Hello Sir,

Hope you are doing well.

Recently, we came across Vishnu Chemicals when running a screen to identify potential investment opportunities. The numbers looked interesting and we decided to dig deeper.

On reading more we found out that the company deals in Chromium and Barium compounds and is the largest manufacturer in India for both.

Below, we have shared the details from the Nov'22 presentation of the company. Hope you find them useful for your own research on the stock.

 

Recently, we released our New Stock Recommendation for Premium Members

It's a food processing company, virtually debt free, compounded profits at 20% + consistently, maintained returned ratios like ROE and ROCE at 20% +, doubled its market share in exports in its segment in the last 6-7 years and yet available at less than 7 times Pre-tax earnings.
