one excerpt from the link

**“A.**Management, business growth and understanding the downsideriskare the most important things that I look for before buying any shares in any company.”

Though have the fair idea of concepts behind Management Quality and growth, I dont quite appreciate “understanding the the down side risk”. Though it has been used several times on VP as well.

Would invite VPs to share what their view of “understanding the downside risk” is and how do they actually do it.

Thanks,

Promoter Holding

If any company have promoter holding near 75%, does that mean there is very limited upside move for that stock?

Because as per SEBI rule promoters cannot have more than 75% holding and it would be difficult for MF or institutions to participate if market cap is lower than their thresholds.

High promoter holding is a positive sign i would assume. The promoter will have all the more incentive to produce good results.

Consistent High RoE , dividend yield , low debt automatically attract investors. Ajanta and Alembic pharma have ~74% promoter holding and are trading at near 30 p/e and 10 price to book, Equity capital is just abt 500-600cr

Promoter Holding

As per SEBI rule, if promoter holding is more than 75% then company may get delisted.

Assuming if I had shares and that company and it got delisted, what happen to my shares?

I have some very basic queries related to buybacks.

1). If company announces buybacks and dues to news stock price may rise. Can the insiders use it for their benefit to exercise their stock options?

2). If company is diluting shares through options and other means and later announces buybacks, do those buybacks have any significance.

Hi Sunil,

1). Generally the buuyback price is about 10% over the current share price. The stock options are issued to senior mgmt and directors. The insiders can use the increase in share price to exercise their options. I dont see it as much of a negative unless everyone starts doing so.

2). If the company is doing buyback to make up for the equity dilution thru options then it is not significant .

In many places definition to derive capital expenditures is given by
changes in asset - changes in liabilities

I am somehow still not very clear with it.

Can someone please help me step by step procedure to calculate capex for year2014 for following link.

Hi,

Profit after Tax 115,538,352

Add: Profit brought forward from previous year 313,573,055

Net Profit available for appropriation 429,111,407

These are figures from shivam autotech march 2010

annual report.

Profit was 11.55Cr and then they added 31.35Cr as profit brought forward as a result Net profit comes 42.91Cr.

Can someone please explain what is profit brought forward and should eps calculation be done considering this? What to interpret if this amount is huge?
