Sahyadri Industries

Sahyadri industries is trading at a P/e of 8 with a current eps of 64.
Since everyone knows company does well in Apr-June quarter and the same is reflected in q1 numbers. (As you mentioned an EPS of 70 is easily achievable)

Is it safe to invest at current levels considering the timing or should I wait to get a better margin of safety at play?

Sahyadri can be bought in the range of 460 to 510 with a one year view as it quite likely to see further upside and can see levels of 600 to 650 . However, since majority of the sales is from asbestos , it is uncertain as to whether its PE can get re-rated currently, unless the company diversifies its product portfolio and reduces the dependence on asbestos products so that its get re-rated.

As the company has initiated the process of having investor meets , it is quite possible that large investors can take interest in this stock , which can take the stock to higher levels, as the floating stock is very low.

All is good for this company except the word “Asbestos”. For me, it takes me back 25 years to school days, when we studied the hazards of asbestos.
So when a company says we are “increasing capacity of Asbestos products” that for me is somehow not very optimistic.

Others like HIL who were in this space in past already reinvented their products.

Can any of the learned member pls tell when this company will come out of ASM LT-1 in BSE? All roofing stocks such as HIL, Sahyadri and Visaka are in ASM. Hence the movement of price and volume is minimal for last couple of weeks.

Mukul Agrawal has increased his stake by 20% in Q2FY22.

Results seems to be good even thought it is flat on YoY basis considering the demand for company’s products are seasonal in nature. However there seems to be couple of positives which I feel Mr. Market will look forward.

Positives:

1.Commercial production at new Plant at Perundurai, Erode, Tamil Nadu is expected just ahead of Peak Season and therefore can expect good Results for June 2022 Quarter. Please note the Company s products are seasonal in nature and Bulk of the Revenue is earned in April to June Quarter.

2.Status of expansion of orissa project: company has applied with Orissa state government for necessary approvals and search for suitable land is started as per States norms.

3.Status of expansion of PERU plant: civil work is at its last stage of completion. Major machineries have reached at site and errection work is going in full swing. Trial production runs are expected to be completed ln third quarter of year 2021-22. Commencement of commercial production is scheduled to commence during fourth quarter of year 2021-22.

  1. CEO Mr. Maheshwari has promised in the last AGM that from Q2 they are planning for earning con calls. Hope they will come out with some guidance in the earnings con call.

5.Recent brokerage calls company had will give enough confidence on the investor community to stay invested. I feel from the peak of 885 touched in August 2021, stock has corrected almost 25%, market may discount the results considering the positives and future triggers.

Last of couple of months, Sahyadri is meeting different brokerages for analyst meet. However none of them have published any research report on SIL to my notice if I am not wrong. If any VP member who is tracking SIL notice any research report on SIL, please share for the benefit of other members. Thanks

Has any body received reply from CS regarding request for listing of shares on NSE? I have sent couple of reminders. But he has not responded to any of the emails.

They just don’t respond to any query. I also tried in past with few reminders as well.

Finally lost interest & good that exited.

Yes, you are right, it is prone to cancer RISK BUT

India is the world biggest importer of asbestos (around 2 billon dollar industry), people in rural areas used this sheets for home ceilings etc., environment will be treated in the same way cement industry makes.

Hi, I’m also tracking the same. Can you please let me know from where you got this information?

Chrysotile the main raw material which is used in white Asbestos sheets is imported mainly from Ukraine/Russia . There will definitely be an impact on supplies but all building products companies stock prices including Everest / HIL are doing all right. Shouldn’t there be concern?

I’d like to correct you here.
Sahyadri imports raw material from Kazakhstan primarily and Brazil is their backup option.
They’ve got nothing to do with Ukraine or Russia
