Hello Sir,

Hope you are doing well.

Recently, I came across a stock by the name of Magna Electro Castings. The last 5-6 years numbers of the company looked good and the valuations reasonable.

The company is engaged in the manufacturing of ductile and grey iron castings in the weight range of 300 grams to maximum of 2000 kilograms.

Below, we have shared notes from the Jan'23 CARE credit report of the company. Hope you find the details useful in your search of investment opportunities.

 

Before that, a few days back we released our New Stock Recommendation for Alpha and Alpha + Members 

It's a minerals processing company, largest in its segment, has captive raw material sources, grown PAT by ~300% in the last few years, de-leveraging balance sheet, 2nd generation promoters and available at around ~7 times post-tax earnings
