Excel Crop Care Ltd.........cmp..132......


Friends,
This is one co which I have recomended at 115 ,2-3 months back.It is a United Phosphorus gr co.
Excel Crop has a Mcap of 145 cr and sales turnover is 713 cr.The eps of last year was 25 and the Forex loss was at the tune of 18 cr.So if we add that amt the eps was as good as almost 40.
According to me this is a steal at this price where one gets into a very well managed gr co and also a very ambitious and responsible gr.
To my view ExcelCorp can give multiple returns from hereon.Even if we go by eps and p/e then it should easily touch 400 and on Mcap it can be 5-6 times from here...These are all forward looking statement and I reserve my right to be wrong.


Excel Crop Care Ltd.........

  2. Dear rajeev ji

    I agree with you that it is fundamentally a very strong stock with reserves of 140 crores and book value of 143 Rs. per share but my only concern is that market doesn't give high PE to this sector(generally 6-7) On what basis this stock will get rerated.

  3. Amit,
    One or other time sector gets rerated.

    It is 16-17. But we also need to take into consideration that UPhos is a market leader, I am not denying the fact that this stock can be a good story but how visible the growth is, Anyways I have been tracking this stock for quiet some time but never got convinced to buy but yesterday I bought some, any idea why the promoter holding is so less.

  5. Dear Amit,
    Buying and selling is totally under ones perview.I just write my view.Promoters stake low etc is taken in account by whom wants to buy.United Phosphorus has also low promo stake.....it is always not counted.........Buy or sell is on all one discretion.....
    I am actually not here to convince anybody that BUY THIS STOCK....

  7. Dear Rajeev Ji,
    You already gave the call of excel crop when it is near 110. On taht day I hear the speech from Pranab Mukerjee that they are telling institutional investor to invest in agri sector.I immediately buy it for long term.
    Rajeev ji what is your view on JPT securities , it is on your suggestion I looked into it and I found that it is nikhil ghandhi group company, who is the promotor of SKIL , Pipav shipyard and their is some story in this stock.

  8. Thincktank,
    See these are stories.Any stock when u buy which is in Cash gr, they are most probably,growing co.There are plans and growth but no guarentee that they will prosper.
    So always keep in mind that Cash gr stocks are still to grow and the management can fail in their attempt.

    I appreciate your point and its solely the investor's decision to take a buy or not. I do feel that you are doing a good job by providing stories with actual fundamental basis. May you get more blessings from small investors like us.Anything which can be a lifetime opportunity in next five years (One stock that can change whole life). Can you suggest something like that if not stock than a sector.

  11. Hi Rajeev,
    If you track VST Industries, need your opinion.Its the Hyderabad based cigarrette company which has CHARMINAR brand. Its total debt free company with no advertising costs and good fundamentals. I personally dont like ITC, as it as diworsified (as Peter Lynch says) into FMCG sector where it faces tough competition.
    Please spare some time and suggest.
    Regards.

  21. dear rajeevbhai whats ur view on MARG now.

  22. hi Rajeev

    Hv been offlate reading your blogs and already fallen in love with them and ofcourse you.

    I feel it would be a great idea if emphasis is given on numbers that the company is expected to come out with in next 2 /3/5 years as well alongwith the research.

    This would make the recomendations more stronger.

    btw Where's the market headed. any idea when a correction is in the offing?

  23. Kiran,
    If you have gone through my old posting , I think just couple of week or a week back , then I have written that forget big correction of say 3000-4000 points.1000-1500 points is always there but not 3000-4000 points.
    I have already predicted in Jan/Mar and even before that,that we can even see 21k crossing by Dec 2009 and may even see 31k by Dec 2010.I think both have a very high probability of getting achieved...........
    The take here is buy which one feel is still having great valuation.
    I am going to give a try to write stocks which still have potential to give great returns....am not sure when I will be able to do....
    But try to get a hint from what I write in reply....they are worth taking note of....when I use to write at mmb I use to write same thing...try to get hint(buy recomendation)from my reply....
    Let me write it again, I only write when I feel like writing. I don't write just for the sake of writing.
    Moreover when I write here I know many followers are eager to read what I write and hence I have certain responsibilty which I have to fulfill....and when one writes he needs to be in mood to write something....something should pop up in ones mind then only one can write otherwise, it becomes Bakwas...
    Remember to read each and every line of what I write.Try to read the finer lines what I am trying to convey.....

    Shall we take position in this stock or wait for some correction to happen and then enter at 100 levels.

    Amit

    ReplyDelete
  25. Amit,
    It is difficult for me to say that.It all depends upon you.You needs to decide when u wants to buy.
    But I think , coming back to 100 level or below that chances are very low.....
