Our Mission for 2015 - 16... to build capabilities for Aluminum & Titanium, metal working for Aerospace Sector, Stainless Steel and Special Steels heavy fabrication. Feasibility study to build capabilities for GI & SGI castings. To achieve this, my message to the Rasandik team is to continue providing quality as a way of life and inculcate an attitude of ‘Do it right the first time and every time’.

Our Vision 2020... to Build Capabilities for Design to manufacture of components and aggregates for to Build for Design to manufacture of components and aggregates for Automotive Sector, Aerospace Industry and to carry out Heavy Fabrication.




  
Rasandik Engineering had taken a 10 Million USD 3%  (45.79Cr) Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds  which matured in April 2009 company has paid 80% of the bonds and 2 million worth (9.158Cr) are unpaid Company has stated that its been provided for in their books. So it could be a case of identity of bond holder or other issue not in control of the company.

Rasandik is reporting losses and does have 117Cr worth of borrowings. and Capital expenditure is also consistently close to 35Cr every year which is quite high for a 225Cr sales company.Could be due to vision of entering into Aluminium/Titanium Welding space and entry into aerospace/defense engineering or the fact that technology is the differentiating factor in the auto component space to survive.

Conclusion: With forcasted lower interest rate regime(I expect the rates to be low going forward for a long time - new trend) companies which have debt in their books and who are well established should be able to take advantage of the lower rates. Already Automobile companies are reporting higher sales number. All said and done @ 30Cr market cap..low equity base.. I'm expecting the management to turnaround the company.Good value buy for the long term investor.

How Are We Doing Diwali 2016

Wishing All Investors. Readers & Visitors A Very Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year...
Let us start with a review of performance of stocks recommended in this blog.

Its been around 7 years since the blog was started.. A total of 30 stocks have been suggested as good investment ideas.10,000 invested in each of the 30 stocks ie 3,00,000/- lakh invested over the 7 years would have been worth 9,64,764.70 (Including dividends) would have given a return of 38.64% per year.
without including dividends the return would have been 36.41%

This is hypothetical case, because there have been rights issued and I have assumed that rights shares have been bought.  Also the total invested days is 2093 days as the stocks were introduced over the period of 7 yrs (2 of them in 2016)

The Recommended Best Buy stocks have turned around in 2016-17 Last year the Best Buy stocks had a 6 yrs absolute return of 50.51%  and this year 7 yrs absolute return is 271.67% an increase of 220% in one year..
In past 1 year
GAEL has increased from 45.20 to 95.4
Jayant Agro has increased from 109.90 to 551.40
NHPC has increased from 17.70 to 26.90
Tata Comm has increased from 431.30 to 634.55

The point being made is its very difficult to know when the stock becomes active and starts to be valued by investors increasing demand and increasing stock price. I also feel management suppport is important and management is in a position to project the right image to investors..

The question is.. is there still value left in these recommended businesses? The answer is yes!! These companies will still continue to perform well and with passage of time the value of their business will grow..

One of the most important things about a business/company is its ability to pay taxes after all expenses are considered. An individual gets a salary.. which is first taxed .. and then we pay for our expenses and finally we save the remaining income.
For example
A company earning 1000 having 500 as expenses  paying 30% tax has following savings
1000 - 500 = 500 which is then Taxed @ 30% (150/-)
Savings : 1000-500-150 = 350.00

An Individual earning 1000 and having 500 as expenses and paying 30% tax has following savings
1000 income is Taxed @ 30% ( 300/- ) & 500 Expense,
Savings = 1000-300-500 = 200.00

As you can see All things equal.. Individual saves 200/- while corporate saves 350/- A corporation can save 75% more than an individual just because in case of corporates you pay taxes  after all expenses are paid.. while in case of an individual you pay taxes before your expenses are paid. (BIG Difference!!)

So one of the important functions of a corporation is the tax benefit and hence corporates have an incentive to invest and grow. Over a period of time the effect of compounding increases the wealth of corporates. Management is always an important factor as they can make or break a corporation.

Outlook: BASEL-III implementation is just being rolled out.. so banks are going to have a tough time growing their books. due to lower leverage than normal.(due to basel -III restrictions) . what is the need of the hour is "excessive printing of paper currencies" and all the central bankers are busy doing it..

Excessive printing is required to replace the lower leverage in the balance sheet of the banks.. now the Goverment balance sheets are expanding... and till the bank leverage stays low we are all good.. the problem will be when the banks return to their old ways and leverage their books.. that is when the problem will start.

India is one of the few countries where the level of leverage in the system is very low. A large portion of the Indian population is still unbanked.. NBFC with no basel-III restrictions can really eat the cake of the banking industry.. and a NBFC owned by a bank would be able to somehow have the best of both worlds..

Tata Power: Hidden Asset: Strategic Engineering Division

Tata Power:
CMP:  78.20
Market Cap:21,150Cr, Free Float: 14,170Cr
Annual March 2016
Sales: 36,700Cr,
PBDIT: 8070.13Cr
Net Profit: 873Cr
Annual Report March 2016
Power is a controlled commodity as its one of the basic necessities of modern life. Govt of India regulations exist such that power companies whether its Coal, Nuclear, Hydro, Solar, Wind, are entitled to a fixed return on their capital which is around 16%.  This results in Power companies leveraging their balance sheet so that during the initial growing years (new capacity addition) the company earnings are always under pressure from the debt repayment as well as depreciation.

Electricity pricing is a very politically sensitive subject and profits of any power company will be questioned for electoral gains.. so please consider this before considering Tata power as an investment destination.






But then what makes Tata Power attractive is its subsidiary " Tata Power Strategic Engineering Division"

http://www.tatapowersed.in/

Centre for Excellence in Strategic Electronics
For close to four decades, The Tata Power Company Limited through its Strategic Engineering Division (Tata Power SED) has been a leading private-sector player in the indigenous Design, Development, Production, Integration, Supply and Life-cycle Support of mission critical Defence Systems of Strategic importance. During this period, the Division has partnered the Ministry of Defence (MoD), the Armed Forces, DPSUs and DRDO in the development & supply of state-of-the-art Systems and emerged as a Prime Contractor to MoD for Indigenous Defence Production when it secured Orders for Pinaka Multi Barrel Rocket Launcher, Akash Army Launcher and Integrated EW System for the Indian Army and for the Akash Air Force Launcher, COTS-based Automatic Data Handling System for Air Defence and Modernisation of Airfield Infrastructure (MAFI) for the Indian Air Force.

Tata Power SED has the unique distinction of participating in Defence Programs through a dedicated R&D Centre at Mumbai and a Production facility along with an R&D Facility at Bengaluru. As a leading domestic player in Strategic Engineering, the Division is now globally recognised for harnessing its “Systems and Engineering” capabilities and has been appraised at Maturity Level 5 of CMMI® for Development v1.3.

================
 The Tata Power Company Limited through its Strategic Engineering Division (Tata Power SED) has consistently harnessed cutting edge technology to fulfill its deep rooted commitment to the Nation.

In 1975, Tata Power SED, originally known as the R&D Division of Tata Electric Companies (TEC R&D), started its foray into the development of systems for Indian Defence. It developed and supplied systems for the Air Defence Ground Equipment System (ADGES) built by Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR). The systems covered Radar PPI displays & Random Scan Displays (with synthetic graphics and text display facility).

Since the mid 80s, Tata Power SED also made a significant contribution to the Integrated Guided Missile Development initiatives of Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam and has to its credit, the development and supply of AKASH Launchers (Army and Air Force versions), Missile Interface Units for AGNI Launcher, On-board Computers and Launcher Electrical Systems for PRITHVI Launcher and a host of other Ground Electronics support systems.

Tata Power SED has now evolved into a Systems Integrator for programs of national importance such as the Pinaka MBRL System, Launchers for the Akash Air Force and Army Programs, Electronic Warfare Program, Command & Control Systems for Air Defence and Naval Combat.

With its sound knowledge of interfacing and integrating Weapon Systems, coupled with its capabilities in the area of Mission Critical Software, Data Fusion, Communications and Large System Integration, Tata Power SED has the multi-disciplinary resources necessary to take the decade old partnership with the Armed Forces into a new dimension in the era of Digital Wars.

Interesting news Item: Tata Power SED to make 16 Akash surface to Air Missile Launchers for 36 Million USD .. it goes on to say that Total order over the next 20 yrs is 3000 Akash Missile launchers for Army and Airforce. (March 2009 News Item)

My take: if you consider the Defence capabilities built in "TataPower SED" I think Tata Power SED will be worth atleast 20,000Cr. Tata Power power assets are also substantial as its the largest Pvt sector power company In India. From the look of it tata Power SED is into Electronic & Communication systems for Indian Defence industry.. and does everything under the sun. For someone who is looking for an above the market returns over the next 5-10 yrs can expect Tata Power to deliver the same. I would say a multibagger with risk reward in favour of investors..

Permanent Magnets: Hidden Gem, Value Buy!!


 http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0309/7625/t/1/assets/logo.png?13420208566542412253





Permanent Magnet  www.pmlindia.com

CMP: 18.8
Market Cap: 16.17Cr
Annual Sales March 2016: 67.7Cr
PBDIT: 3.81Cr
Net Profit: 0.93Cr (93 Lakhs)
EPS: Rs1.08
Debt: Long term: 3.82Cr
Debt Short term: 13.82Cr
Annual Report March 2016

Permanent Magnets Limited is one of the flagship companies of Taparia Group, Mumbai and also one of the leading manufacturers of Alnico Cast Magnets and Yoke Assemblies. It is a front-runner among young, dynamic and growing companies in India.

PML magnets are used extensively in key industry sectors such as electronics, electricity meters, automobile industries, telecommunication, defense, space research, aeronautics, railways and electricity generation.

The technical collaboration started in 1963 with “Centro Magneti Permanenti” (CMP) Italy. In 1973, PML started manufacturing Ferrite magnets. In 1983, PML upgraded technology with help of Dowa Mining (Japan) and Sumitomo (Japan).

PML started manufacturing magnetic assemblies such as Separators, lifting devices, holding devices etc. in 1984. In 1996, PML implemented the ISO 9001:1994 system for the first time. PML has been growing since then in the field of Magnets, Assemblies, Shunts and High Permeability components.

PML is into manufacturing electricity meter components (electro mechanical meters) used in metering systems installed in households. it also manufacturers a large variety of magnetic material equipment for industiral as well as personal use.
With the move worldwide to smart electronic meters (meters which provide additional data such as energy utilization, remote meter reading..) the company had to retool itself to manufacture these smart electronic meter components.
===================
Smart meters consist of digital displays for displaying detailed energy usage,and the cost related to the energy usage. With the detailed energy usage and cost displayed on digital display, the consumers are able to understand and act accordingly to conserve the energy For instance; the consumers adjust their consumption patterns when they discover the amount of power used and the cost of operation of the several appliances.

The major appliances in the home, such as washing machines can be automated with the help of smart meters. This allows such appliances to take various advantages, such as time-of-use tariffs. With the two-way communication offered between intelligent household appliances and meters, the consumers are able to make note of the power being consumed. By two-way communications, energy service provider or utilities are also able to control elements of the consumer’s usage for lowering their bill.
====================
Taparia group is a well established name in "Hand tools market and is a market leader in India" so the management is a well established business group.

PML India intends to address the smart meter market in India and abroad and the management seems to be experienced in this business (as they used to manufacture magnetic components for electro-mechanical electricity meters before.)

Valuation wise due to low profitability it is not yet clear how it will all pan out. But looking at the addressable market and the growing demand and strong promoter background, I expect Permanent magnet valuation to rise further as the firm becomes entrenched in the market, fundamentals improve and the market acknowledges its position.

Fair valuation will be a market cap equal to 1 times sales.  liquidity is very low so one needs to patiently accumulate. Long term value buy, multibagger
