EXCEL INDUSTRIES - STRONG PRESENT ,BRIGHT FUTURE



     
Excel  Industries is a group company of Excel Cropcare Ltd . Selecting this stocks at this point of time mainly on three reasons- improving business prospects of its existing specialty chemical segment,foray into Pharma Intermediates and the vast potential of its non core Enviro-Biotech Division. Company own three production facilities one each at Roha ,Lote  Parshuram( Ratnagiri Dt Maharastra) and Ahmedabad.
                                                                          Under the specialty chemicals division ,company manufacturing Phosphorous Derivatives,Agro Chemical Intermediaries, Mining Chemicals..etc. Under the pharma intermediates division  ,till now company was mainly in Veterinary API’s but recently set up a new facility for human API’s at its existing Lote site .Products from this new facility is high margin products and expected to drive company’s NPM from current level once the commercial production reaches full swing. The most exciting part is its Enviro Biotech Division .

Enviro Biotech Division -  A High Potential Business

  

  
This division  may be termed as ‘an idea before its time ‘ .But I believe ,its time is just coming and the potential is very vast.Under the Enviro Biotechh division ,EIL is manufacturing  Centralised waste management plants and Organic Waste Converters .Excel is one of the two top waste treatment plant manufactures in India .Actually managing waste is the biggest challenge of any city administration.Many Indian cities are far behind in cleanliness and effective treatment of wastes compared with foreign cities .This creating lot of health related issues on one side and act as a reason for preventing development of various sectors including tourism ..etc on the other side. We all are aware about the importance and seriousness of this issue and hence I am not writing too much on this.



EIL manufacturing  different types of organic waste converters suitable to treat different volume. Size and model of machine is varied based on the volume to be treated .These machines are suitable for Housing societies, markets, Food processing companies, Slaughter houses,Hospitals,Malls..etc.Using this converter, organic wastes like  kitchen waste, garden waste, food processing waste etc are converted into compost. With the help of strong R&D ,company introduced its most modern fully automated waste converter ‘Bioneer’ in Indian market.This machine is capable to convert waste into compost in just 24 hours. Company already recorded more than 1000 successful installations of its WC’s at various locations.Bioneer is suitable to handle 100 Kg to 400 kg waste per day.If these machines are targeted individual of group customers ,the larger version of this system is the Centralized Waste treatments plants suitable for treating Municipal Solid Wastes upto 500 tons per day.More than 10 such plants already installed in India and Excel supplied one such plant to Solid Waste Recycling Ltd  a company formed to handle waste recycling in Mauritius.Compost manufactured in this facility is distributed by Mauritius Co-operative Agricultural Federation (MCAF) and Roger Fayd’herbe Ltd, all over the Mauritius .In India , Excel’s prestigious CWM Plant established in Ahmadabad and working on a PPP model .( Details HERE  and HERE ) This is considered as one of the most successful waste treatment arrangement established anywhere in India .Bio fertilizer manufactured from this facility is marketed under ‘CELRICH’ brand through its group company Excel Cropcare Ltd.

Financials

For the financial year 2013-14 ,company reported a top line of Rs.417 Cr , net profit of Rs.18 Cr and an EPS of Rs.16.50. Company also declared a dividend of 75 % on FV Rs.5 shares.

Conclusion
Even though I emphasized on the non core – Waste Converter business – above ,please don’t misread Excel as a Waste Converter company. Its core business is chemical related itself .Only close to  5 % of total income came from WC Machine  business in last FY but it reported a growth of  about 50 % compared with previous year. Waste Converter business is at nascent stage and this concept itself is just gaining momentum in India .New government’s initiatives especially Prime Minister’s  personal interest in clean city concept is expected to give a new lease of life for this industry . Government already announced its intention to develop 100 smart cities and waste management will be a crucial and inevitable part of this cities . Being a company successfully handling such a system in PM’s own state ( Centralised waste treatment plant at Ahmedabad) he will be well aware about its possibilities and it will give an extra bias to Excel. Arranging waste treatment facilities at own cost may be a compulsory pre condition for permission for building flats,housing colonies ..etc in all cities in future. This will be an eventuality and there is no other options .Such a situation will create better opportunities for Excel’s non core business and the potential is immense.
                                                            If we look into its core chemical business,the chemical cycle is started to looking up and prices are improving. Company is a prominent player in Mining chemicals and any steps to avoid the uncertainty in mining sector by the new government will naturally increase the demand for Excel’s products.In pharma related space,company recently set up a new API facility and gain from this unit will also start to flow in near future . Company is an established player in  agrochemical and water treatment chemical business and potential of the same is also robust. Company possessing a strong R&D wing for both divisions . As per available information, company’s  R&D division for waste related business is actively working on ' Energy from Plastic waste'  and  'Fuel from Plastic waste' concepts and gained substantial improvement .

Management quality of Company is top most and they are very investor friendly . Since company's chemical business is established and very strong  there is no question of uncertainty even if the WC business needs time to pick up.In nut shell – Excel Industries is a company with good core business ,high potential non core business led by highly professional and ethical management . This stock having many ingredients to become a multi bagger in future .Stock listed in NSE and BSE ( Scrip Code -500650 ) and trading around Rs.127

I have been following your blog for the past few months it is a real good experience. I am very much new to stock markets. Lost bit of money in stocks following stock tips and speculating on my own.

  7. sir i want to know why you always post on saturdays and not on any working day . bcoz it leads to circuit opening on monday and for whole next consecutive week , therefore we are unable to buy any shares . I request you to please post on any weekday instead of weekend . so that we can also buy these shares .

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. How will it help you on weekday, I don't get it. Circuit will be there on weekdays as well.

      Delete
    2. Before criticizing on this matter one should check my old postings till 2011 . It was always on weekdays . At that time many readers mentioned ,they are not getting a chance to study the company before buying it and forced to jump into it and later realised the mentioned stock was not suitable for their risk profile .At that time they repeatedly suggested to stop posting on weekdays and post only on weekends .I also believe that is the right method and changed it from 2012 .

      I believe ,you are not loosing anything due to non purchase of a stock but your loss is only notional .At the same time If you purchase a stock which is not suitable to your risk profile and expectation that may result in real loss .

      More than that ,if I post it on a particular time on a trading day the same effect may happen and if I post it on different times each week my readers will forced to check the blog each and every minute.

      I started this blog mainly to help the retail investors to take an informed decision before purchasing any stock .If you are planning to jump into a stock on the very next moment of seeing the name , there is no meaning for all my efforts and continuing writing this blog.

  10. hi ,
    VP, I agree with you !
    Posting on weekends provide me my own bit of time to investigate the recommendation rather than plunging into it without much background. Since my bread & butter is not from it I can never compete with ppl running their show on this LOB. So this definitely allow me to take a more informed decision than doing it blindfolded.
    Also The recommendation you provide are long term so a circuit of 4-5 days where the stock price may increase by 20-25 % don't bother me, in fact it makes me more confident. One more thing which come out of this is there are not only retail investors keeping an eagle eye on VP recommendations but institutional investors as well (making a stock to circuit is definitely not a retail investors piece of cake)

    Thanks ..

    1. Company's CDR package was linked with some asset sales . But due to poor market conditions this process could not complete and company now seeking some changes in this package. As part of CDR ,promoters recently brought more than Rs.55 Cr by way of preferential issue. I still believe it is worth taking risk on Nitco if we have enough patience.

  40. Hi value investor, first a sincere thanks for your efforts and analysis. In a world where even water bottle costs so much you ate providing valuable analysis for free. So really really commendable. Thanks once again.

    Regarding this particular stock, its hitting lower circuits everyday. You think it's a really worrying signal given its a very small company. And given the situation what would you advice now.
