Results on 29th October2014…

Board to consider interim dividend. The company is giving out so much dividend

Although I liked the idea, I am concerned about significant ownership by promoters and one individual investor.The stock does not have any involvement from institutional shareholders which leads to a significant risk for retail investors of getting squeezed.

Does anyone has any thoughts on Bhavook Tripathi and how his prior involvement with companies turned out?

hiBravo Alpha,

Sri Krishna,

Thank you for sharing the links!

These articles make it sound like he just hold a passive stake and does not go activist on companies. I am still not sure why other institutional investors do not have a stake in this stock.

I will read a bit more about the company to figure out the story.

Wow, results for third quarter just out and third interim dividend of Rs 0.9.

Cash and cash equivalents of 100+ Cr

A decent third quarter results. The Company is selling its BPO business and also looking for divestment of its Pune based subsidiary.

The play gets interesting. Is the management trying to induce takeover barriers via sale of assets?

@Sunil,

I don’t understand the logic behind this buyback. If you look at market cap and valuations at CMP, I think it’s quite overvalued. Apart from this, 600 lakhs is not a big amount and why total shares to exceed figure is so high if you look at CMP? Could you throw some light on mgmt rationale for this buy back?

Hi Aksh,

I tried contacting management and also my friend who works at rsys but haven’t received any reply yet.

From my personal opinion given eps of 5.4 and buy back execution below CMP 100, Company may be executing buyback in P/E range of 16 to 19. Given the cash company has with no debt this doesn’t seems overvalued to me. Neither does it look cheap.

600 lakh may not be huge amount but its around 0.6% of market cap. These seems to be baby steps in right direction.

I am trying to get information from management and friend working there. Will post as soon I get any reply.

Hi Sunil & Aksh

IMHO management is taking these steps toavoid hostile takeover. Buyback would increase EPS though only marginally. Management is paying hefty dividend to distribute cash among its shareholders. These are steps to avoid hostile takeover because these steps lead to increase in the valuation of the company.

Hi,

Management did not replied back however got some information from a friend in Pune who is working as Team Lead.

He said that RSystems had sold one of their unit in Europe. Not exactly sure about what is the exact amount collected but it is in excess of 6 crores rupees.

So with available cash it would be better to distribute dividends and do buyback to improve ratios.

Some information apart from above news which he shared.

He is working on financial project for big US client. Most of the employees in his office are completely occupied with loads of work and very very few are on bench, which is rare in services based IT companies. This seems to be a good sign.
