MOLD-TEK PACKAGING -MOVING INTO BIG LEAGUE ?



 
 










   



What is common in stocks like Hawkins India ,Cera Sanitary,Wimplast,Selan Exploration,Manjushree Technopack,RS Software ,TTK Prestige ..etc.The obvious answer from an ordinary retail investor may be – “ All these stocks turned as  multi baggers in past 2-3 years” . But for someone with some academic interest in stocks and spending some time to explore ,it is easy to find out the presence of a common name in the public share holding of all these stocks ie, the name of  Dolly Khanna.

Some high profile individual  investor’s are  equally interested in publicity and hence they are frequently appearing in TV interviews and celebrating their purchases through ‘Bulk Deals’ .But on the other hand  some are interested to hide behind curtain ,media-shy  and buying stocks in bit by bit to avoid any unnecessary publicity and market attention.Dolly Khanna belongs to second category and because of this reason ,frankly speaking I have not much idea about the whereabouts of this investor. But if we go through the history of shares owned by this investor ,it is clear that she/he is an investor with Midas touch and with special blessings to pick future multibaggers at an early stage. Having said ,since this investor buying without any publicity and in small lots it is difficult to get information about her/his activities in any stock at an early stage. But now ,this week let us look into one stock in which she entered only recently or may be still in the process of accumulating .As on latest June quarter share holding Dolly Khanna holding  123010 shares in Mold-Tek .This recommendation is not only due to the entry of this investor but taking into consideration of reasonable valuation based on its fundamentals and its potential.

Mold Tek Packaging

This Hyderabad based company is a market leader in Moulded plastic packaging and commanding close to 25% market share. Company mainly concentrating in manufacturing of Pails(cylindrical type  container) used in industries like Paints,Lubricants,food products..etc.This leakage free,easy to handle, and attractively decorated rigid plastic containers already dominated paint and Lubricant industry and replaced metal containers in these sectors.All major companies in these sectors are customers of Mold-Tek which includes Akzo Nobel,Berger, Kansai Nerolac, Castrol, Indianoil, HPCL,Shell,BP ..etc.In the rigid packaging space itself Mold Tek is the pioneer in  In-mould Labelling technology .This technology is used  for decorating plastic surfaces with color and labels to make it more attractive.As of now company manufacturing various products from its seven manufacturing facilities – 4 units in Andra Pradesh ,one each in Daman,Tamilnadu and Maharastra . Moldtek is the only molding company in the world having  in house mold designing mold making, IML label making and ROBOT making facilities.Company initially imported  robots from Taiwan and later started to build robots in-house for its use .A robot made by the company costs only one third of the cost of an imported robot  and its spped is higher than the imported robots.These robots are used in in-mould labelling (IML) process and by this company eliminates human intervention and contamination.( At least some of you may dreaming  Mold Tek as a commercial robot manufacturer too when there is shortage of workers in India few years down the line  - fine ) 

Company now aggressively tapping emerging opportunities from food and beverages sector . Small size IML decorated containers gaining acceptance in packing ice-creams and jams and company started supplying this products to  Vadilal,Amul and HUL..etc.. Due to attractiveness and easy to handle features more and more items from food segment may opt for this product in future.
 Conclusion

For the past many years ,Mold-Tek packaging was a company reporting decent growth but ignored by the market participants and always trades at  lower price earning multiple.There is no bad mark for the company management so far and they  handsomely rewarding its share holders with decent dividend without interruption.I believe ,entry of a highly successful  investor like Dolly Khanna will really change the image of this company and results in sharp re-rating in the years to come .The only negative point is its slightly higher debt with debt  equity ratio of over 1.3 . If its stock price reaches a decent valuation there is options for debt reduction through diluting some equity to investors at a premium. In FY 2013-14 ,Company reported a turnover of Rs.256 Cr ,net profit of Rs.9 Cr and an EPS of Rs.8  .In recent months company’s stock price appreciated  and it may be  due to overall improvement in small-caps and accumulation by the mentioned investor.But ,still this Rs.256 Cr turn over ,profit making  and dividend paying company is available at a market cap of less than Rs.90 Cr.Considering the potential of Industry,innovation led growth,decent management and possibility of a change in the image of company in market circles due to the entry of proven investor , risk takers may take some exposure in this indirect proxy of consumption theme  it at CMP of Rs.78

  6. I do not deny it is a good stock . But entering in a small cap at its all time highs when broader market pe is 21 is not encouraging . Just think of your recommendation on tcp packaging , it remained at a range of 38-42 for whole three years after your recommendation at 55 . Possibly side effects of modi-euphoria just pushed the stock up three times in 3 months . I admit value investing requires patience .
    Do not consider my views as criticism .
    But i would rather wait at the cost of letting the opportunity escape .
    thanks

    1. I don't know why people always looking into market and saying like " Investing in Market" .I never advice anyone to invest in 'MARKET' at any time. You must look into companies and their businesses rather than the daily index movement . Let Index trade at 2, 20 or 200 PE .we need not bother about that .You mentioned about the spike in TCPL as the 'Mody Effect ' but forget to look into the back ground and realise what has happened in this company's fundamentals during this period . The basic assumption of stock market is - if a company perform continuously today or tomorrow investors will identify it and it will get deserving valuation. I am here only because of this belief and still believing in it .

      If you get a stock at lower valuation ,thats fine. But I will never compare stock fundamentals and business prospects with Index levels.

      Delete
    2. You are absolutely right VP. Only high beta stocks tend to trend with the index. The shares recommend by you are Value Buy stocks with Price to Earnings around or less than 10 and with high growth potential. Your judgement has proven right for long term. All the Best.

      Delete
    3. Broader Markets do play a major role in the movement of small caps . Only because of that a stock like tcp packaging remaining range bound for three years suddenly spurted . Where was the fundamental of the stock for last three years Last time in nov-dec 2010 nifty pe was 25 . your recommendation stocks like onward technology,gei industrial(rec at 170 now at 27). panacea biotec,royal orchid hotel,chembound,international travel house could not flourish .

      retail investor should understand the risk of investing in microcaps as it is tantamount to total erosion of their capital .

    4. I never mentioned all of the stocks recommended by me gained irrespective of its fundamentals. But mentioned any stocks recommended whose fundamentals not worsened since recommendation ultimately rewarded.

  7. Are not such stocks with a single large individual investor at risk for sudden drastic fall whenever the investor exits, leaving others in lurch? Shouldn't one be wary of such stocks?

    1. That depends on the smartness of the investor who exit and the valuation and future prospects of company.It seems Dolly Khanna exited from TTK Prestige few quarters back ,but nothing has happened

    Dolly Khanna has also purchased additional 50, 000 shares in Nilkamal. Good things are expected here as well.

  10. Dear VP,
    Thanks for another multibagger. Since, now u r recommending only 2 stocks monthly, I would appreciate if you start (on other Saturdays) giving your advices / present ratings on your old recommendations. There are lot may near to buy level (say only 20 - 30% profit) and you are still recommending to buy. So that we can try at least your old pick (e.g. HEG, Managalam, V2 retail, etc.).

    You mentioned about the debt being excessive? Are you overly concerned about the high debt OR you are relatively comfortable with it?

  17. dear sir,
    could you recommend stocks which have a circuit limit of 5%. Of late you recommend stocks with 20% limit. On monday people will buy that stock after it has already appreciate 20%. Next day then it will rise only 4-5% because it has already exhausted its potential rise. It happened in MM Forgings, Capital First and Kopran. Your Dion Global was a 5% stock and it nicely went up over 30-40% at a 5% spped daily giving every investor to get in and make some profit.
    So kindly consider this request and recommend more 5% circuit limit stocks.

      Nobody is compelling to buy any particular stocks .None of my stock suggestions are for buying blindly. You should study the companies and decide whether it is suitable to you and upto what price .If if it available below that price otherwise leave it.No meaning in taking circuit filter as a bench mark for stock selection .

  18. Dear VPji

    I can't place orders on some BSE listed stocks which you are recommending. My broker says, for buying T-group shares I need to call their head office and place the order through their terminal. Can you suggest me a good stock broker with reasonable brokerage and services.

    pardon me, since the question is off topic. but according to me, you are the most reliable person to ask this.

    Thanks & Regards

    ReplyDelete
  46. How do you VP and other guys decide on the volume of investment...is it entirely based on your risk profile and/or there are other factors you consider.

    For eg. If I consider my risk profile and my income levels I would only invest about 50-60k per company but not more. However, this way I feel that I miss good opportunities and cannot/would not be able to create a sizeable portfolio despite picking winners. As in I feel that the bottle neck more often than not turns out to be the size of holding.

    Would lie to learn about other ways to increase volume without significantly impactin risk profile or waiting too long to build corpus large enough to increase per transaction holding.

    Thanks in advance for your views and positive comments.
