Dear Sir,
When markets go through a tumultuous period, it’s important to have some stocks whose movements are not so much correlated to the overall movement of the market and sometimes we find such stocks in Special situation opportunities (SSOs).
SSOs constitute opportunities arising out of corporate actions like de-merger, buy-back, de-listing, merger, rights issue, etc. The purpose of SSOs is to park the surplus funds (normally deployed in liquid/short term debt funds) at much better rate of return with seemingly low risk.
If carefully chosen, SSOs offer decent margin of safety with relatively shorter holding period of 3-6 months. Of course, our major focus remains on investment opportunities for long-term.
So, recently we released our New Special situation opportunity for all our Alpha +/Alpha + & Model portfolio members and would like to share with you details on the same.
Based on our estimates we see the downside risk as low and decent probability of gains over the next 3-4 months. Last time we participated in such an opportunity resulted in 30% gain in 2 months.
You can subscribe to Alpha +/Alpha + and Model Portfolio for participating in the latest Special situation opportunity. Please register HERE
Some salient points about the opportunity are as below:
The company under consideration is a part of a very large multi-national company. The Parent company is more than 20 times the size of the listed Indian company and we therefore believe that even if the buy-out price is slightly on the higher side, it won’t matter much for the parent company.
What is another good point about this buy-out is that it is voluntary and if the promoters wanted they could have avoided it; however, they have still gone ahead with the buy-out, which indicates that their intent is very strong and they don’t want to engage in the hassle of remaining listed and incur time, energy and money on the compliance cost.
As the stock prices have corrected substantially from their peaks, the promoters have chosen a very good period for buy-out.
Based on the details shared by the management and the trading price for the last few days, the base price is only around 19% lower than our initiation price which again limits the downside risk.
In the past, in similar such opportunities promoters have bought out shares at substantial premium to the base price (in some cases, even at 100% premium to the base price).
Overall, at around current price we believe the risk-reward ratio is in favour of the shareholders and have therefore initiated the opportunity for Alpha + and Alpha + & Model portfolio members.
