Hello members,

My first post here.

Was doing some back of the envelope calculations on the land value. GOCL claims it will sell 264 acres for Rs. 3,402 crores, which works out to around 12.88 cr/acre.

The going rate as per property websites is between Rs 40-55 cr/acre.

Even at Rs 13cr/acre the company looks attractive, but was wondering if there’s something fishy, or if there’s a rational explanation for the underpricing.

On another nots, I observe that GOCL lost its case against Udasin Mutt both in the High Court, and in the Supreme Court (in 2023).

One reason could be the promoters are taking some part in cash. The lane is in prime area and any developer would readily want to purchase it. I read on Income tax officials raid realty major Phoenix | Income tax officials raid realty major Phoenix that some minister has earlier forced them to sell the piece of land transacted earlier.

Still, even just considering the land parcel of 3402 crores, and that the money would be reflecting in company books in a few months, the company seems to valued low. What going be the cause? Any ideas.

[catcat]

At the cost of sounding faceticious, you could say it is “Hinduja Group Discount”. Another group company, Hinduja Global Solutions, got a ton of cash by selling its healthcare business. They did pay a good dividend, and did a buyback, but then proceeded to lend a large sum of money to another group company at absurdly low rates.

“Taking some part in cash” could happen for some companies, but here they have no need to - they’re selling it to a non-publicly held group company.

[HSPl]

Yes, but maybe that group buying the plot doesn’t want to deal in cash. On your other point, if the market doesn’t want to rate the incoming call flows highly, how should the forum value the stock. Like other holding companies of Kama, Bajaj holdings where the discount is upto 60% or more like Tata investment corporation or Rajapalayam mills which have lower discounts. Since they have other plots and have also lent money and have 10% stake in Hinduja UK hotel, can we expect a higher valuation in coming years.

[catcat]

My mistake regarding another group company. The 3402 cr is in partnership with Squarespace Builders. There’s some other Joint Development Agreement with Hinduja Healthcare Limited for a smaller parcel of land.

The other point is this - the Hinduja group is known to do related party transactions at a disadvantage to the shareholder. Hence the discounting. Their actions in Hinduja Global Solutions, and the apparent underpricing is cause for concern. Hence the drastic underpricing.

If they’d buyback the the shares with or distribute the whole amount as dividend, it’d be one thing. What’s the guarantee that they won’t lend to another group company at 4%, which they have done in the past.

Having said that, the price may be so undervalued that even if you take into account possible company activities not in the interest of the shareholders, you may still make a tidy profit.

Stock price rose 12% in last 5 days with good volume. Could not find any triggers or updates. Does the market know something?
