"The company is engaged in the business of various types of industrial/automotive heat exchangers manufacturing and marketing. While it marked inconsistency in its top lines for the reported periods, quantum jump in bottom lines from FY24 onwards raises eyebrows and remains concern. Based on FY25 annualized super earnings, the issue appears fully priced. It is operating in a highly competitive and fragmented segment. Well-informed investors may park moderate funds for the long term," Dilip Davda of Chittorgarh.com said.
