Comments |
SUMMARY: The largest private sector fully integrated manufacturer of Stainless Steel in India. Already on expansion leg to manufacture another 0.8 MPT (Million Per Ton) in Orissa. This is a 5000 Cr. Company which will expand by 20% in next two years in volume. In value terms, there may be growth depending on volatile Nickel prices which is a major input in value terms. (4% to 10% in volume). The use of Stainless Steel is expanding from traditional households to sanitary, public utilities such as Bus stands (they already received major contract in Delhi), outer façade of modern buildings, and even passenger coaches in trains.POSITIVE: Low equity of 16 Cr shares for a company that will have Rs 6000 Cr revenue in one year or cool Rs 375/shr. Operating margin may expand this year due to almost 20% reduction in cost input. Presuming 16% GP and 6% NP the EPS could reach Rs 22. The stock trading at Rs 33.70 discounts 1.5 times prospective PE in growth industry. Low interest rates, low fuel costs, lower Nickel in due to Russian Ruble devaluation (helps keep lower Nickel prices, Russia is a major producer), higher demand due to Infrastructure rates, make this stock appealing. JSL Financial – Annual
NEGATIVE: Loss in sequential quarter (reason not known). War with Pakistan, Election in May 2009 and prolonged recession may cause Stainless Steel dumping in India. CAUTION: Dilution effect due to Warrants and FCCB outstanding not considered as the figures are not available with me.). VERDICT: A rare industrial stock that could multiply 5 times (400% return). The current dividend yield 6.5% (Rs 2 on CMP Rs 33.70) equals to bank deposits. Dividend yield may increase, not reduced. Fund raising at today’s price is ruled out, unless the main shareholders want to grab more shares. |
