PATELS AIRTEMP (INDIA) LTD - REPEAT



 


Quality of promoter is very important while selecting stocks for long term hold.Possibility of frauds and fabricated results are very high when the mood in the street is bullish with higher retail participation.Generally , in a bull market , promoters tend to show good results in few quarters to boost share price either for their own exit or to raise fund at higher price .So ,selecting a stock during bull phase need extreme care and we should look beyond the published results and frequent announcements. Considering all these factors ,re-looking into a company which I recommended earlier and still believe there is lot of steam left in long term.

                                   Patels Airtemp (PAT)  is an Ahmedabad based company manufacturing Heat exchangers,Pressure Vessels,Refrigeration and Air Conditioning equipments.Their products are mainly used in industries like Chemical, Power,Refinery,Cement,Fertilizer and Petro Chemicals..etc.For the past many years lot of projects from these sectors were stuck due to various reasons like environment clearance ..etc which is expected to move on in near future. Strict pollution control norms implementing in developed countries helping Indian chemicals manufactures to boost their export by adding additional capacities here.India is expected to grow as a global hub of chemicals and pharmaceuticals in the years to come. Stable price of crude and crude derivatives will help the growth of petrochemical industry . All such developments will indirectly help companies like Patels Airtemp to grow business. Last year company  entered into a long term supply arrangements with a leading global manufacturer of heat exchangers for supply of this product with stringent quality standards.

                                    Revival in user industries and effect of foreign supply agreement is already started to reflect in its order book position. As on 31 March 2014 , company have confirmed orders worth Rs.136 Cr ( Rs.40 Cr order book in previous year) which is highest ever in its history . This order book giving comfortable visibility for next few years. Aggressive purchasing of shares by promoters from open market is another factor which  increasing the confidence level .For the past one years promoters are hiking their stake through open market purchases and same is still continuing  even @ Rs.129 .( Check purchase disclosures   HERE and HERE) .Last year company paid back its entire long term debt and there is no long term borrowings in its books as on 31 March 2014.We know , the past 2-3 years were very difficult for any company operating in capital goods sector . But company paid back all its long term loans and secured the highest ever order book during this period, which is very important point to note. I believe ,company is at the tip of an inflection point and the future will be far better than the past . Since I have already posted about this company just six months back , not explaining further.

                                             Company reported a top-line of Rs.70 Cr , net profit of Rs.4.67 Cr and an EPS of Rs. 9.20 in last FY .PAT is an uninterrupted dividend payer for the past seven years and paid 20 % in FY 2013-14. This is one of my preferred stocks from this sector which is currently trading around Rs.123 and listed only in BSE.

  8. Hi Sir, Is it a turnaround company? Mar '10 sales are around 70 cr and Mar '14 sales are same 70 crs... No growth from past 4 years...

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I never used the word 'Turnaround' ,because it never reported loss.

      It is very easy to ignore its flat sales, but one should understant the situation of industry for past 4-5 years in which this company is operating . You will get a clear picture by comparing the financials of its close rival GEI Industrial Systems with this company

      For me , company could report even a flat sale in last few years itself is big positive considering the situation of Industry and I clearly mentioned this suggestion is based on the expected future and not on the past.

    Replies
    1. There is some structural changes happening in the business model of Micro Irrigation companies in India.Eralier customers need to pay only the subsidy minus amount to companies for implementing projects .Due to delay in subsidy payment many of the players stopped this method and now the clients should pay the full amount and then clients itself should collect subsidy from government. Till farmers familiarise with and accepting this method there will be some slow growth phase through which many of the companies are passing now.

  25. Respected SIr,

    Can I buisy Lao Pala at CMP.I know u had recommended it earlier and went all the way to 1668 but since the stock split has happened it chas came down.
    Also Is Capital First still a buy at CMP

    lease please do reply

    1. Dear

      Laopala is a decent company with good brand , operating cash flow, declining debt level ..etc...etc.

      This stock originally recommended around Rs.70 before stock split which means it already appreciated more than 20 times (adjusted to stock split) . So while buying a stock at this much price difference you should be aware about the difference in risk level at both these price points and decide whether your situation is suitable to bear the same and only then act accordingly.

  34. Earlier you suggested Asian Grantine and NOW saying not tracking Aro Granito & not bullish on Indian Granite Industry; what a misleading person.!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Dear

    Before criticizing anyone , we should ensure we are 100 % correct.Otherwise it is better to keep silent. I never suggested any company named Asian Granite but suggested one company named Asian Granito which is a known producer of different kind of Tiles. It is not a Granite Company and more than 90 % income coming from Tiles.


    Granite is an Industry without any branding power as against Tiles and hence there is hardly any entry barrier .

    In addition to that till there is a concrete law regarding natural resources mining including Coal, Granite ..etc , there is some risk from that angle is also there .

    Above all , If I am correct granite industry is going through tough time in past many years and there is no big change happened now ( You will get an idea from the below Link)

    http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/andhra-pradesh/andhra-pradesh-granite-industry-in-dire-straits/article5231347.ece


    For the past few days there is lot of messages about this specific company from many or single 'Anonymous' , but I could not find anything special in a company especially from an Operating Cash flow negative one. If anybody know any interesting development or policy announcement positively affecting this industry is going to happen ,please comment here which will be helpful for others too.

  43. Hi Sir,
    With an order book of worth 130+ cr the future looks bright but a company executing 40 cr worth order suddenly have to handle 3 times of it, raises few question marks .... (considering that the order delivery is this fiscal year )
    1. So they have the capacity in the current system to implement it on time.
    2. Or do they need to raise more funds in order to create a system which can support it.

    Having a good order book but not able to execute it or take loans in order to expand the current production facility can be a issue in this case ? Please share your views .

    Do you track Man Industries. Very similar in profile, (as it appears to me) with good orders in hand. Regular dividend paying, decent promoters (cannot vouch) have execution capacity and capability. They are also buying from the open market 5% allowed. Due to the space they are in, the stock has fallen quite a bit. Debt to equity of 0.6.
    Would you suggest the stock?
