    This small cap company with pricing power which has grown its topline at 30% CAGR and bottomline at more than 66% CAGR over the last five years with a remarkable dividend payout is available single digit PE. Notably the dividend is increasing every year and this year they have already paid an interim dividend of 25% (last year total was 40%). The company has healthy return ratios and is expected to maintain the growth rate. The debt is also decreasing since last few years is now just above 2cr. Given its huge stature in Food Colors industry and dominant position with all range of offerings, the company is distinctly undervalued,” he had prophetically observed.

    The stock gained credibility in Dalal Street when Nigel D’Souza of CNBC flashed the spotlight on it in 2017. All the salient points about the Company have been explained in a cogent manner.
