  3. Margin should improve from here.

  4. revenue of 3500 to 40000 cr. can be achieved without any capex.

@Prasadwakchaure Found any info?

#11

@chikspat Why do you think it is interesting? What’s new/unusual/big about it?

#12
  1. Revenue increase without capex can lead to kick in operation leverage.
  2. De merger of marino shelter can lead to value unlocking of land parcel.
  3. In current situation, where new projects are very less, new order of 405 cr provide support in terms of revenue visibility. Once cycle turns and new projects start, increase in order can further boost top and bottom line.
  4. Nal se Jal can be a good opportunity site, where cemented pipes are used, which have higher margin.

Risk: They always have something as forex gain/loss. This part many times ruins/make results. Need a hedging stratergy.

Over hang on MANIND is family dispute among promoters. If MANIND manage to issue and list Man infrastructure shares as said in recent stock exchange filing. It will can be re rated. Marino shelter project commencement with developer can be additional good news.
Though Business prospect looks promising on international orders, gas pipe lines and water pipe lines, re rating will only happen when investor get confidence on promoters.

Doing some basic calculations at the end of september quarter (with near debt free status)
a) Cash equivalents = 238 cr
b) Company is expected to continue current performance for next 3-4 quarters
Total profit expected over next 4 quarters (by extrapolation) = 27 * 4 = 108 cr
c) Approx value of Depreciation = 12 * 4= 48 cr

So total cash in hand at the end of 4 quarters would be 238+108+48=394 cr.
Current market cap is around 400 cr.

Isn’t this company available literally for free at current valuations?

Following developments

  1. On concall management said many times that they want to reward shareholder. My guess is that after one level, cash/money do not matter much so promoters want to earn reputation, credit of good company, may be they want to show to their relatives (family dispute) that, market values us as good promoters.
  2. Subscribed to warrants as declared.
  3. Outlook revised to positive.

All in all looks company is trying best to uplift the image and reward share holders. Of course business also is on good footing. Here we can have many triggers waiting with good earning growth with image uplift
