Dear Sir,

Stock market is peculiar…sometimes it is too exuberant and offers an asset worth Rs 100 at Rs 120-150 and sometimes it becomes too despondent and offers the same asset worth Rs 100 at Rs 40-60.

Our returns on investments are therefore determined by when we buy the stock: at 40-50 when the market is depressed or 120-150 when the market is elated.

Fortunately for us, the small and mid-cap stocks are in depressed state and a lot of good companies worth 100 are available at 40-50-60 odd levels i.e. really low valuations. What is another good point is that with stable government in place for next 5 years, investor’s confidence is getting restored and small and mid-cap stocks should start outperforming.

Recently, we found one such opportunity wherein a very good asset worth more than Rs 1000 crore is selling at Rs 370 crore in the market. In our view that’s hugely undervalued and we have shared a detailed report with our premium members. The new recommendation is also part of our Model portfolio of stocks.

Its during times like these one sows the seeds of multibagger opportunities in one’s portfolio and we are glad to have identified an investment opportunity which is available at dirt cheap valuations and can deliver 25% + annualized return (with re-rating) over the next 3-4 years.

As on date, we like several points about the company and they are as below:

Expected upturn in cycle – We see the company as a cyclical business and therefore in the case of cyclical businesses it becomes important to buy them when the valuations are actually low and not optically low.

Similarly, if one is able to buy a cyclical stock during low business cycle, then the probability of buying a cyclical stock at high valuation goes down further.

As far as the company is concerned, the last two years were not been so good for the industry with higher input costs and companies finding it difficult to pass on the prices on account of lower capacity utilization.

However, it seems that cycle is turning around as the demand has been improving, utilization rates are improving and the end prices have also started rising.

Debt Free – Even in a cyclical industry, there are efficient capital allocators and we like such companies because when the good times return, they capitalize on the opportunities better.

The company under consideration is debt free with decent free cash flows and has some surplus capacity available to participate in the growth cycle. It has also started trading in goods through its existing distributor network and that could deliver operating leverage for the company.

Cyclically low valuations – As mentioned above, based on peer comparison and industry estimates, the replacement cost of the assets of the company is Rs 1000 crore +; however, the stock is currently available at only around Rs 370 crore.

We have done a peer comparison in our report and as per the same the valuations of the company are the lowest in the industry and this despite the fact that it is backwardly integrated (good assets), debt free and has been growing year on year.

We believe, as the good times return (there are already signs of the same), the stock could end up delivering 25% + annualized return (with re-rating) over the next 3-4 years.
