Artson Eng...it is still a buy..........even at Rs 91.40/-...

Friends,
I have been recommending Artson Eng at mmb and at some other Forum and Yahoo Gr..from Rs 22-23…
The takeover of the management of Artson Eng by Tata Project was there since long and it was already announced at bse site since long….I was tracking this co since then and was bullish from there onwards and hence gave a buy call at mmb and other places very very early…..People used to ask me that promoters stake is less around 16% and that is a negative but I was banking on Tata's takeover…more over Artson Eng was run by technocrats who has working experinace with L&T in their early years after completing educations and that was another bullish factor I noted in Artson Eng..
Well, today I read an article in DNAindia and after reading that I am of the opinion that Artson Eng is still a buy at this level of Rs 91…. Tata Project a sister concern of Tata Power having already orders worth Rs 900 cr in hand and bidding for $2 bn,means Rs 8000 cr contract , where Artson Eng will be also a partner , seems that Artson Eng is still a buy at this level…Artson Eng is now on a high growth path...
It seems to me that local MF's will take stake at over Rs 200 and FII's will take stake at over Rs 300 which I have already written somewhere else…..
Artson Eng
Code:522134
cmp:91.40
Now I am pasting here what I read at dnaindia:
MUMBAI: In the midst of making a couple of billion order bids for global businesses, this acquisition may seem puny but strategic in comparison for the Tata group.
Tata Projects, a closely held company from the Tata group, is acquiring a majority stake in Artson Engineering, a company which is coming out of the BIFR fold.
The investment in Artson will enable Tata Projects to make its presence felt in the hyper segment of engineering, procurement and construction activity within the greenfield power, petroleum, petrochemicals and fertilisers space.
“We are yet to receive the BIFR order. The moment it comes, we’ll inform the stock exchanges,” an Artson official said declining to give more details on the Tata Projects investment. The order is expected in a fortnight, a source said.
“It’s a win-win situation,” the source added. Artson has two veteran project managers at the helm.
N K Jagasia, chairman and managing director and P S Chopde, director, who have promoted Artson.
Between the two, Jagasia and Chopde have over 30 years’ experience in the field. They had resigned from Hindustan Petroleum to promote Artson. One of the conditions in the agreement between Tata Projects and Artson, sources said, is that the two would continue to lead the company.
Further lending credence to the impending strategic-tie-up, Artson and Tata Projects are said to be already working together in Fujairah, UAE, for ENOC, a leading oil company in the Emirates.
The Tatas are themselves in the midst of developing several big-ticket projects in the power and steel sectors. However, they have given their subsidiaries a free hand in scouting for new projects, to make them globally competitive.
Artson has experience in the oil & gas, power, fertilisers and food processing sectors. At the time of the establishment in 1978, the refineries were using Bombay High Crude, which gave a waxy product called Low Sulphur Heavy Stock (LSHS) as residual fuel oil.
LSHS had very high pour point. Artson did pioneering work and developed systems to convert the existing fuel firing systems of industry to make it suitable to use LSHS.
Artson has successfully commissioned, on a turnkey basis, more than hundred such fuel systems in the country. This led to AEL being one of the foremost companies in the country, specialising in petroleum storage and handling systems. This expertise was then expanded and AEL executed overseas projects.
Artson went on developing its capabilities in multi disciplinary construction for the Hydrocarbon Process Industry and is one of the leading design, engineering, procurement and construction companies with a sound manufacturing base.
Tata Projects is also an EPC company with operations in power generation, transmission and distribution, industrial infrastructure, oil, gas and hydrocarbons, and quality services.

  4. Hi Raima,
    It is really really sad to know that you sold all Artson Eng in Monday's panic..
    I have always written that sell only half the stock and hold the rest FREE...that advice I have always given at mmb...
    The reason for adviceing that is ,I know my stocks are multibaggers,as I know how is the company and how it will grow.
    Never never sell , 100% in any of my stocks, keep even 10-20% ..sometimes they give multiple returns even after a year or two..
    Hope you buy again Artson as early as possible..buy even 100-200....again
    Regards,
    Rajeev

  12. Rajubhai after todays announcement what is your view on Artson Eng...


    Reduction of face value to 1 Rs.
    That means scrip has to trade at 129 Rs post reduction, to preserve our capital (as our no of shares will remain same.
    Suppose we are holding 100 share post capital reduction also we will be holding 100 shares only.

    Do you think Artson to trade at 129 Rs with face value as 1 Rs and equity as 12 cr (post equity placement of 2.76 cr shares to Tata Project.

    And if trades at 129 Rs its market cap will be 1550 cr. Pls correct me if I am going wrong somewhere.

  13. Dear Sir,

    The writing off of the losses is fine.
    But reducing the par value from 10 to 1, are the company looking at making the shares trade at cheaper prices...maybe then offer a buyback of shares at cheaper prices...

    doesn't it mean we should hold on for a longer time horizon?

    kindly guide us.

    regards

  14. Dear Rajat,

    Your calculation can be corrected in this way---present number of total shares 9230000 + 27690000 shares to Tata Project= toatal shares post issue 36920000 multiply by 129 = 4762680000
    ie 476.27 crores ,correct if I am wrong.You erred in calculating the present capital at 9.23 crore which will stand reduced to 92.3 lakhs with reduction in face value to Rs.1. NINA

  18. fundamental of artson is good if u hold for an year u will get atleast 50% profit. but it was better if u would have switched to movementum stock two days before, like ispat,rpl,rnrl,reli energyetc. u would have recovered. Like me i heavily bought allied computer then i sold it and switch to ispat at same price share now i am about to recover within three days. Take ur own decesion this just sharing of knowlege.

  19. Dear Ahmed,
    Thanks for your encouraging words.Even i had that idea (To buy ttml or ispat or ifci or reliance naturals) but before two days, i saw in NDTV , all Midcaps might fall again and its better to stay away from it. So thats why i didnt get into those stocks :(

  20. Hi Ariff,
    If you have getin Artson at 110, no need to worry.
    It will be back to normal but may take time to come back to 110 and cross it even.
    Ariff,when readers like you writes such things, I gets disturbed.It becomes then my personal responsibility to take you our from that counter without any loss...
    That puts lots of pressure on me as all knows that thhis is not PMS(Portfolio Managenmenet services) nor this is my whole time business nor I take any call and tell others to buy the stock I recomend here, before I write it here nor do I buy any stocks before I write and try to get ST profit as I have seen usually the stock I recomend goes up immidiately.
    But have never done that in my life.
    But I again request all memebers that please do not write me at what price you have bought and don't ask me that it is going down and now what I have to do with this stock.
    Going UP and DOWN is part of stock this game and if one is not able to digest then please do not come in stock market to invest....
    I strictly tell to everyone...
    "PLEASE DO NOT COME TO STOCK MARKET WITH THE MONEY YOU NEED FOR 12 TO 24 MONTHS.....ONLY INVEST THAT MONEY IF YOU DO NOT NEED FOR 12-24 MONTHS.it may happen that you may have to wait even longer then that hence you should be able to remain invested as if you have bought KISAN VIKAS PATRA OR NATIONAL SAVINGS CERTIFICATE...

  23. Hi Ahmed,
    Till Feb 7, Artson is in no trading because of capital reduction.
    check out the BSE notices around jan 30 or so.

  24. Dear all,
    I received the certificate of artson today but the share is not listed yet.Script is still suspended. also in certificate it is mention that face value is reduced from 10 to 1 RS but number of share remains the same i didn't understand it if they reduced the face value from 10 to 1 they should also have to give 1:10 shares otherwise share holder will be totally in loss.

    So what u people think
