Nahar Capital & Financial Services Upgraded to 'Hold' by MarketsMOJO, But Long-Term Fundamentals Remain Weak

Nahar Capital & Financial Services, a microcap finance company, has recently been upgraded to a 'Hold' by MarketsMOJO. This decision was based on the company's positive results in the quarter ending June 2024. The company's net sales have grown by 31.9%, with the highest PBT and PAT recorded at Rs 8.72 crore and Rs 11.68 crore respectively.
Technically, the stock is currently in a bullish range and the technical trend has improved from mildly bullish on 19-Aug-24. Multiple factors such as MACD, Bollinger Band, KST, and OBV are also indicating a bullish trend for the stock.

However, the company's long-term fundamental strength is weak with an average ROE of 6.99%. Its current ROE of 1.3 also indicates a very expensive valuation with a price to book value of 0.6. This is significantly higher than its average historical valuations.

In the past year, while the stock has generated a return of 11.36%, its profits have fallen by -50.3%. This could be a cause for concern for investors.

Another factor to consider is that despite its size, domestic mutual funds hold only 0.03% of the company. This could indicate that they are not comfortable with the current price or the business of the company.

In the last year, Nahar Capital & Financial Services has underperformed the market, generating a return of 11.36% compared to the market's (BSE 500) return of 37.46%. This could be a red flag for potential investors.

Overall, while the recent upgrade to 'Hold' by MarketsMOJO is a positive sign, investors should carefully consider the company's weak long-term fundamentals and underperformance in the market before making any investment decisions.
