Dear Members,
We have released 26th Jul’23 – Canfin Homes coverage closure update. For other updates, please refer the following link – https://katalystwealth.com/category/latest-updates/
Date: 26th Jul’23
Canfin Homes (NSE – CANFINHOME) – May’13 Alpha stock
CMP – 771.10 (BSE); 770.75 (NSE)
Rating – Negative and Coverage closure; this is not an investment advice (refer rating interpretation)
Source: BSEINDIA
Canfin Homes stock recommendation was initiated in May’13 around 30 odd levels.
Yesterday, 25th Jul’23, the company intimated the exchanges about fraud committed by employees of Ambala branch of the company.
The employees transferred the funds to different personal bank accounts by misusing the cheque signing authority given.
As per the management, the estimated amount involved is around Rs 38.53 crore.
The company has lodged the FIR and will write off the entire amount in Q2 FY 24 quarterly results.
Prior to this, in May’22, the company found out about fraud in 37 accounts worth Rs 3.9 crore.
We believe, this time the quantum of fraud is substantially large and raises concerns about the checks and systems in place at the company.
Further, the stock has also risen quite sharply in the last few months and currently trades around 2.7 times its book value.
Over the last 5 years, the stock has traded largely in the range of 2-3.4 times book value.
Thus, considering the recurrence of fraud and a rather large one and the probability that the stock may again correct to lower range of book value, we have a negative rating on the stock and closing coverage on the same.
Disclosure: My father holds investment in Canfin Homes.
