🎯 Investment Thesis

Given the significant decrease in revenue and the shift to a gross loss, a SELL recommendation is warranted for Shadman Cotton Mills. The company’s financial performance indicates potential struggles in maintaining profitability and market share. The lack of diversification in customer base adds to the risk profile. Due to these issues, a significant return is very unlikely.
