About the company The Mandhana Retail Ventures Ltd
TMRVL was actually demerged from Mandhana Industries and when the demerger took place the companies debt stood nearly at 17.5 crores. But as Mr. Manish Mandhana the MD told in an interview that they have managed to reduce the debt to just over 7 crores in due course.
The company sells apparel under the brand name Being Human. The domestic business contributes to 91% of the revenue. They have 60 odd brand outlets out of which few are in international locations like France, Mauritius, and Nepal. Apart from own outlets, their brand is present in large retail stores like Shopper’s Stop, Lifestyle, etc. The company also has a large distribution network.

Technical aspect of the company
As per the Zerodha Kite daily chart, we can see the correction is over in this Rakesh Jhunjhunwala latest pick and the daily SuperTrend indicator is trying to come back to buy more. As both the fundamental and technical scenario is favoring bulls I suggest to add a small quantity of this stock to your portfolio (CMP 229.65) and add more when SuperTrend buy is confirmed in the daily chart. We can safely expect 260-270 in the short term. Medium-term the stock also has the potential to become a multibagger.

When we have first written this post the price of the stock was quoting at 229.65 on April 2017. Our expectation went wrong and in the last two and half years the stock has dropped a lot.

From the current technical analysis of the stock we can see that the stock is trying to recover.The Relative Strength Index is showing momentum. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence is still on the negative territory but it is trying to enter the positive zone. So the stock is trying to be back with a renewed buying interest.
Actually the main reason for the pain of this company was due to the cancellation of contract between the company and Salman Khan Foundation. The contract was regarding the brand Being Human.
