RITES is not only a railway player, they are major consultants for airports, national highways and other city constructions like bridges. So, their client concentration is relatively low.

what happened to EIL…

Just wondering…the latest Cash Balance as per 12/31/2018 balance sheet is Rs.3511 crore which is almost equal to Company’s current market Cap, which means you are getting the entire company for free. Amazed to see such a thing in non financial company.

@Skylight_Investments - The current market cap appears to be about 7000 Cr.

Oh that was my mistake, I just checked the enterprise value and misinterpreted that as market capitalization. Thank you for the correction :slight_smile:

But still, per share cash balance is half of the per share price.

There is no reason to suggest that margins will come down. Management .has allayed this fears for 5 quarters now in turnkey vs consultation margin mix . As for as them, turnkey are taken so they get exposure into certain new projects, which inturn then provides more work on consulting side. In the reported 6 quarters, the lowest margin is 25% …so I feel 15% worst case assumption is way too low for Rites. Given there is no negative news , the worst drop I can see is 20% & that too I am stretching a bit.

  1. What makes Rites a better bet than EIL?
  2. What is stopping Rites to go the EIL way?
