Is Tanla Solutions Share a Good Investment Bet?

Tanla Solutions Company Logo

Tanla Solutions looks like a decent IT Enabled Services company. But like Warren Buffett I too do not understand technology companies too well. Please look at the market snapshot of Tanla share:

Market snapshot of Tanla Solutions Share

The price to earnings ratio of 43.3 is very high and the share looks very expensive to buy. Price to Book Value Ratio of 0.89 looks attractive. Dividend Yield of 0.35 is negligible and unacceptable. Market capitalisation of Rs.577.93 crores is too small.

The five year price graph shows price continuously climbing and does not bestow any special market advantage for buying.

Five years return on the share of 852.50% shows steep appreciation, again not providing any special buying advantage.

The company started making profits only for the last two years and for at lest three years preceding them the company incurred losses.

I have not investigated the company/ share thoroughly as with this background I am not convinced about investing in the Tanla scrip and I shall not recommend you invest too.

If you are keen in investing in an technology company why don’t you consider Larsen and Tubro Infotech instead? You may:
