Aptech Limited Stock Performance
The stock gave multi baggar returns (close to 10 times) between year 2002 and 2008 just before the global crisis.It touched the highest point at 400 INR.Due to global crisis it dipped down to 100 marks but recovered beautifully.
But till year 2016 it failed to cross 100 INR price point. In last couple of years it did tried to touch 400 mark but failed and dipped close to 100 mark again. The dividend yield of the stock is also good at more than 2%. This is encouraging for investors.
The stock seems to have 100 INR as support.It has traded and maintained this level for long. So if people are trying to enter the script they should near 100 INR price point.
Aptech Limited My Opinion
Aptech Limited is a education Company. It is more into business of IT education and trainings. This is greatly reflected by stock price performance in above long term chart. It has strong correlation with IT market. It performed well when IT market have performed well.
If IT market space is good then there will be need of trained work force. People will get trained in different courses and be job ready. Any adverse impact on this job market will lessen demand of these courses.
It is decreasing dependency on IT job market in recent times with initiatives like Preschool, Aviation trainings and focusing on other Industry courses. So far the performance of Company has been roller coaster due to market conditions.
Most of the education sector stocks have not performed well over the years. There are multiple reasons to it. First the education sector is highly unorganized. Second presence of state boards. This shrinks the market size of any Company. Still the traditional education path is mostly followed by Indian instead of professional courses. Once these trends end we can see more traction in this segment. As of now I have not invested in this sector.
In case you are interested then you can track the company by adding it to your stock watch list. That way you can keep close eye on the Company.
