Of course there is a lot more analysis and research behind all these stocks but wanted to keep it concise here. VP threads have been very helpful to research and analyze these stocks as well. Thanks again!

Hi @salgia.pratik

List of interesting companies you have in your portfolio but it seems like your portfolio is too much in to power/energy sector. Don’t you see it as a risk or you have investment in some other asset to hedge your investments.

I would rather diversify into few more companies into consumer durable, ems, chemical sector etc.

Thanks

Thanks Mohit. Yes, I do have other asset exposure for diversification. Exposure to renewable energy stocks is by design to capture the growth India is looking at in achieving a target of 365 gigawatts (GW) of installed solar capacity by 2031-32 from 67 GW in April 2023.

Hi Pratik , I am not pro into valuation but do have some basic knowledge. I have posted one query in KPI Green energy thread that company Free Cash flow has been negative since last 5 years. I like the sales and profit they making but just because negative free cash flow I would like to monitor it further. Also no guidance on that given by management. I am also not sure if I am over concern about FCF.

Hi,

They have positive operating cash flows. They are investing in IPPs which is causing the cash out flow. IPP is high margin but capital intensive portfolio. Not too worried about it as these IPPs have long term contracts providing annual income. Let me know if you still have any questions on this.

This is really good to see. So the Cash flow is going back into re-investments. Your information looks far better than screener , Where do I can get this information , this will help in better decision making ? thank you sir.

This is directly from KPI’s annual report. Screener also has cashflow broken down between Operating, Investing and Financing, if you scroll below P&L and Balance Sheet. And no “sir” please

Because of low PE , L T food was on my radar list too but I didn’t find any MOAT in the business. It is commodity business and we have have existing players in same business. Margins has been in range of 10-11% from long time. Any rational behind selecting L T food ? asking purely from knowledge perspective only.

“I will try to respond on this over the weekend but I am switching some of this holding with Angel One today. Seems like a better opportunity”

Interesting set of companies, Pratik. For Kotyark Industries, what is your take on competition? Given the size of the opportunity, I do not understand why there are not many players making bio-diesel.

As per the investor presentation posted by company. They expect total revenue from all three segments for 2024-2025 at Rs.2,030 Cr. Am I missing something?
Despite that with Rs. 270 projected EPS for FY25, its still is a great buy provided they can deliver. There is a lot that they are trying to chew in my honest opinion

Added Affordable Robotics today to the portfolio

The numbers I have quoted above is based on a recent promoter interview. Revenue from EV segment is not concrete yet and is dependent on them being successful in selling EV closer to 2 shift capacity (commercial production not yet started but close). Revenue from Solar segment seems more or less certain.

Promoter commented that they are market leader and they might have more than 50% market share. He couldn’t comment on why others are not in the business yet. It didn’t seem like there are significant barriers to entry here but they seem to have an early mover advantage as supported by recent orders.

Here are my notes on this if you are interested to get in some more details:

Interesting set of companies. Would you please share investment rationale for the new picks ?

Thanks

Absolutely. I will try to post rationale on one stock every day. Sorry for the late response as I have been travelling a lot lately.

Here are my key notes and the model on Anant Raj. This gives me exposure to the data centre play at decent valuations.

Thanks for this. So assuming that their current business’ PAT remains stagnant, PAT from Data center business alone can go up 9x in the next 4 years. This looks promising. However, could you please clarify a couple of things for me. On the valuations front, when you say current PE of 55 is cheap, are you saying this from a future growth potential perspective or on the basis of comparison with other peers who are in the same business? Secondly, given that it gone up 9x in the last 24 months, how much of this future growth do you reckon is already factored in the current stock price? Thanks.
