Last few years were very tough for OFC manufacturers both
locally and globally.In India ,year long unhealthy competition eroded the
financial health of many user companies which forced them to postpone their
telecom infrastructure expansion programs .On the other side prolonged recessionary situation in
developed countries adversely affected Indian OFC makers’ efforts to tide over the
difficult situation through export.Lot of consolidation happened in this
industry and now only the fittest is surviving.After a long period ,signs of
recovery is visible in this industry.In our country National Optical Fibre
Cable Network( NOFN) project will be a big boon for OFC makers.NOFN is an ambitious
project of India goverment to provide broadband connectivity to over two lakh Gram Panchayats at a cost of Rs.20,000 crore .
A special purpose vehicle -Bharat Broadband Network Ltd (BBNL) - was created for
the execution of this project. BBNL has divided the project into 6 packages-
East, West, North, South, Central and Northeast , and this project is scheduled
to be completed by September 2015. But like the case of any other government
projects ,it already delayed and only recently orders for supplying cables
and equipments started to issue to various companies. I think it is a huge
opportunity for Indian OFC manufacturers and will be an additional push along
with the over all revival in industry. Suggesting two low priced stocks from
this sector in this week .
Aksh Optifibre
Aksh Optifire is a leading OFC maker from India with two
manufacturing facilities ,one each at Bhiwadi and Sikar in Rajastan.Company is
a major exporter of OFC and earning more than 70 % income from exports
.Recently company awarded an order for supplying OFC worth Rs.200 Cr under the
NOFN projects .For the first half ended in September 2013 ,Aksh reported a top
line of Rs 122 Cr and a net profit of Rs.11.5 Cr .Promoters are continuously
buying shares from open market in recent times and stock is currently trading
around Rs.15

performance in first nine months of this
FY where it reported a Sales of Rs.189 Cr ( Rs.89 Cr ) and a profit of Rs.11 Cr

Along with NOFN ,some other major initiatives which will aid
the growth of this industry is at various stages of planning and
implementation.A project for connecting all locations of our armed forces
points through OFC is expected to kick start in near future.Private sector
players are keen to tap new opportunities

Very Interesting ! u pick about 50 comapnies per year as multibegger?
ReplyDeleteWhere I mentioned every company will become multi bagger ?
DeleteSir,
DeleteThanks for your wonderful recommendations.I bought ard 500 shares of Liberty around 150.Although the result was good but becuase of very high expectation from the company,the market reacted in a negative manner.
1.My question is ,can I average it out at the current market price.Do u still feel that going forward it can maintain its promise of delivering good set of numbers and rewarding shareholders with good wealth and dividend.
2.Can I add acrysil india at the current market price?
3.What is your view on PI Industries.
Would really appreciate if you can answer these questions.
Thanks in advance.
Liberty shoes recommended twice at Rs.95 and again @ Rs.112 which is currently trading around Rs.120 ,but you bought it @ Rs.150 .Entry price is very important in any investment .In case of Liberty Shoes ,I believe ,it came down mainly on account of delivery selling by a single person from the promoter group and I think it is nearing completion by now .
DeleteAcrysil recommended at lower level and it is a HOLD at CMP

Sir, appreciate ur efforts, I request all the followers do their homework before buying any stocks, its not fair to comment u, and that too u r giving ur ideas free of cost, others who charge huge amount did not worth of. Need ur advice on Shalimar Paints (results not good) for 2-3 years, also invester Dolly Khanna increasing her stake......thanks (Nikitha from Hyderabad)
ReplyDeleteMany readers are thinking company is going to end only because of a single bad result.In this challenging business environment some factors are beyond even the management's efforts .Such things will revive when the economy pick up .As you mentioned above Dolly Khanna increasing stake in a company which reported bad result .Prudent investors always keeping long term view on cos and take temporary set backs as opportunities where many of our readers have only one week or maximum one month view on all stocks and expecting a multibagger over night.Thats the difference.
DeleteSir, I don't see Dolly Khanna's shareholding in Shalimar Paints for Dec 2013 shareholding pattern. Am I missing something (if she holds investment in some other name)?
DeleteSorry ,Since I am not tracking that stock I didn't cross checked it and just replied to the query as a general case.
Delete@ Nikita: Could you please let us know from where you found out that dolly khanna has stack in shalimar. I am a cloner and this information affects me. Thanks.

DeletePls. Suggest on shirpur gold. I am holding it from last two years.
ReplyDeleteDue to the change in gold and gold ore import duty of government on account of increasing deficit ,all related stocks beaten down in past one year or so. Govt is expected to allow some relaxations once the burden eases ,then only company can improve its business.
DeleteHello Sir,
ReplyDeleteI need your suggestion in Paushak ltd. I hold 1000 shares of Paushak @230. Q3 results were very disappointing. Post results it is closing on Lower circuits. Should i buy more at lower price to get my avg. price down. I do trust this company and business as it is part of alembic group. I sincerely request you to please advise on the strategy for Paushak Ltd post Q3 results. Thanks. Sandeep
There was some high expectation about its third quarter result which didn't materialized ,but still company already reported more sales and profit in these 9 months compared with last full year.I don't think there is any need of panic.
DeleteDear Vp what's your call on Pvr after recent huge correction, as the company has two big movie releases in the month of February. Moreover they plan to add 20 more screens in March to the already 60 screens opened this year. This will take their screen count to 428 in about 42 cities. PVR has plans of opening 80 more screens next year.

Stock once recommended around Rs.200 which hits a high of Rs.388 and later came down .Stock gained post declaration of 3 quarter result .Better to enter after a consolidation.
DeleteVP,

ReplyDeleteI've been holding it for almost an year. (5000 shares).

Sir,
ReplyDeleteBirla Ericsson optical is at 34 now...Can I enter at this price? ...Thank you...
Dear Sir,
ReplyDeleteOptical fiber market is going to boom now after stable gov has come up.
According to u which one is better choice Aksh Optifibre , Finolex Cables and Birla Ericsson Opticals
Or you recommend some other stock in this sector.
Dear Sir
ReplyDeleteAfter following your post, I was thinking of entering Aksh Optifibre as it looked the best bet but I noticed that its promoters have recently reduced their stake from 34.4% to 33.9% (From September 14 to December 14). Although not material, the interesting point is that it has been done at a price of 15 per share even thought he company has reported stellar numbers for the last 2 quarters. Just wanted to know if you had any views o the development.
Thanks
Sachit
It is one point we should keep an eye . Let us wait and see whether this trend is continuing or selling by promoter is over , and only then take a decision
DeleteSir, for Birla Ericsson both Mar 15 quarter and FY 14-15 has not been good. Operating margin also seems to be fluctuating every quarter. What is your view sir.
ReplyDeleteAksh has paid dividend in 2014 but none in 2015.
ReplyDeleteThe board has announced expansion plans to increase capacity by 80%. The stock is at a 3 year low.
Based on the above facts is there a change in your opinion? Thanks
Respected Sir,
ReplyDeleteLong ago almost 2.5 years ... You had started this article and by your great experience and far sightedness you had said time is ripe for this fiber optic industry...
And looks like on ground level things are going as what you had predicted
Though for this many years nothing much changed for the price of Aksh ... Suddenly it has spurred with huge volumes and given a breakout of multi year on Technical terms ..
And on the fundamental side it looks like fiber optic cable now have even more great demand after this Jio launch and many initiatives by government too for smart city and e-governance... And even the quarterly results have improved for Aksh and also FCCB issue is been sorted out as per company annual reports ...
Your view and guidance will be highly appreciated.... Looking forward to your reply
Regards,
