Here's Why We Think Dynamatic Technologies (NSE:DYNAMATECH) Might Deserve Your Attention Today
It's common for many investors, especially those who are inexperienced, to buy shares in companies with a good story even if these companies are loss-making. But the reality is that when a company loses money each year, for long enough, its investors will usually take their share of those losses. Loss-making companies are always racing against time to reach financial sustainability, so investors in these companies may be taking on more risk than they should.
If this kind of company isn't your style, you like companies that generate revenue, and even earn profits, then you may well be interested in Dynamatic Technologies (NSE:DYNAMATECH). Now this is not to say that the company presents the best investment opportunity around, but profitability is a key component to success in business.

Dynamatic Technologies' Improving Profits
Dynamatic Technologies has undergone a massive growth in earnings per share over the last three years. So much so that this three year growth rate wouldn't be a fair assessment of the company's future. So it would be better to isolate the growth rate over the last year for our analysis. It's good to see that Dynamatic Technologies' EPS has grown from ₹117 to ₹135 over twelve months. That's a 15% gain; respectable growth in the broader scheme of things.
Careful consideration of revenue growth and earnings before interest and taxation (EBIT) margins can help inform a view on the sustainability of the recent profit growth. While we note Dynamatic Technologies achieved similar EBIT margins to last year, revenue grew by a solid 3.3% to ₹14b. That's a real positive.

While profitability drives the upside, prudent investors always check the balance sheet, too.
Are Dynamatic Technologies Insiders Aligned With All Shareholders?
It's pleasing to see company leaders with putting their money on the line, so to speak, because it increases alignment of incentives between the people running the business, and its true owners. Dynamatic Technologies followers will find comfort in knowing that insiders have a significant amount of capital that aligns their best interests with the wider shareholder group. With a whopping ₹5.2b worth of shares as a group, insiders have plenty riding on the company's success. That holding amounts to 10% of the stock on issue, thus making insiders influential owners of the business and aligned with the interests of shareholders.
It's good to see that insiders are invested in the company, but are remuneration levels reasonable? Our quick analysis into CEO remuneration would seem to indicate they are. Our analysis has discovered that the median total compensation for the CEOs of companies like Dynamatic Technologies with market caps between ₹34b and ₹134b is about ₹31m.
The Dynamatic Technologies CEO received total compensation of just ₹12m in the year to March 2024. That's clearly well below average, so at a glance that arrangement seems generous to shareholders and points to a modest remuneration culture. While the level of CEO compensation shouldn't be the biggest factor in how the company is viewed, modest remuneration is a positive, because it suggests that the board keeps shareholder interests in mind. It can also be a sign of good governance, more generally.
Does Dynamatic Technologies Deserve A Spot On Your Watchlist?
One important encouraging feature of Dynamatic Technologies is that it is growing profits. The fact that EPS is growing is a genuine positive for Dynamatic Technologies, but the pleasant picture gets better than that. Boasting both modest CEO pay and considerable insider ownership, you'd argue this one is worthy of the watchlist, at least. You still need to take note of risks, for example - Dynamatic Technologies has 2 warning signs (and 1 which is concerning) we think you should know about.
There's always the possibility of doing well buying stocks that are not growing earnings and do not have insiders buying shares. But for those who consider these important metrics, we encourage you to check out companies that do have those features. You can access a tailored list of Indian companies which have demonstrated growth backed by significant insider holdings.
