Hi have just started researching this company. Wanted to understand what has led to the sharp increase in Gross Block in Balance Sheet for FY20?
Hi,
After elevation of Sandeep kataria as global CEO, Gunjan Shah(earlier chief commercial officer of Britannia) takes over as CEO of Indian Operations. He is an IIM K Alumnus and has worked with various big firms like Asian Paints and Motorola earlier.
Management rejig indicates Indian operations will have more weightage in future for BATA. In terms of Revenue wise Bata India is highest among their 70 markets where they operate. Now it needs to be seen how it overcomes challenges from competitors likes of Relaxo after the pandemic subsides.
Thanks,
Deb
Hi,

Today went to Bata store.
As per salesman they have recently launched sports shoes, which looked quite good. As per salesman these were selling at quite good pace.
By looks you can compare them with some top brands.
Higher end range was around Rs 5000-/

Just sharing a personal experience, recently I’ve made purchase from couple of Bata showrooms in Chennai and I can tell the prices of the items have been increased a lot and the feel and quality looks promising at the very first look which makes you buy it, however after wearing it for some time I started getting second thoughts on my purchase decision especially when I take into account the prices I paid!

Hello friends,
I was studying the technical charts of BATA India yesterday and I found that it has formed a Double Bottom chart pattern on the weekly time frame. However, it is still not the right time to enter the stock, since the downward fall needs to stop and the stock needs to show signs of consolidation and a slight upmove. This would be proven, if it closes on a weekly timeframe above Rs. 1420 and it will become ripe for a 6-8month timeframe. My first target for the stock in that case would be Rs. 1771 and my ultimate target is Rs. 1973, from where it started manifesting the double bottom.

The “MOAT” that Bata once had ~20 years ago as a reliable brand is no more existing. They have turned into cross sellers of other brands. It seems the reliability they once had has long faded for some reason. On top the new gen seems to not value them as much especially in wake of international brands making in-roads with hypes like Jordans, On etc and new players bringing in tech and sustainability themes. I wish Bata transforms it self in likes of ASICS simple yet legendary.
As per my method, the fair value of Bata comes to around Rs. 600 per share. I do not understand why its trading 2-3x its fair value, can anyone add some insights, what I am missing here? Thanks, not Invested.

It’s simple, I checked the current EPS from moneycontrol, 25 and multiply with a “realistic” PE of 25/30 then we arrive to Rs. 625-750.

the error you are making is considering realistic PE to be 25/30 .. In general terms, people say a PE of 20 is good. But it doesnt apply to all stocks. And only by looking at PE you shouldnt decide. To make you realize look at PE of Trent.

One of the key parameters on which PE depends is growth rate, I don’t understand why a company which is shrinking sales and PAT since last 2 years is getting such high valuation.
Trent example is really not relevant as it was growing at 20-30% ..
