This could indicate that they are not comfortable with the company's current price or its business operations. Additionally, the company has a low Debt to Equity ratio (avg) at 0 times, which is a positive factor.

However, there are some other factors that could potentially benefit the company in the long run. For instance, its operating profit has shown a healthy annual growth rate of 34.10%. Technically, the stock is in a Mildly Bullish range, with multiple indicators such as MACD, Bollinger Band, and KST pointing towards a bullish trend.

On the valuation front, the company has a fair valuation with a Price to Book Value of 2. Its ROE of 16.8 is also a positive sign. However, the stock is currently trading at a premium compared to its average historical valuations. Moreover, while the stock has generated a return of 62.74% in the past year, its profits have declined by -15.3%.

Despite the recent downgrade, Indo Borax & Chemicals has shown a market-beating performance with a return of 62.74% in the last year, outperforming the market (BSE 500) returns of 39.87%. Investors should carefully consider these factors before making any investment decisions regarding this microcap company in the chemicals industry.
