Mittal Life Style Limited Logo

•    The company is engaged in the business of trading in denim fabrics.
•    It is totally depending on the third party contracts for its buying and selling.
•    The company posted average financial performance, but sudden boost in bottom lines for FY24 raises eyebrows.
•    The RI appears relatively fully priced mirroring its market price trends.
•    There is no harm in skipping this "High Risk/Low Return" bet.
