Hester Biosciences Stock Price Analysis and Quick Research Report. Is Hester Biosciences an attractive stock to invest in?

Stock investing requires careful analysis of financial data to determine a company's true net worth. This is generally done by examining the company's profit and loss account, balance sheet and cash flow statement, which can be time-consuming and cumbersome.

Examining a company's financial ratios is an easier way to determine its performance, which can help to make sense of the overwhelming amount of information in its financial statements. 

Here are a few indispensable ratios that should be a part of every investor’s research process, or, in simpler words, how to analyse Hester Biosciences. 

  • PE ratio: Price to Earnings ratio, which indicates how much an investor is willing to pay for a share for every rupee of earnings. A general rule of thumb is that shares trading at a low P/E are undervalued (it depends on other factors too). Hester Biosciences has a PE ratio of 55.5853503826291 which is high and comparatively overvalued.

  • Return on Assets (ROA): Return on Assets measures how effectively a company can earn a return on its investment in assets. In other words, ROA shows how efficiently a company can convert the money used to purchase assets into net income or profits. Hester Biosciences has ROA of 5.813% which is a bad sign for future performance. (Higher values are always desirable.)

  • Current ratio: The current ratio measures a company's ability to pay its short-term liabilities with its short-term assets. A higher current ratio is desirable so that the company could be stable to unexpected bumps in business and economy. Hester Biosciences has a Current ratio of 1.9155.

  • Return on equity: ROE measures the ability of a firm to generate profits from its shareholders' investments in the company. In other words, the return on equity ratio shows how much profit each rupee of common stockholders’ equity generates. Hester Biosciences has a ROE of 9.7705%. (Higher is better)

  • Debt to equity ratio: It is a good metric to check out the capital structure along with its performance. Hester Biosciences has a Debt to Equity ratio of 0.3075 which means that the company has low proportion of debt in its capital.

  • Sales growth: Hester Biosciences has reported revenue growth of 0.4597% which is poor in relation to its growth and performance. 

  • Operating Margin: This will tell you about the operational efficiency of the company. The operating margin of Hester Biosciences for the current financial year is 17.7836113186207%.

  • Dividend Yield: It tells us how much dividend we will receive in relation to the price of the stock. The current year dividend for Hester Biosciences is Rs 7 and the yield is 0.3406%.

  • Earnings Per Share: It tells us how much profit is allocated to to each outstanding share of a common stock. The latest EPS of Hester Biosciences is Rs 36.7327. The higher the EPS, the better it is for investors.
