Half of stocks from my portfolio are from valuepickr scorecard thread (Ajanta, Mayur, Indag, Balkrishna, Atul, and Guj Reclaim)
Cochin Mineral is a short term play on the sudden rise in synthetic rutile price. They produce world class synthetic rutile.
Kaveri Seed Co is leader in seed/germplasm space, and growing very nicely.
Granules, Dishman management have given very good projection of future earnings.
Kajaria Ceramics is a psuedo-play into indian consumer boom
Amar Raj Battery is second largest producer in automobile battery and is rumored to be in advanced stage of negotiation for supply to battery to some big client. they also supply batteries for telecom towers.
i personally like most of the stocks in the portfolio except cochin minerals and rutile. i believe that could be a part of a trading portfolio and not a long-term one. i would like a higher exposure on atul auto and gujrat reclaim and less on indag rubber.
hitesh - how are the prospects for alembic and dishman
I don’t have much info on the stock story behind Alembic, except one where it has been recommended as a multibagger stock by PN Vijay. So I have reduced the exposure to it.
I have sold all of Cochin Minerals, and have added Kilburn Engineering in place of it. I have also started a small position in Astral Poly Teck and Mazda.
I am quite bullish on Indag because of the quality and consistency of management, and the numbers they are having. Planning to make it my top holding.
alembic growth driver will be both domestic and export segments. They are also in the midst of some expansions. Fruits of these are likely to be seen in fy 14.
dishman is more of a turnaround story with things gradually falling in place after going haywire over past few quarters. Carbogen amcis has started turning around and if it can start contributing significantly to bottomline things can get interesting.
yes I am bullish on unichem and I think in next 1-2 quarters, its act in the domestic segment is likely to fall in place. Exports are already going great. Biggest plus for unichem is that it is a debt free company. In the past it has generated a fair bit of market fancy and I dont see any reason why it should not be fancied once its results start showing good profit growth.
thanks for the clarifications. what are your views on granules india. management has set very high ambitions. with the expansions lined up and with company venturing more towards finished dosages, the company seems primed for good days ahead.
yes the turnaround seems to be on track. Stock price also has appreciated from around 50-55 levels to current levels of around 80. Looks good to buy on declines now onwards.
Thanks hitesh. Also, if I remember you were decently bullish on Hawkins and expect a 25-30% growth for the next 2 years. Do you think they have managed to get over their labour problems and hence now ready to get back to the growth path?
hitesh,
dishman has come up with some good results. did you have a chance to look at them.
Thanks to nice company policy of cheap loan (at around 7%) worth 2 months of salary, loaded up bunch of stocks. Hope this leverage gives me positive results.
interesting. although i am not a fan of using leverage to invest in stocks. what is the rationale behind aarti drugs? i heard our dear tulsianji recommending a couple of days back.
Me too not a very big fan of using leverage to buy stock. I am a guy who try to maintain a 50:50 ratio of equity:debt instrument. But this cheap loan, with interest on reducing balance, deduction of EMI at source made me take this bet.
Progressively decreasing DE ratio, Debt level, is resulting in increase in EPS for Aarti Drugs. The dividend yield is also 3%+. As per our dear tulsianjee the expected EPS is 32 in FY13, to me it can come to around 28 or so. So at a PE of 7 the future share price should come in and around 196-224, which is around 26-50% share price appreciation in a year or so.
I am even not taking into account of the midcap pharma pe re-rating that is going on in and around, and the pe re-rating that will happen to Aarti drugs because of the debt reduction that will happen to it, or good growth in sales that Aarti has shown in last 3-4 years.
Interesting moves, still going by that limit of 15% per stock ? I notice no of transactions reduced for Mayur from 9 to 6, means you have booked part profits ? What is your take on banks and NBFCs ? No place in your portfolio ?
