Brightcom Group stock price trend

The Brightcom Group is a digital marketing company founded in 2000 and headquartered in Hyderabad, India with offices across the world in US, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, UK, France, Germany, Sweden, China, India, Australia, etc.

As per the company's website, it consolidates Ad-tech, New Media and IoT-based businesses across the globe, primarily in the digital eco-system. Its clients include leading blue-chip advertisers like Airtel, British Airways, Coca-Cola, Hyundai Motors, ICICI Bank, ITC, ING, Lenovo, LIC, Maruti Suzuki, MTV, P&G, Qatar Airways, Samsung, Viacom, Sony, Star India, Vodafone, Titan, and Unilever.

In the December quarter, the company's profit stood at 26 lakh, up considerably from 3 lakh in the year-ago period. Its revenue came in at 93 crore in Q3 2021 vs 83 crore in Q3 2020. The board of directors also approved a bonus issue in the ratio of 2:3 along with the results of the latest quarter.

However, analysts advise caution while investing in the stock. As per market experts, the company has a very weak presence among the DIIs and FIIs despite a very high market cap, which is worrisome. Further, the consistently reducing promoter holding over the years also does not instill a lot of confidence in the stock.

Hence, if you are an investor with a high-risk appetite, you can consider investing in the stock, however, for investors with a low-risk appetite, it would be safer to skip the stock despite the tremendous returns.
