Review

“The company has posted growth in its top lines for the reported periods but marked static bottom line for the last two fiscals. A small post-IPO equity base indicates a longer gestation period for migration. Though the company is operating in a highly competitive and fragmented segment of packaging and sticker machines, considering current fancy for the segment, well-informed investors may park moderate funds for the long term,” said Dilip Davda, Contributing Editor at Chittorgarh.com.
