BANARAS BEADS LTD --- ENDING DISPUTES ,EMERGING OPPORTUNITIES ....







There was sharp appreciation in the price of gold in past few years.This is mainly due to a shift in asset allocation by individuals and countries in favor of gold at a time of financial turbulence around the glob.This unstoppable increase in gold prices forcing lower class and lower middle class people to look into cheap alternatives for the purpose of making ornaments / jewellery .This is not the trend only in our country but in many other places too.This situation improving the potential of another business – Imitation Jewellery. Beads is an important part of this business.This business is dominated by unorganised sector and there is only one listed company from this space – Banaras Beads which is manufacturing in manufacturing and exporting  glass beads, imitation jewellery and other similar products.Banaras beads came out with an IPO in 1995 with a premium of Rs.75 per share. Thereafter there was some serious disputes between the promoter family members which ends in a series of court cases and intervention of company low board ( CLB).Trading of company’s stock suspended from stock exchanges from 2003 to 2011.During this period company’s growth severely affected  and no dividend distributed.Now company almost  settled the  disputed and cancelled the allocation of about 30 lakhs shares issued to a group of family members according to the direction of CLB. From a turnover of Rs.15 Cr in 2007 company grown to a Rs.35 Cr in 2011-12.Now BBL is planning to tap the opportunities aggressively by expanding its design and production facilities ,finding new export channels ,entering into new territories  ..etc.At present company exporting its products to about 60 countries including USA, Africa, Europe and Arabian countries.Company is now adding another 75000 Sq Ft facility ta Varanasi which is expected to complete in another few months.Recently company launched fashion jewellery items under the brand ‘De-Lemon’  and also launched an online shopping portal for Fashion Jewelery & accessories ( Link below).Even this industry is dominated by un organized players ,company’s like BBL having advantage of most modern designing facilities,adoption of contemporary styles,Image of brand ..etc. .FY 2011-12 was company’s first full year post re-listing .In FY 2011-12 ,BBL reported a sales of Rs.34 Cr , net profit of Rs.4.75 Cr and an EPS of Rs.7.10.Another point to note is its dividend pay out .Last year company declared a dividend of 40 % .On the basis of current market price this  provided  a dividend yield of 10% ( tax free) .I believe this was one of the highest dividend yields last year.We can’t guarantee this will repeat in future but there is possibility for the same since company is expected to complete this FY too with similar level of profit. Since company is running near its full capacity ,performance is expected to improve further  with the functioning of new facilities by next year. End of long dispute at management level will help the company to concentrate in business from hereon and demand scenario for imitation jewellery is expected to pick up further.
                                                     Even this company’s stock listed in both stock exchanges it frequently traded only in BSE .Because of this low liquidity ,it is only suitable for those like  high risk high profit kind bets and not for average risk takers.Invest only a very  small portion of your corpus in these kind bets.BBL is trading at a price close to Rs.40 /-

  2. Dear VP,

    Have you done any study on Ricoh India? I am not talking about their delisiting prospects. I want to know what are your thoughts on its fundamentals. It is reporting strong growth in topline (50%) but with losses. As with many successful MNCs, the losses look suspicious in nature. The co management reported that they are targeting a 1000 crore topline by FY14. I must add that it is a pure trading company. They buy printers and copiers from Ricoh Global and sell them through Ricoh India. Will appreciate any thoughts.

    Thanks!

      This trend is not rare just before open offer in India.We,retail investors are helpless till there is some changes in laws as in the case of US.Many cos independent directors are just rubber stamps.In this case I am not strictly tracking this stock .Since the company importing products from parent , sharp depreciation of rupee value may be a big negative in recent times.

      In India ,majority of promoters treating minority share holder as their enemies after collecting money from them :(

      Nothing is bigger than own conviction.Investors will benefit if the promoters de-merge the QSR business reach a critical size and able to stand on its own feet.

    1. I don't think banking is a complicated business to understand but it is really boring ..

      Concentrate in asset quality ,Capital adequacy, quantum of fee based services,treasury operations,ROE.. etc if other things remaining same.

    Your views on INDO WIND & WATERBASE please. Waterbase management seems good with their moderate expansion plans. Indowind has good business but seems to have very poor management.

  22. Sir,
    You mentioned that value will unlock if QSR business is transferred and run as subsidiary

    My question is will the stock be attractive even though the company doesn't de-merge and retain the business under same umbrella?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. There may be re-rating when the QSR business reaches a critical mass .But ,if at that time tea prices come down,it may not be a good scenario and the co may not get the valuation which is available to pure QSR plays.

  24. Dear Sir, per BSE/NSE latest anoucement on Granules -
    Dr A Bhaskar Krishna has sold 3168 shares worth Rs 5.17 lacs.
    So my question is why the selling witnessed from promoters? is something cooking behind the scens? We all small investors seeking your views on this.
    Pls advise.

    1. He is not a promoter or director but the CEO.Selling quantity is very small compared with the buying by the promoters in past few months.Anyway selling by an insider is a point to note and it is a negative factor if it is not for meeting some personal purpose and quantity is big.Wait and watch any further selling is happening.
