I know ,many of you may raise eyebrows
for recommending a loss making company this time.As a contrarian bet I am
taking one such company -TIL Ltd – for genuine
investors.I believe if the poor performance of any company is only due to a temporary demand slackness in that particular industry ,such situations should
be used to enter in quality companies from such sectors. Proper time of entry and depth of
patience will help to make robust return in such cases. As you are aware
,overall engineering industry in India is going through a rough patch due to
lower capex for the past few years.Delay
in various approvals by government authorities for larger projects ,higher
interest rate ..etc are the main reason for this scenario.I feel ,we are almost
at the bottom of a poor capex cycle and it is the time to acquire quality
companies from this sector and wait with patience to reap the benefits in
medium to long term.TIL is a Kolkata based company manufacturing and
distributing engineering equipments for sectors like material handling ,mining,construction,earth
moving ..etc. TIL along with its subsidiaries operating in four divisions –
1)
Material
Handling ( Mobile Cranes,Tower Cranes,Container Handler,Forklift..etc)
2)
Equipment
and Project Solution (Hot Mix Plants,HD Drills, Crushing and Screening
Solutions ..etc
3)
Construction
and Mining Equipments (Excavators,Off-highway
trucks,Loaders..etc
4)
Power
System Solutions ( Diesel Generators with various capacities)
The above product profile clearly
indicating company’s presence in each and every important segments of
infrastructure development.
Company is also serving as the dealer for
Caterpillar products for north and east India and Bhutan through its subsidiary Tractors India Private Ltd.During the past few quarters
company came through serious challenges mainly due to poor demand in
power systems and construction divisions on account of delay in various infrastructure projects in
roads, power and mining space. For FY 2010-11 company reported a top line of Rs.1380 Cr , net profit of Rs.60 Cr and an EPS of Rs.60 /- .In FY 2011-12 profit declined substantially to Rs.15 Cr and again in subsequent quarters of FY 13 TIL reported losses . As a
reflection of this bad financials its share price nosedives from a high of
Rs.750 level to current level of sub Rs.200. I believe ,government will now initiate some steps to improve the momentum of
the economy including aggressive capex plans by PSU companies.Since there is
not much distance to the next parliament election ,chances are there for a speedy
approval of projects which delayed in past many months or years.Altogether I
strongly feel this is the time to buy quality companies from sectors which may
directly benefited by an improved capex
cycle.TIL is one such company operating in many of these verticals and recommending it for investors with enough patience which is now trading even below its book value of Rs.270/-.This stock is listed both in NSE and BSE and trading at CMP of Rs. 205 /-

Sir,
ReplyDeleteOne request from your reader, you also mention "I feels" but its not that but its "I feel" .
Also I feel TIL is is in bad shape and needs to reduce their debt.
Youc pick Aditya Birla is not running. Any reasons you can point at will be be helpful.
Thanks
John P
Dear Mr John
DeleteThanks for pointing my mistake of an extra 's' somewhere .I am not a master in English and only very limited knowledge in this language.So there my be many spelling and grammar mistakes.But I think you got the point what I mean by that sentence.So please bear with for the rest.
On the second point ,I can express only my opinion and each and every reader have freedom to agree or disagree with the mentioned points .Invest if and only if you have conviction - money is yours,profit/loss is only for you.About its debt ,I don't think company's debt is high compared with the size of company and feel all these negatives are reflecting in its current share price .
Aditya Birla chem not completed even just 2 months after recommendation.I don't think there is any meaning in expecting a price rise in this short period .
I wasn't aware of being grammatically correct on expressing financial intelligence :)
Delete@ John P,Some of your mistakes
Delete1. You also mention -> You have written or you have mentioned.
2. TIL is is -> TIL is.
3. Youc pick -> Your pick.
4. Will be be -> Will be.
@Anonymous good work :)

On the basis of assets owned many hotel companies are trading at attractive valuation .But when a re rating is possible is the main question.
Deletehello sir, I would like to know buying KAVERI SEEDS COMPANY still makes sense since it has gone up to 1350.. One more question sir, since PE of this scrip is 16 is it relatively cheap?... Kindly guide me sir..
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU...
I have recommended this stock around Rs.270
Deletehttp://value-picks.blogspot.in/2010/07/kaveri-seed-company-future-perfect.html
which now gained multi fold in last two years .Recently they started the commercial production from their olericulture project named as KEXVEG (Kaveri Exotic Vegetables). Company is now developing many new paddy varieties too.For a high risk taker I CAN'T say a strict 'NO' even at current price.

DeleteThank you for good recommendations for small investors. can your give me your opinion to buy for long term on vulcan engineers, rossell india and umang dairies. Thanks for your help.
ReplyDeleteVulcan and Rossell is fir for investors with long term view and not suitable for those looking at the trading screen day by day .Not tracking Umang Dairies.
DeleteHi Value pick jee,
ReplyDeleteThe pick, Rossell India is exiting considering the businesses it is in and the nescent stage it is at. We are also hearing nice developments regularly. My only doubt, that count not get clarified with the available information is the strategic investment in Nigeria having interests in YUMS brands in Nigeria. The YUMS brands license for Nigeria IS HELD BY Devyani International Ltd. How Rossell India Ltd is comming into picture is not crear. The AR 2012 does not give any details in the Management Analysis, no details of such company in Investments of Rossell India. However the website claims strategic investments. I am missing something,can you please through some light on this aspect.
Thank u very much
Even if I am not tracking this stock in recent times as far as my understanding company divested its minority stake both in Yum brand Franchise ( Nigeria) and Lemon Tree Hotels in India and decided to concentrate in developing Kebab Xpress business in India.

Dear VP sir,
ReplyDeleteThis might be the weird comment you end up reading, but it's worth a crore for me....
I want to know what factors (parameters in company's results) do you consider in picking a stock.
I am interested in this, because i am constructing an excel extracting all the values from companies result sheets.
Naming the parameters would really help me out in putting them into my query and extracting data out of it.
It would be great if you can just let me know the parameters and conditions at first go.... (i hope this dicussion goes on in future tooo).
For eg. If i feel only Book Value should be considered to pick a stock and the condition is
Book Value > Current Price...
If you can just brief me out the parameters you check and the conditions i would be really really thankful to you sir.
Thanks a lot in advance,
Sunil.
Dear Sunil
DeleteIf you need a one sentence answer ,It is the future growth of company which will decide our gain in stock market .Our Success depends on how accurately we can foresee it now.Past or present data can be used to analyse and take a decision how much risk is involved in an entry at current price level but in my opinion it can't be used as a short cut to calculate what gain we can make in the future.
