KRN Heat Exchangers - Unbelievably Promising or Merely a Marketing Trick?

I would love to initiate conversation on “KRN Heat Exchanger and Refrigeration Limited” the fundamentals look good in fact too good but cant seem to find much about the company through other good sources.

Some Positives

  • Compounded sales growth and profit growth are very high, ROE and ROCE are also quite high
  • Air conditioning market expected to grow quite a lot in India

Some Risks

  • Cash from operations is very less as compared to net profits (time period 2021 to 2024). Need to check if profits have been manipulated or not
  • Highly dependent on top clientele

Something to dig deeper

  • The directors are just family and close relatives it seems. There aren’t many people with very high qualifications (Could be an indicator of honesty as well). Some are just 10/12 pass

Disclaimer: Got the IPO allotment and exited after opening day gains

Instead of mentioning some or less, can you include numbers to your analysis. Please do mention their competitors. If there is any moat available or what is the company’s USP, do write them.

Please read forum guidelines properly before initiating a thread.
https://forum.valuepickr.com/faq

To nurture a vibrant community ValuePickr does not restrict anyone from starting a thread on a stock of his/her choice. Only Caveat is if you are going to introduce a discussion on a stock, we expect you to do your homework and start the thread with some basic info-set, and 1st level analysis such as growth drivers, a few positives & negatives, immediate triggers if any, and enumerate some RISKS. Nothing very heavy is required, but enough to set the tone for 2nd level of discussions.

Thread initiators are usually alerted to edit their post, and make necessary changes before thread is opened up again. So you/colleague and look to edit the post in order to meet prescribed guidelines. We have the responsibility - especially the thread initiator (assumption is he/she is a savvy investor) - to cater to bringing everyone on same page - quickly - if you know what we mean.
