CMP .Rs.114/-
Healthcare is considered as one of the sectors India having huge potential in coming years..Hospital services is a major part of this industry.But the number of listed players in this sector is limited.Kovai Medical Centre and Hospital (KMCH) is one of the good listed companies from this space.This Coimbatore based 800 bed multispeciality hospital having all most modern facilities including Open heart surgeries ,Kidney transplants, Knee replacements, Hip replacements , Complex Neuro surgeries Angiograms, Angioplasties, Stenting ,fallopian tube recanalisation, Chemotherapy, Blood component therapy, Arthroscopic surgeries, Laparoscopic and Thorocoscopic surgeries,Emergency-Trauma Care Center... etc KMCH is located in a 20 acre facility close to coimbatore airport and also having three satellite hospitals - two at Erode and one at Ram nagar.KMCH recently started the facility of E-Bus (Endo Bronchial Ultra Sound) which is very effective for identifying lung cancer in an early stage. It is one of the very few hospitals in this region with this facility. KMCH is now expanding its service to pediatric , and eye segment and this facilities will commence operations in few months. In recent times KMCH is very aggressive in bringing new technologies ,most modern facilities and new departments to its fold. Company is spending an amount of Rs.200 Cr for this expansion programme.Growth for KMCH will come in two ways .One through the addition of more facilities and departments at the existing hospitals and the other is through the starting of new satellite centers in other places.For the quarter ended June 2011 ,KMCH posted a turnover of Rs.51 Cr v/s Rs.31 Cr and a net profit of Rs.2.43 Cr v/s Rs.81 Lacs. As an indication of the confidence of promoters, they are steadily hiking their stake in last few quarters through open market purchases.At CMP of Rs.114/- , it is a good long term bet for a healthy portfolio.
HI!VP,
ReplyDeleteLAKSHMI ELECTRICAL CONTROL SYSTEMS POSTED 11 EPS FOR 1ST QUARTER.IS IT NOT GOOD BUY AT CMP?YOUR COMMENT PLEASE.
HI ValuePick,
ReplyDeleteLooking into the balance sheet, Kovai has too much of debt. Networth is 50.75 cr (reserve of 39.81 cr) whereas it has debt of 192.25 cr.
Even though its expanding its business, high interest outgo will eat up the bottom line. This is already visible in FY10 and FY11 comparison wherein topline grew from 130.41 cr to 174.96cr, but bottomline remain stagnant from 11.59 cr to 12.10 cr because of interest payment of 11.11 cr in FY11.
Do u still find value in KMCH which is highly leveraged ??

ReplyDeleteStock market is always valuing a company not only based on what it is or what it was but mainly on what it will be.So , considering the chances of some slowdown in capital goods industry and order booking , coming quarters may not robust .But if we get stocks at a price even after discounting these situations ,that should be a BUY.

ReplyDeleteGenerally , In any business at the time of building infrastructure there will be some debt.Whether the company can service the debt using the future cash flow or not is the main point to note.I think they can manage it
Dear Rangnath
ReplyDeleteResult of Tasty bite was bit disappointing.But I don't think US slowdown is a major problem.Company posted its highest profit at the time of the recent biggest recession in US ,ie,in 2009-10 period.More than this, price rise of vegetables ,shipment cost and exchange ratio fluctuations are the major problems .Now company already doubled its RTS capacity and doubling the FFP capacity which will completed by the year end and meant for the local market . Even if there may be some pain left in short - medium term , long term investors with some risk appetite may hold it.Company is now paying much attention in local market too through FFP.
