CANFIN HOMES - BUY







Canfin Homes is the housing finance arm of Canara bank .Company’s major concentration is in south India especially Bangalore .Till 2012 company’s growth was very slow ,but from 2012 onwards management turned aggressive in expanding branch network.Company opened 17 new branches in 2012-13 FY alone and the total branches are 69 now.This number is very important when we consider the fact that ,for the past 25 years ( 1987 to 2012 ) company started just 52 branches only. Company concentrating in retail loan ,and  percentage of corporate loan is very low . About  95 per cent of the advances  given to  employed  people and the average loan size is  Rs. 15 lakh.This help the company to keep a very good asset quality where its Gross NPA is below 1 % and net NPA is Zero.Company is expected to report a CAGR of 40-45% in disbursements  for  FY12-14.Company’s net interest margin is one of the best in the industry. Since company reported a boring growth rate for past many years ,investors does not consider Canfin as a serious player in this sector and ignored this stock till now.But if the recent efforts by the management is any indication for their future plans ,there is very good chance for a sharp re- rating in coming years.Company’s stock is currently trading around Rs.145 where its book value will be close to Rs.185 by the year end .Company is an uninterrupted dividend payer which declared 30 % in last FY.Canfin Homes reported a profit of Rs.43 Cr and an EPS of Rs.21 in FY 2012. Company is expected to report an EPS of Rs.33 and Rs.40 each in FY 14 and FY 15 .At current market of Rs.145 even low risk investors can consider this stock with a long term view.

    1. Not strictly tracking Singer.Not seeing much prospects for its sewing machine business going forward.Success depends on the scalability of household appliances business but that too may not be easy considering the prevailing competition .

  15. VP Sir,

    Great pick. The only question or discomfort i have with Can Fin home is that it had a pretty stagnant Sales for last 4 years. Do we have any idea if new branches will be opened consistently for next 3 or 4 or 10 years?i mean what should could be considered a good assumption about growth for next 5 years.

    1. Explanation by the company as follows :

      Panacea officials said the company applied to the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) in 2008 to extend the shelf life of the vaccine from 24 months to 36 months after extensive tests. "The tests showed the vaccine had the stability required," a Panacea official said. "The vaccines were tested at the Central Research Institute, Kasauli. CDSCO gave the company permission to extend the vaccine's shelf life on September 10, 2010."

      "The medicines should be stored at temperatures between 2oC and 8oC," he said. "We would have had to remove the vials from refrigeration to remove the old labels. This could have led to contamination."

    1. Dear Vishal

      As you are aware,retail investors participation in small and mid caps investment is comparatively higher than the participation of institutional investors in this segment .But many of them are not familiar with this method .So this system may take much more time to get an acceptability among them and we can't predict when it will happen.
