Fundamental & Technical Analysis of Exide Industries Limited

Exide Industries Limited belongs to the Consumer Cyclical › Auto Parts sector. Here’s a quick read on where the business and the stock stand today.

Exide posts a 5.4% three-month gain, but softens in the last few weeks. The PEG stands at 28.69 — severely stretched. Any earnings miss could trigger a sharp de-rating. Razor-thin margins below 5% make profitability extremely vulnerable — this business needs scale or pricing power urgently. The stock gives back 14.1% in the last month despite a positive three-month run. As a result, the earlier momentum appears to be fading. The stock rises 5.4% in three months on 6.1% revenue growth. As a result, the market gives it more credit than the fundamentals strictly justify. Watch the next quarterly results. If growth accelerates, the move makes sense. If not, expect some gains to unwind. Check Fundamentals of Exide Industries Limited.

Meanwhile, the stock dips 5.4% in three months without any fundamental deterioration. Consequently, the stock quietly becomes cheaper relative to earnings power.
