Borosil Limited

apparently, it’s trading around borosil’s valuation multiples, be it p/e, p/b, ev/ebitda or p/s…

Hi a slightly novice question but how do we account for the acquisition of these shares? Will the share price be zero buy value?

yes it will be priced as zero acquisition value

Hi

As per my understanding we are supposed to take 46.5% of the initial buy average price.

Thats the basis for price adjustment as per me, in the past I also got shares of Borosil Renewables and they have been at 0 acquisition cost, because as an investor we receive shares without any cost price…but you can consult your CA for right advice…

@samm2211 @UrvilShah acquisition cost for bonus shares is zero. For demergers, the company in the scheme document gives a ratio / percentage as to how you should split your original cost of acquisition between the two shares

its not showing the average cost for me in zerodha, what average cost should I put, I got shares from demerger, I did not buy them. anyone can please shed a light on this ?

On 5th December 2023 (which was demerger date) share price of Borosil Ltd reduced from 445 to 375.
So you have paid around 70rs for Borosil Scientific.
Even if your cost of Borosil Scientific is showing as 0 but you have actually paid around 70rs which is deducted from your Borosil Ltd on 5th December.

I am long term investor in Borosil and have been watching progress of this company under stewardship of Shreevar Kheruka. He had taken over a sleepy scientific glassware making company from his dad (we have all used Borosil burettes and pipettes in chemistry labs in school/ college) and slowly turned it into a thriving consumerware brand. From the beginning, Shreevar was very clear about what and how he wants to achieve the end goal. I remember attending many calls where despite lower margins, Shreevar would say that he is playing a long game of brand building and hence would not reduce marketing spend for the sake of margins for few quarters. All those efforts have started showing results now.

Slowly and steadily he added more products in glass as well as non glassware, built distribution network, added right manufacturing capacities, demerged scientificware division while increasing brand visibility and thereby increasing market share. Recent results of Borosil is testimony of this when you compare it with its competitors like La Opala, Cello etc. Seems like a classic case study for management school…

I have used many of the Borosil products and also got chance to check out their after sales service and happy to say I am satisfied with their product and service quality.

In last 5 years, company has created a good foundation for sustainable growth in highly competitive consumerware market. They have done the hard yards and now future looks very promising.
