Mercator lines

CMP: 45.9
Recommendation: Buy

Hi, have been a bit busy lately so am writing this blog after a really long time ..... Although was not out of the market..... Traded in stocks like Venky's and Idea which have had a terrific run in the past few days.

One stock which people could have in their long term portfolio is Mercator lines. The stock is currently trading at Rs 45.9 and the stock is close to its 52 week low of Rs 42.45. The P/B of the stock is 0.98 and the PE is at an extremely high at 170.

The reserves are at a rock solid 1070 cr. Gearing ratio is at 1.29 which is good for shipping industry.

The company has 60% of the business coming from long term contracts and is eyeing some more with the Indian power industries.

F11 EPS could be any where between 12-13 hence a 5*EPS would keep the stock priced at Rs 60-65.

The Q1 results are getting announced tomorrow, however, one needs to be invested over a larger horizon.

Can turn out to be a multi bagger.

Hanung Toys

CMP: 77.3
Recommendation: Buy

Hanung toys is my most recent pick. It is the only Indian company in the stuffed toys segment and exports stuffed toys to retail chains. Apart from toys it is a leading manufacturers and exporters of home furnishing. Hanung has the license for Walt Disney characters in India.

The company has a Book value of Rs 123.76 which is way below the CMP of 77.3.
The F09 revenues grew by almost 30% to Rs 637 crores. The company has an EBIDTA of 16% and PAT margin at 10.39%. The EPS is at 24.88 and the PE stands at close to 3. The company has a healthy order book of close to Rs. 1200 crores and has clients like Walmart, Metro, lifestyle. The Stock has a 52 week high of Rs 201. At a price of Rs 77 the stock looks to be undervalued and can easily command a PE of 5 valuing the stock at Rs 120.

Sensex continues its rollercoaster ride

The Sensex does not seem to let down its rollercoaster ride which it has been witnessing since the past 4 days. Backed by positive global cues the markets the Sensex soared 215 points to close at 14840, Nifty closed at 4529, up an odd 80 points.

Oil & gas, technology, power and realty were the sectors which saw handsome gains.
Suzlon was up 16.2% post its revised payment schedule to Martifer for stake in REpower. In the realty space Unitech was up 15.7% and in the metal space Tata Steel was the major gainer, up 8.4% after lenders agreed to reset covenants.

Today, however was a gloomy day for the US auto sector as GM filed for bankruptcy. The company lost $82 billion and had spent $13.4 billion taxpayer money. Filing for chapter 11 was the natural course of action to wipe out the $46.5 billion of debt GM had at the end of 2008. The reaction of the market was unlike to the Lehman bankruptcy which had painted the wprld markets red. The news was already factored in and hence failed to deter the world markets which surged backed by strengthening commodity prices.

GDP numbers propel SENSEX

Defying expectation the stock market rose yesterday backed by, above expectations GDP numbers. The GDP registered a growth rate of 5.8% in the last quarter of FY’09 much lower than the previous year’s growth rate of 8.6% in the same quarter. The real GDP grew at 6.7% which was on the higher end of the 6.5%-6.7% growth projection given by the RBI in its monetary policy for the year 2009-10. The effect was felt in the stock market which saw the Sensex climb up 329 points to end up at 14,625, Nifty was up 111 points to close at 4448.

The very evident good sign from the GDP numbers is that the Government spending as a percentage contribution to the GDP has increased considerably over the last year. The government expenditure as a percentage to the GDP for the Q3 and Q4 stood at 13.1% and 14.3% for the FY’09 whereas it was 8.7% and 12% for the same period in FY’08.
The overall spending of the government stood at 11.6% of the GDP for the FY’09 compared to 10.1% for FY’08. These are clearly good signs as the Keynesian model points out that in case of a depression the Government should increase its consumption to give a boost to the manufacturing sector. Although there was a contraction in the manufacturing output by 1.4% but things would have been worse if the government spending had subsided. Another encouraging factor seems to be the rate of gross capital formation which showed an increase to 34.8% from last year’s figure of 34%.

There are clear signs signaling an economic recovery and a GDP growth rate between 5.5-6% for FY’10 is clearly on the cards, but let’s sits back with our fingers crossed and the hope that the economy still has some more pleasant surprises up its sleeves.

Bharti Airtel



One of my picks include Bharti Airtel. Though the stock has rallied from the level of Rs 580 a couple of months back but the stock still looks good at the current levels of Rs 770. The stock has experienced some beating in the last few sessions because the final result of the discussion between Bharti and MTN is not out yet. Bharti has made a bold move of moving out of the Indian subcontinent by acquiring a stake in MTN. The MTN deal and the deal with Manchester United all signal towards the company going global. The company has crossed 100 million subscribers this month and the current price offered by Bharti for MTN seems to be lucrative. MTN has operation in 21 countries across Africa and Middle East and would help Bharti consolidate its footing in these markets. Fundamentally the stock seems very attractive from the long term perspective.
