HINDUSTAN TIN WORKS LTD - POWER PACKED






     

Recently  we discussed two stocks from different verticals in packaging Industry. Polyplex from Polyester film based and Mold Teck Packaging from IML packaging sector . This week let us look into another company from a related sub sector – Metal packaging .Even though plastic packaging is gaining more acceptance ,some products still need metal packaging due to  special characteristic of products to be packed. Chemical reactions, keeping right nutritional / aesthetic values, requirement of extended shelf life ..etc compelling the producers of certain products to prefer metal packaging.This  situation ensures  enough room for metal packaging majors to grow though the chances for new entrants are bleak. At present, metal packaging commanding a 10 % market share of  total consumer packaging market. In this background, let us look into Hindustan Tin Works Ltd which  commanding  20 % of metal packaging market in India. HTWL manufacturing tin/metal cans and closures used in packaging of baby foods, edible oils,paints, ghee, canned food items, fruit pulp,juice,protein powder, shoe polish  etc. Company mastered in Aerosol cans and Beverage Cans . Aerosol cans are mainly used to pack Deodorants, Room Fresheners,Pesticides,paints and industrial products .Beverage cans are used to pack Juices,Flavoured milk and other beverages.Longer shelf life without refrigeration and leakage is an added advantage of beverage cans .Company’s major consumers includes the who is who of FMCG  and Food Industry like GSK consumer, Nestle, Britannia, Del-Monte Foods , Asian Paints,Reebok ..etc.

Company reported a top line of Rs.314 Cr , bottom line of Rs.8.5 Cr and an EPS of Rs.8 in last FY .Current book value of company is over Rs.100.Promoters holding 40 % stake and world’s largest steel trading group Switzerland based Stemcor A G holding another 10 % stake in this company.Now,  management  aggressively tapping emerging  opportunities by developing new products and entering into more overseas markets. The potential of Indian food processing Industry , softening of metal prices,revival of economies and company’s new initiatives are expected to drive the growth momentum forward.This market leading can maker is currently trading with a market cap of less than Rs.70 Cr and a P/E multiple of  8 .Stock is currently trading 30 % discount to its book value of Rs.100 . I believe ,it is one good stock which listed only in BSE and CMP around Rs.70

Disc: It is safe to assume that I have vested interest in HTW

      I don't think there is anything wrong in such asset light business models if they can ensure quality .Even big companies like TTK Prestige ..etc are doing the same to a great extent . By this ,they can effectively utilise their assets for brand building,after sale service and other marketing related activities.The key is -- quality should not be compromised and the supply source should be reliable without any interruption.

    VP Sir, Your stock picking skills are awesome and your help for investor community is at sky level. As a person you are down to earth.
    I invested your recommendations earlier (i.e. before Feb) but these days (except Koran) I am not able to buy because of UCs. I cannot buy stocks before 10:30 AM because I work for a MNC Financial company where I have certain restrictions. By the time I got the required approvals, the stock locked in UC for the day. Same story repeat for a week or so.
    After a week of your recommendation (i.e. after all UCs ) all your picks appreciate minimum 50%to 60% and I am not sure whether to buy them at those levels. But I am happy that so many investors (like me) can get benefit from this blog.
    All the best Sir and all best for our blog readers.

    Thanks
    Venkata

      Euphoria is not good in any case. One should analyse the company in detail and decide upto which rate a stock is worth affodable based on one's risk profile.If the price is beyond that level ,better to skip. This level may be different from paerson to person.

      I am not a big fan of holding companies. We should distinguish Holding companies and Investment companies. Many of the listed holding companies in India are holding the shares of their own group companies. They can't sell these shares because of chance of loosing control. So they will not sell shares and realise profit .Only income is dividend from shares .Here in our country,take over attemps by rivals are very rare .So it it is not attractive even in that way . Otherwise management's of such companies should do value unlocking through de-mergers or so .

    Dear VP Sir,
    I came across your blog recently. Your stock picking abilities are really amazing. Thanks for doing such wonderful service for retail investors like me.
    However, if possible, it will be helpful is you can provide some info on HTW:
    1) The revenue seems to be stagnant at around Rs.300 cr (+- 10%) from FY 2010 till FY 2014. Request you to plz. provide some more details about their focus on emerging markets that will lead to growth in revenue going forward.
    2) D/E is perse not high. However, debt has increased in FY 2014. Is it because of any capacity addition?
    3) Valuation is attractive at P/E of 8. However, is it low because of lower ROE/ROCE and almost stagnant revenue?
    Your views on above points will be helpful.

      In last three years top line improved from Rs.246 Cr to Rs.314 Cr . We should consider the pathetic economic situation worldwide during past few years along with this .Even in such a situation company could report satisfactory numbers . Now I believe , growth will come back going forward and metal price will be steady .Any growth in consumer spending will indirectly help the company.Due to muted demand growth HTWL could not pass increase in cost to its customers in last few years , this may change in future.

      There is not much increase in long term borrowings , total debt level increased only due to increase in short term loan for working capital availed on the personal gurantee of three promoters.

      Contingent liabilities means they are not the actual liabilities but they can become actual lliability for the company at a future date on certain circumstances. Ex: Bank guarantee issued by the bank on behalf of the firm to third party is a contingent liability on bank's balance sheet. But when the firm fails to meet the performance the third party will claim the compensation from the bank and the contingent liability will become actual liability.

    Hi Vp
    I see no pont in giving calls if they are to benefit retail investors. The moment you give a call there are no selleres and hence UC. Then the stock appreciates 40-80% and then it holds very less meaning to get into it..
    Will it be possible for you to give calls randomly without announcing when you are doing that...
    I beleive this willl lead to graduall buying and selling which is good for everyone unless you want it to move in UC's only....
    Hope this gets published
