2.0 Technical

For technical please look for Tonyâs post in the techno funda section

Positives

- Theme can be played for currency depreciation

- Last 6 months has been good

- Low p/e ratio (3.4)

- Low market cap/sales ratio

- Stable promoter holdings

- Cotton prices are stable for some time and happen to remain so in the coming year as well

- Stable debt/equity ratio for the last 2 year

- Interest payments has been coming down

- Company has tuned profitable in the last year

- Sales has been continuously increasing for the last 5 years

- Recent improvement in profit margins

Negatives

- This company has always commanded lower valuations because of their inherent nature

- This sector always had lower market cap / sales ratio

- High capital intensive business (interest cost are generally big drag on these kind of companies)

- Not much pricing power

- These kind of companies are not wealth creators

- Promoter has already cautioned not to expect the earnings growth which has been in the last 6 months

- Low ROCE and RONW ratio in the teens

- Not so great cash profit margin

- Earning has been volatile in the past and can expect to remain so in the future

Right now the improvements in the fundamentals are not priced in for the stock. This stock can be played for 6-12 month time frame.

Fellow boarders request to take forward.

My take

  1. 15 consistent years of dividend paying history ,might be more I chkd moneycontrol the data is there for past 15 yrs . So we can say a credible management .
    2 440 crs market cap and annual sales of 2000CR and profit of 50 crs .
    3 price is to book is 0.5 and some of the peers have price to book of 6
    4 Recent impetus of govt policies to revive textiles as well as many high profile investors queuing up on textile counters
    5 debt equity is reducing considerabky and also the interst outgo
    6 roe is very less from past many yrs . Other pundits can help whether it is same for all textile mfrs
    Quite new to this forum ,would love a review from other members and seniors
    Dsicl invested from last 10 mths

This stock popped up on my screener a few days back… After some basic study, I see that Nahar Spinning Mills is part of Nahar group. Another company from the same group, Nahar Industrial Enterprises also has the same business… In fact it was Nahar industrial Enterprises which caught my eye and I came to know that this one also from the same promoters have similar business… What is your take on two different companies from the same promoters operating in more or less similar fields… What is your opinion about chances for conflict of interest?
