EQUITY IS 10.48 CRORES AND AT AROUND CMP OF 124, MARKET CAP CLOSE TO 130 CRORES

POSITIVES;

Long standing relationships with clients.  The knowledge of their clients helps them to conceptualize and convey the contents which the clients want from them

Good R&D team and POD concepts would provide them edge.

They provide concept, and print solutions at same place. The content process outsourcing seems to have good potential going forward.

Reasonably attractive valuations, available at a PE of around 8.3

NEGATIVES;

Volatility in raw material prices like paper could dampen prospects

Since exports contribute major chunk of business, currency risk exists.

Ipo of the company was in Nov 05 and it was priced at 165.

  2. Hitesh,
    I question I also tend to follow your style of investing in unfashionable but stocks which are undervalued at the moment.But when to get out of this stocks. My question is applicable in cases like Patels airtemp where the stock price shoots up like anything but still appear holding a reasonable value. When we tend to start to believe that the stock is beginning to reflect its true potential it drops down 20 or 30%.Is the best way to get out of this stocks once you get a 50 or 100% return and then wait for some correction. But then our buying price for the stock (in absolute terms)is going up every time we are buying and selling the stock.So how do you play this.

    Regards,

  3. HI,
    There are different approaches by different people to investing. I usually book partial profits in the companies I own after a sharp run up and keep a predetermined quantity for longer term so that the acquisition price for the rest comes down. When to sell usually is on basis of technicals or sometimes observing some froth building up in a stock.

  4. The undervalued, out of favour stocks gives better returns but since they are less researched & not recommended by many, we need to book partial profits once it gives decent returns. Hitesh is expert in doing that.

  5. What could be trigger for further growth? Any other moats except long standing relationships which can be quite fortress to draw down.What about other cheap competition?

  6. The biggest moat is capacities in place with the operational surat facility. Economies of scale will now help the company face cheap competition. Plus some other aspects like POD would also be triggers going forward.
