NILKAMAL LTD - REPEAT



  

Nilkamal and Wimplast are two companies I recommended earlier on same day.( Old Link HERE ) Recommended price was Rs.202 for Wimplast and Rs.264 for Nilkamal.But now ,Wimplast turned as a 4 bagger which is currently trading above Rs.800 where Nilkamal is still around the recommended price. This week let us look into the reasons for this under performance by Nilkamal which is almost 10 times bigger than Wimplast by turnover.

                                                                             The brand ‘ Nilkamal’ is familiar to everyone and it is the world’s largest  moulded furniture maker and Asia's largest plastic processor.Company operating through five different divisions viz – Moulded Furniture,Material Handling,Mattress,@home, and Home ideas.Its manufacturing facilities are strategically located at each zones of our country .Company own seven factories in India and one in Sri Lanka. Under the moulded furniture division ,company manufacturing plastic moulded chairs , sofas ,ready to assemble furniture ..etc .Its material handling division selling crates, pallets, Pallet Trucks ,Stackers, Forklifts ..etc. Company is the market leader in each of these products.
    


    

 What  went against managements expectation was the performance of @home division.This division comprises 19 large format retail stores with an average size of 16,000 sq.ft. per store.Even after spending close to Rs.100 Cr for this division ,performance of this division was not up to the mark for a long time.Performance of this division affected company’s over all profitability and its share price.Now management took a decision to control spending for this division and concentrate in other core businesses.It is planning to spend Rs.50 Cr to start two manufacturing facilities for mattresses in next three years.At present company owns two  mattress manufacturing facilities located at Bangalore and Kolkatta . Management is confident to achieve over Rs.100 Cr turnover from this division alone in this financial year (2014-14) itself. Mattress division is comparatively high margin one for the company .After a long wait , company’s @home division also came to profitability in previous financial year (2013-14) .In all other divisions company having enough capacity and hence not expecting substantial spending for capacity addition in near future . This situation will help the company to improve its cash flow and debt reduction going forward. Nilkamal Bito Storage Systems  ( Link HERE) , the joint venture company with BITO Langertechnic of Germany also reported profit in latest FY .Combro Nilkamal Pvt Ltd is another joint venture with US based Cambro Manufacturing Company ( Company Profile HERE)  .This joint venture company is operating in the field of commercial food service & hospitality segment which also reported good performance in FY 2013-14 

 

All together ,this is the changing time in Nilkamal with management’s prudent decisions.Promoters holding about 63 % stake in this company and not a single share pledged..Company reported substantial improvement in its profitability in latest March quarter. For the full year ,Company reported a consolidated top line of Rs.1752 Cr and a net profit of Rs 48 Cr . EPS for the year is Rs.32 .Company also declared a dividend of Rs.4 per share . Company’s book value is close to Rs.300 and currently trading even below this @ Rs.288. Considering the steps taken by the management in recent times to improve its performance ,recommending this stock again as a BUY for long term investors.Stock is suitable to include even in the core mid cap portfolio . Stock listed in both exchanges.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. No change in my previous views on Nitco . These type potential turnaround stories may mint money ,but patience to wait for long term is the key for success in such stories.99 % investors are looking on share price movement from the next day of purchasing such stocks and start to ask ' why it is not moving even when many other stocks are moving ?'. These type cases are not suitable for such investors.

  16. You have recommended Adani Power on Tuesday, March 23, 2010 when it was at 114. I had invested at that time based on your recommendation as a long term basis. I have been holding this stock even it was down by more than half of your recommended price. In this changed political environment, what is your advice on this script? Thank you.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. There is no meaning in sticking on any stocks if the situations which decide its fundamentals are changing.After recommending Adani power few years back the coal price scenario changed drastically and hence I requested to avoid the same . Now a new govt in place and everyone expecting some positive changes in favor of power sector .But if there is no formula to fix tariff based on production cost power generation companies may not gain as expected . So, better to wait and watch what changes the new government is going to implement.

    1. Dear Jitendra

      My stock recommendations are not based on volume /price movement but mainly depends on the expected business growth and current worth. So please don't misunderstand them as "TIPS" which are mainly for making quick bucks ( whether making money in such tips is another question) with the support of punters or operators .If I believe the long term prospects of a stock is limited within few circuits ,I never recommend such stocks , but I can't insist only long term investors should buy the stocks I am recommending.This is market and investors are different kind ,if investors with short term view entered in that stock, they may sell after holding it only for few days and a correction set in . But I believe wealth creation will happen only by sticking on quality stocks for long term.

  20. Hi,

    I am a beginner in trading. These days power sector stocks are moving up(Orient green, Suzlon, jiaprakash). When I looked into their balance sheet all of them are in big loss and they are continuously losing money, have high debt but still they are moving up. There is a sentiment in the market that new government will do something in power and infra but still I am not able to convince myself.Please share your knowledge which will be helpful for me.

    Also you had written that you are tracking Yes bank what would be your suggestion for this now coz its already at 563.
