    1. Thanks for visiting my blog.

      The Company looks good.

      There are certain good points, like –
      1) P/E Ratio is in the comfort zone
      2) Debt to Equity ratio is NEEL
      3) ROE is good
      4) Company is paying regular Dividend
      5) Promoter holding

      Some concern areas are –
      1) Growth is missing as far as Income is concern
      2) Constant growth is missing as far as Net Profit and EPS is concern
      3) P/BV ratio is marginally high

      The company is in the right space (Broking, Finance & Investment) looking at the current market scenario. All the other broking firms have had a huge run-up in the recent past including this one. But for me the top line and bottom-line growth are important, so I’ll wait for that to happen before taking any position.
