Lazycap's Portfolio - Feedback

37% is too much but it is okay if you have a conviction. I am also invested 27% in PNB.

But i am here giving a comparison of very attractive PSU bank with this PVT bank.

Lowest NPA, book value advantage, all psu bank NPA increased except of PNB and this one.

Note - No buy/sell recommendation. Sharing just comparison for learning purpose.

Yes it’s going down, there could be multiple reasons (debt could be main) but I sure don’t know the same. Can only bet on catchup of market price with earnings

Go through above, one of the DII fund thread on Samhi. Even they are not sure :smiley:
This is CAT 3 AIF run by SOIC guys

Thanks, makes sense. It’s tested my patience though I retain my conviction. Personally think it should be over Rs.200 at least, but in the current environment, I guess if it crosses Rs.180, should be thankful! The key issue is they need to show stronger growth without increasing their NPAs and slippages. If that happens, I think the market will reward it well.

Kudos to you for backing your conviction so strongly - let’s hope it plays out well!

Update

Sold out

HDFC Bank - 1925
IDFC First - 66
Both gave 16-18% IRR

Bandhan Bank - 170

CUB as well (made some 13% post tax on CUB)

Keeping Cash (sold out of emotion maybe, banks kind of shot)

Added profits from CUB to Ugar Sugar works

Sugar shortage this season, and promoters loaded. So just gambling here, hopefully not much to lose

Update

Sold off Samhi around 195 on the day of GIC news (news based selling, short term thinking took over)

Added most of the proceeds from above and samhi to

Ugar Sugar - 42-43
Federal Mogul Goetze - 333

Now Ugar is 20% and Federal mogul is 20% of folio. Federal is more of a special situation play, supreme court hearing in Aug for mandatory open offer price ( expecting for some 600+ same as last time and ruling out 295 as approved by SAT)

Don’t see much downside in Federal although growth is almost nil, cash per share is around Rs. 100. Found to be pretty cheap. Worst to worst I may not lose and may make 20-30% in a year

Note: Not a recommendation on both

Could you please elaborate more on your reasons for 650+ open offer for Federal Moghul.
I have also started my research on this but thought of checking with you and if you can share a detailed note on your this position.

In short

Last time around similar case happened SEBI used independent valuer around 2019-2021 sometime I guess, not sure and SAT agreed with it. Valued at Rs. 600/ share

Now this time SAT sided with company, but SEBI went to supreme court. Logically if Supreme sides with SEBI then independent valuer would have to value and could be around 600 minimum as it was valued at that price back then when cash balance was not 500 cr which it is at present

Open offer is kind of mandatory as both the times it’s triggered from parent company acquisition and merger by Tenneco and Pegasus respectively

Although not sure what would open offer implication be (haven’t researched on this) but if at all, price will be rigged up as market will see optimism. If not the worst is I am getting 1270 EV company at 130-150 Free cash flow

Negative thing is all companies in this sector are cheap I think due to terminal value loss from EV disruption, but I ll take that risk as this is second high market share player next to shriram pistons I guess

One thing I am also thinking is their practice of 80 Cr maintenance cost every year for a 560-580 Cr gross block which I find strange. I think they might be just feeding parent company in the name of maintenance (just a hunch)

No concall or IPs from 2022 and no news except mandatory disclosures. It’s like they don’t care anymore, it’s just a cash throwing company for promoters. They may have chalked out way to pull cash out who knows

End of the day thesis is

Margin of safety is nice, good cash/share, cheap, dividend optionality, capex optionality (highly unlikely), open offer playing out or return at par with market if positive/ downside protection if market turns bad
