Mahaveer Infoway Receives 'Sell' Rating from MarketsMOJO, Underperforms Market with Weak Fundamentals

Mahaveer Infoway, a microcap IT software company, has recently received a 'Sell' rating from MarketsMOJO on January 15, 2024. This downgrade is based on the company's weak long-term fundamental strength, with a -27.58% CAGR growth in net sales over the last 5 years. Additionally, the company's ability to service its debt is poor, with a low EBIT to Interest (avg) ratio of 0.04. Furthermore, the company has only been able to generate a low Return on Equity (avg) of 1.09%, indicating low profitability per unit of shareholders' funds.
In the past year, Mahaveer Infoway has significantly underperformed the market, with negative returns of -4.91% compared to the market's 28.66% returns (BSE 500). This underperformance is a cause for concern for investors.

On a positive note, the company has shown promising results in September 2023, with its ROCE (HY) at 12.70%, INVENTORY TURNOVER RATIO (HY) at 8.49 times, and DEBTORS TURNOVER RATIO (HY) at 7.49 times.

However, the technical trend for the stock is currently sideways, indicating no clear price momentum. This trend has deteriorated from mildly bullish on January 12, 2024.

Despite its current performance, Mahaveer Infoway has a very attractive valuation with a ROCE of 11.5 and an enterprise value to capital employed ratio of 0.9. The stock is currently trading at a discount compared to its average historical valuations. However, it is important to note that while the stock has generated negative returns in the past year, its profits have also fallen by 50%.

It is worth mentioning that the majority of the company's shareholders are non-institutional investors. This could potentially lead to higher volatility in the stock's performance.

In conclusion, while Mahaveer Infoway has shown some positive results in the past, its weak long-term fundamentals and underperformance in the market make it a 'Sell' according to MarketsMOJO. Investors should carefully consider these factors before making any investment decisions.
