Despite a decline in net sales and operating profit, United Drilling Tools has shown a healthy long-term growth rate. Its PBT LESS OI(Q) has grown by 91.9%, while its NET SALES(Q) and PBDIT(Q) have reached their highest levels at Rs 42.76 cr and Rs 6.33 cr respectively.

The majority shareholders of United Drilling Tools are its promoters, further instilling confidence in the company's performance. However, with a ROCE of 4.2, the stock is currently trading at an expensive valuation with a 1.8 Enterprise value to Capital Employed. It is currently trading at a discount compared to its average historical valuations.

In the past year, the stock has underperformed the market, generating a return of only 3.84% compared to the market's (BSE 500) returns of 34.26%. Despite this, the company's strong fundamentals and positive technical indicators make it a 'Hold' for now. Investors should keep an eye on its future performance to make informed decisions.
