Company has witnessed major setback in FY16 (so it could happen anytime - if the management hasn''t learned their lesson).
Pros: Awesome ROE (is ~60%) and ROCE (is 33.28%) Fair DE ratio Fair PE (in comparison with its peers). Cons: Inconsistent cash-flow Inconsistent sales and net Raw material cost is eating into more than 80% of sales Nearly 26.02 crore is audited as Miscellaneous expense (and no further information is available - which is a very huge money) 2 bonus issues and allotments in past 2 months
The performance of the company is inconsistent and the corporate governance is much bigger question to be asked. Issue is attractively priced based on FY17 earnings and ROE and ROCE is also awesome (for FY17). But, if we aggregate last 3-4 fiscals, the issue is expensive and ROE and ROCE are negative (by more than 50% - which is dangerous). Because of excellent FY17 numbers, in short-term this stock could perform well - but my long-term view on this SME is negative. So, I recommend an AVOID (or apply-with-caution).
