It is evident from the listing of this company in BSE SME
that the current size of operations are small.But company established a good
frame work in past few years and now it need to capitalise on that.It established
a good infrastructure even though many of them are on a lease basis due to
scarcity of working capital.Now the money raised through this IPO is proposed
to be utilised mainly for working capital requirements. Even the size is small
RJB is reporting steady growth since the beginning,which reported a CAGR of 78%
in Sales from 2007-2008 to 2011-2012 and a CAGR of 110% in net profit in the
same period. Its sales grow from mere Rs.90 lakhs in 2008 to Rs.16 Cr in 2012
and net profit shot up from Rs.1 lakhs to Rs.55 lakhs. Even its cash flow is
negative at present,I hope it can be addressed if the promoters can show more professionalism
going forward.
The potential of Seed Industry is robust in India .Any company needs
minimum 4-5 years to commercialise a new variety of seed from R&D level
after going through long experiments,assessment and approval from various government
authorities ..etc.On this background company’s portfolio of 55 type hybrid
seeds in 8 field crops and 16 vegetable crops is not a small thing.As I
mentioned earlier If the promoters can capitalise the infrastructure they built
and tap the potential of the Industry ,RJ Biotech may bring good reap to its
investors.Stock is currently trading in BSE ( Scrip Code- 536456) under MT
group .As per new listing norms ,stock will come out of trade to trade segment after the completion of 10 trading sessions
.Current Market price is Rs.23

their is no volume in rjbio,and what is your view on deccan gold,acrysil India?
ReplyDeleteThere should be a market maker for any SME scrip for the first three years.
DeleteNot positive on Deccan Gold
Positive on Acrysil
THis will be another camson biotech, useless pick ! we all thought camson also had unlimited potential, now see what happened, kaveri also not going up despite superb monsoon
ReplyDeleteIssue of Camson Biotech is suspicious accounting practices
DeleteIn case of Kaveri seed ,I am not sure what kind of return you are expecting from stock market ? .KSCL given 350% return in last two years .For the first six months of this year itself (from last year's closing rate) it already returned 15% at CMP and more than 30% at YH rate !!
Hello VP,
ReplyDeleteNilkamal Ltd. - The qrtly results are good and June qrtr was better than Mar Qrtr results yet the price has gone down quite a lot. Any other reason? I could not find any reason like IT raid or pledging.
Its falling topline is the real concern
DeleteHi VP
ReplyDeleteWas 'Not positive' a casual remark on Deccan Gold Mines based on your old understanding or you have seen all the recent developments around it. ML is in the last stage of approval, GMSI is proposed to be taken over and off late this counter has hit few Upper cicuits and ruling near its 52 weeks high
regards
SN
If everything is so bright why the promoters of Deccan Gold is reducing their own stake in each and every quarter even at this cheap market cap ?
DeleteHi VP
DeleteI pulled out last 4 years promoter's holding data and here it is
June2010: 2,68,68,281
June2011: 2,60,41,218
June2012: 2,56,00,757
June2014: 2,53,01,023
So in last 4 years promoter's holding is down from 2.68 Cr to 2.53 Cr shares. Is that a significant change to have a doubt on promoter's intent especially knowing that Rama mines (promoter's group) is actually a consortium of people/funds. In such a consortium it's possible that few funds take investment off the table in a SIP mode. I don't want to challenge your judgement but simply want to understand if this factor is significant enough to overlook some of the positives around this counter. Some of the developments esp those which relates to the government authorities can't be faked, for ex. ML application to ministry of mines whose status currently on MoM site is "Under process with MoM". The land acquision for the Ganjaur site is also for real. With due respect to your knack of spotting gems, I want to hear once again from you if you still hold the same opinion that DGML should be avoided.
Regards
SN
Dear sir,
ReplyDeleteIs this the right time to accumulate Yes Bank?
For the past few months stock is showing extreme volatility ,use only SIP mode .
DeleteSir, was not able to buy RJ bio-tech in the T2T segment. Any idea why happens? My order was in the pending mode and expired after 3:30pm. Please advise.
ReplyDeleteThere was no sellers in this stock for the past few days ,T2T is not the reason.It will come out of T group after the completion of 10 trading days post listing as per the new rule.
DeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteWhat is your current view on Orient bell. I remember you had recommended bell ceramics a few months back. Since then the stock must have fallen 50%. I want to know if there is any change in the view and if it is still buy and hold in your books.
Thanks,
No change in the view on Orient bell as a company.But the entire sector not supported by rate cuts as expected earlier .
DeleteDear vp sir, on ur reco, I had bought ashapura at 42.6 and later added more on ur repeat recp, but sir its continuously falling !! Now what shall I do ? Any negative news ? Hold/add or sell ?
ReplyDeleteplz guide me, as I have invested heavily on ur repeat reco at 39 level
Don't buy any share only due to my recommendation .Buy it only you have conviction in the company.Still I believe nothing has happened in Ashapura and it become more attractive due to rupee depreciation since its majority of Income coming from export.
DeleteSir,
ReplyDeleteyour long time follower and query on Heritage foods.
You see value in Heritage foods at current levels? I remember you mentioned of it being in 4 digits some time back. It had already reached 500+ levels and after bonus available at 200.
Currently the company comissioned a new solar plant which will save energy.
Regards
Due to Heritage's political connection .Stock may show volatility in next 6-9 months.
DeleteHi Sir, Whats your view on Technofab Engg at CMP ?
ReplyDeleteTechnofab included in periodic call which may affect its valuation.
DeleteDear VP,
ReplyDeleteWhat is your view on Kale now? Thanks to your foresight, it has appreciated sharply in the last one year but is it still a good buy at the present levels? Also, your view on Heritage and La Oppala (for someone who hasn't invested in these companies and would like to buy fresh equity). Thank you so much!
As you know entry price is the main factor deciding gains in stock market.Kale appreciated from the recommended level of Rs.126 to Rs.640 ,laopala from Rs.76 to 480 ..etc. So for an average risk taker an entryat current level may be bit risky though we can't rule out further upside.
DeleteDear Sir, is it good time to enter into "Schneider Electric" @cmp 58?
ReplyDeletePls advise. You recomended this long teme back, so what's your current opinion?
- Amit Toala
the entire sector is going through some bad times. No need to hurry if you haven't a very long term view.
DeleteDear vp sir,

Deletewockhardt is down 20% since u recommended, is it a stronger buy now, or avoid ?
ReplyDeleteWockhardt not recommended, but explained the current situation.Decision depends on your risk profile.
