It's been a long since we had any discussion on this blog.
I apologise for the same but was too much occupied in the professional life.
Anyways, I have not been recommending any new shares on this blog, just sharing my views or my vested interest in stocks. Readers can always ask any queries, I will always try to answers those as soon as possible.
The Indian market in past year, has gone through many hiccups, and it is still near the all time high levels. We saw demonetisation impacting the company's numbers in Q3 FY'17, then we had BS IV transition which had an impact on auto numbers in Q4 FY'17 and now GST roll over impacting in Q1 FY'18. On top of it, every one is aware of how pharma and IT sector has lost its shine, especially pharma sector, with increased competition, export price erosion, stricter USFDA and price regulation enforced by Indian government working together. In spite of these, if your market is still at its highs, it speaks volumes about the strength of the Indian market, as well as the trust shown by FIIs and DIIs.
On current earnings, the market might look expensive, but it seems to be trading on forward earnings expecting some benefit from GST for organised names, great push in infra spending, and housing for all by 2022 promised by government. Also, the auto sector seems to have better growth prospects on increased standard of living and 7th pay commission.
In this post, I will talk more about the companies which have been under pressure, and less about the names where everything is going well.
Ajanta Pharma, Granules India & Torrent Pharma:
The sector has faced tremendous heat in past 6 months, and it is likely to continue with above mentioned reasons. However, I still feel that we are tracking 3 of the better companies in the sector, where I expect the least impact. For Ajanta, the profits have shown decline which has led to its downfall. However, if they atleast keep on growing in sales, they will catch up with profits sooner or later. The silver lining for Ajanta is their new beginning in US markets. It had negligible presence earlier, but now with few approvals, it has started delivering good numbers. The growth in US market is likely to continue which will offset the pressure company is getting from African market. This quarter was also under pressure on account of GST transition in India. They have had history of giving 12-15% growth in India every quarter, which was down 12-15% this quarter yoy. One also has to consider the fact that because of all negatives, the fair value for pharma companies has also come down. At one stage, because of its fundamentals, Ajanta was trading at 40 P/E, which is now down to 22 P/E. All in all, we need to keep an eye on how sector pans out, and each one should take their actions accordingly based on their investment time frame and risk appetite.
Granules India, I don't see a reason why stock price has declined, because the company has not had almost any impact seen on the overall sector. Infact, this quarter, the company showed 10% growth in sales, which they were not able to show in past 5-6 quarters. The profits were flat this quarter just because of the fact that Omnichem JV didn't contribute at all this quarter, where it had given around 9-10 Cr profit last year same quarter. However, the management has informed that the overall sales for the year is not going to be impacted, it is just the nature of business where income might move quarter to quarter. Recently the company has received EIR for Gagillapur facility from US FDA. Also, last year US FDA gave 7 observation to Visag facility of Omnichem, where they have now mentioned that they don't want further inspection and EIR might come anytime. In short, lots of positives for the company, and it will be interesting to watch full year numbers this time, as company earlier mentioned that they are expecting blockbuster FY'18 and FY'19.
Torrent Pharma falls is one of the recent companies that we have started tracking, but again, there has been no appreciation. Performance wise, it still looks good to me, but you never know these days. The company has started consolidating on the high base set by gAbilify sales last & last to last year, but the price erosion has started taking toll on its profit. In that case, I would put it in league with Ajanta Pharma, where it will be interesting to see if out-performance in the sector could still help these companies turnaround in future.
Dewan Housing, Can Fin Homes & PNB Housing Finance:
Housing Finance companies have been on a roll with terrific performances and very bright prospectus. The government's effort in the mission of housing for all by 2022 through the concept of affordable housing is giving a great push to these companies.
We have been tracking Dewan Housing Finance and Can Fin Homes since very long, almost 3 years now. Apart from these, as mentioned in my last update, that was in Feb'17,
We had started tracking PNB Housing Finance. It has been the fastest growing HFC in past many quarters, and management has confidently mentioned that they are going to outperform the overall industry in FY'18 also.
As such, there are no new updates or threats to these companies, so we will keep it short.
Cera Sanitaryware & Somany Ceramics:
While the companies in this sector were just getting ready to get rid off all demonetisation blues, they had to face GST transition pressure this quarter. Cera might not have come up with numbers yet, but Somany declared a weak set of numbers on roll out with GST. But overall, if you look at the sector, there are many unorganised players. So GST roll out will eventually be extremely helpful to these companies, as the gap between organised and unorganised companies will end in terms of taxes, which would result in higher sales of branded products. Also, if we say that government's push in housing for all by 2022 is going to succeed, then this is one sector which is going to benefit indirectly. Overall a positive stance on these companies once GST transition process stabilises.
Steel Strip Wheels, Force Motors, FIEM Ind & Pricol:
As discussed already, if we are positive on Auto sector for long term, then we have to be positive on Auto Ancillary space. In case of Force Motors as well, rather than its core business, I am positive on the division which supplies engines-axle to Mercedes Benz and BMW in India. The reason being, with increased standard of living, and new models launched by BMW and Mercedes Benz which fits into budget of higher & higher middle class people in India, the sales are likely to zoom in next few years for these car makers. As per HDFC securities report, the sales of luxury cars in India is expected to triple by 2020. This indirectly makes the picture rosy for Force Motors. Obviously, their business is also pretty good and they are enjoying a sort of monopoly in few models.
Steel Strip Wheels has been performing pretty well. The result for Q1 FY'18 might look flat, but the reason behind it is the reduction in raw material prices seen till May-June'17. In terms of volumes, their sales were pretty good even in Q1. Now, since the raw material prices have gone up and last 1 year being the one where prices declined by 20%, the result for next few quarters are expected to be good. The volumes are increasing plus prices have increased, which was the reason why company was able to post 41% growth in turnover for July month. The trend is likely to continue which is why management has confirmed that this quarter is going to be the best in terms of revenues.
Pricol has seen almost no movement since we have started tracking. But still, I am positive on the business, especially considering its product line and the sort of market share it is having in those products. The primary reasons for no appreciation since Nov last year, was selling of shares by promoters and amalgamation process apart from other casual impacts on the sector. It will be to interesting see the numbers going forward, especially after Q3 this year, as they will become comparable yoy post amalgamation process.
FIEM Ind faced its worst quarter in Q4 FY'17 because of BS IV transition. The sales of 2 wheeler vehicles were badly impacted because of the same, where 96% of its revenues are coming. The sales for the month of Apr May and Jun have been relatively better, which will start having positive impact on the results of the company. Wait & watch here.
Plastiblends Ind, Poddar Pigments, Gulshan Polyols & Dynemic Products:
Some of the leading experts have said that if we consider 2010-2015 as the golden years for IT and Pharma sectors, then the years from 2015-2020 are going to be for Specialty Chemicals. It seems that their analysis was perfect looking at the returns most of the companies in the sector has given in past 2 years. Most of the companies we are following have been giving decent numbers and have seen good appreciation from when we started tracking them. One of the weaker link has been Gulshan Polyols but in terms of sales, I think they are doing pretty well. It is their profit which is not catching up that can boost the market demand. But as always, I am fine if company is growing in sales.
Dhanuka Agritech, PI Ind & Shree Pushkar Chemicals:
Again a sector which has faced some heat off-late. Both of our companies came out with sluggish set of numbers, but by no means have the fundamentals changed. Dhanuka still remains one of the better bet in agro-chemical sector. The product line is very strong with good acceptance among farmers. The balance sheet and all return ratios are pretty good.
PI Ind as always, I see it as the model company in terms of balance sheet strength, margins, return ratios, heavy order book and management's vision. The flatness in result was mainly due to GST destocking and some CSM orders getting deferred to coming quarters. Overall company has guided 10% growth in spite of weak Q1. Order book in CSM is still at 1 billion $. The management is quite confident about second half of this fiscal.
New name I am tracking in the sector is Shree Pushkar Chemicals & Fertilizers. The company is consistently delivering good numbers. Even in this quarter, when the prices of Vinyl Suphone and H-acid had fallen from past year and there was some GST Impact, company still came out with 23% growth in sales. It is virtually debt free company. The management has guided for total revenues of around 410-425 Cr as compared to 324 Cr last year. It is by no means cheap in terms of valuation, but still with this kind of growth posted, one can definitely have a look at this.
Control Print, Ganesha Ecosphere, Garware Wall Ropes & Talwalkar Fitness:
When things are going perfectly fine, you are not left with much to say about. That sums up all the companies in this segment. Each one is growing at a decent pace and are mostly outperforming their sector. As such, valuation wise also, I see each of them getting well appreciated since we started following these companies. Nothing new to add.
Indo Count Ind, Lincoln Pharma & Salzer Electronics:
I see these companies as the ones who have been poor performers in this mega market rally. The reason for Indo Count is again the sectorial problem where all textile companies have failed to deliver good set of numbers. On top of it the base of last 2 years was very high as it used to grow at 20-30% in that period. Now it has started consolidation and the market is not happy with that. On books, they are still standing tall. The debt:equity now stands around 0.33, which is rarity in the sector, and this is one company which has come back from debt re-structuring. Frankly speaking, I am not sure on its future looking at how market is reacting to consolidation phase, and hence I won't be presenting my stance on it.
Lincoln Pharma also in seeing de-growth but that is more because of the fact that they have stopped one of their businesses which was eventually loss making for them and now they have shifted entire focus on pharma range. The good part is that most of their sales are coming from Indian markets so in a way they are safe from US FDA strictness. :) As such I don't see much issues overall, but you know Mr market, they believe in proof. Unless they see performance, people will keep themselves away from such names. And in a way, that is right as well.
Salzer Electronics is altogether a different case. I don't see much negatives surrounding it, but no movement in price. The good part is the company has been introducing new products in market and receiving contracts from high tech foreign agencies. Promoters have increased their holdings recently. I am eagerly waiting to see how numbers this year pans out.
Srikalahasthi Pipes, PSP Projects & Kolte Patil Developers:
Coming to the most talked about sector of markets these days. People see this sector especially the organised players as the one of the mostly likely to benefit from government moves. Srikalahasthi Pipes has been the one we have been tracking since long. There has not been any change in fundamentals since then. In fact this quarter, the company saw 53% jump in sales, which is quite pleasing to eyes. The management concerns has still kept price in check. Let's see if it can overcome it any day.
The 2 new companies from this sector that I have started tracking are PSP Projects and Kolte Patil Developers. Both these companies are concentrated in specific regions and hence the size of the companies are small. Their vision though are not, and they have been doing well to achieve that.
PSP Projects has been recently listed company which caters to industrial, institutional, government, government residential and residential projects in India, mostly though in Gujarat. They have very good reputation of delivering almost all projects before time, which is one of the reasons why they have very strong order book from government organizations.
Coming to Kolte Patil Developers, most of their projects are concentrated in Mumbai, Pune and Banglore. The good part is that all 3 cities have many service class people who are looking for affordable housing properties, where Kolte Patil has good presence. The growth off-late because of the same reasons have been very strong and is likely to continue in my opinion. RERA introduction is also expected to help some of these branded companies in real estate, as they have already been more or less compliant. The small builders are expected to face some pressure out of it. It is now up to these companies to utilise the opportunity well.
Among our overall list of stocks, the ones I have stopped tracking are Capri Global, Camlin Fine Sciences, Suven Life Sciences, Swiss Glascoat, TCPL Packaging and Flex Foods. It is not that I have lost confidence in these companies, but it is more because of limited number of companies that I like to track on regular basis. The above listed companies might be performing well, but still, I am not in position to give my detailed look into it. Some of these names have already given multi-fold returns since we started discussing here, but from now on, I won't be giving a detailed views on these.
Discloure:
I am not a research analyst, nor an investment adviser. Through this post, I am only putting my views, and which has nothing to do with any action that can be taken by readers on any specific company.

Discloure:
I am not a research analyst, nor an investment adviser. Through this post, I am only putting my views, and which has nothing to do with any action that can be taken by readers on any specific company.
Sir, your views on Orchid Pharma, which was referred to NCLT for appointment of interim resolution professional...
ReplyDeleteHi, I am not tracking Orchid Pharma..
DeleteAs such, I am not generally a fan of stocks which might turnaround. I would rather invest in companies which has actually turned around and looking good for future. This gives me enough margin of safety.
But it can be different for different types of investors and the risk appetite they carry.
I generally look for these companies, only when I don't find any good companies in market, which rarely has been the case with Indian market.
Overall I don't see pharma as a huge rewarding sector for next few years, but still to keep my portfolio diversified, I will have few of them which are well placed to outperform the sector. That is what I look for.
Regards!!
kolte rocking. almost 25% gain since this post.
ReplyDeleteGood
Again, let me re-iterate, the purpose of the blog is not to give trading ideas to readers.
DeleteI am just sharing my views on results and future business prospects of some of the companies. I may be wrong.
However, if someone is benefiting from these views, it is good to know, but that is not the purpose.
Hi Kunal ...What's your view on Indiabulls Ventures?
ReplyDeleteSorry for the delayed response.
DeleteI understand the stock has gone up by huge amount in past 1 year or so, but it is necessary to think about whether it actually is worth so much rise.
The shift is majorly on account of changes in underlying business. The investor expectations on higher returns from NBFCs, compared to low margin income earned from research and advisory firms is leading stock to new high in my opinion.
However, when I look at valuations, I am not too comfortable at this moment. Hence I would remain neutral on it.
Strictly my personal opinion.
Regards!!
Dear Kunal,
ReplyDeleteHope you are doing good... thanks for your latest update.. are you still tracking kitex..I have been stuck with this counter at 290..do you feel averaging below 200 is good decision?
Hey Satheesh, I am not tracking it strictly, but still on my radar. I was equally hopeful at those levels as you in this counter, but things are still not looking good at present.
DeleteThe same has contributed to the fact that stock which once used to trade around 30 P/E, is now trading around 15 P/E.
Fundamentally, I still dont see much issues. As promised the management has cleared up almost all the debt on books which is good.
This quarter saw a slight single digit growth in sales, which was also positive. The margins definitely have been impacted, but if you ignore relative comparison with their past years and look at absolute net profit margins, they are still above 15%, which is not bad.
The shift in investors confidence always takes its own time, and it may reward if things continue to remain positive from now on.
Hope you can read between the lines.
By the way, I have seen few management interviews after Q1 getting posted, but haven't checked any of them yet.
May be, it will have some information which could guide us.
Thanks!!
Sir, Any new stock that attracts your eye at the moment ..?
ReplyDeleteMost of the stocks are listed here.
DeleteApart from these, have been tracking Kingfa Science, where I am slightly positive. The other one is Omkar Specialty Chemicals, now divided into Omkar Specialty Chemicals and Lasa Supergenerics, but not fully convinced with management. In terms of performance, both of them are impressive.
Also as mentioned in this post, have been positive on Kolte Patil and PSP Projects off-late, where I entered some 3 months ago.
PSP recently had a big news coming in with company getting an order of 1575 Cr to be executed within 30 months, which led stock to new high.
Will post if I find something new along with the next post.
Regards!!
Hey Kunal, Any other stock in your radar right now?
ReplyDeleteI would like to study it as well.
I do have few, these are not recommendations of any sort. I am just replying to your question and those are the ones I am studying right now.
DeleteKingfa Life Sciences, GIC Housing Finance, Shivalik Bimetal, BLS International to name a few.
Thanks!!
Hi Kunal,
DeleteCan you share your analysis on Q2 results for companies you are studying/earlier mentioned in this blog. Thanks!
Also, if you can share your recent/last investments..?
DeleteMostly this weekend...
DeleteSorry, but going very busy in professional life...
Thanks for understanding!
Please share recent/last investments and analysis on Q2 results....Thanks in advance.... :)
DeleteCan you share scrip code of Kingfa life sciences. I couldn't find it and can only see Kingfa science & Tech which is into plastics. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI had mentioned Kingfa Science only.. :-)
