As of now I am myself not too sure about the sector as a whole. So better not go into names at this juncture.

Investing Basics – Feel free to ask the most basic questions (07-09-2023)
If ROE < profit growth, then to sustain the profit growth the company has to either take debt or dilute the equity. I have heard something on the similar lines.
Can someone help me understand it mathematically?
Please take the examples of turnaround and one normal company.
Annapurna Swadisht Ltd – A Swadisht FMCG investment? (07-09-2023)
- For east and north-eastern markets: Annapurna mentions that they have customized their products are the taste/needs for the market. Not just only 1 pan India product in a category.
- Competition (fierce) competition will always be there in this segment. Either with Big players or with local manufacturers. Annapurna’s plan is to have as much SKUs as possible and have as much as possible products in a shop. They want to fill the smaller shops with their products (Jo dikhta hai wahi bikta hai). In a sense, they are trying to increase their visibility to gain wider acceptance (may be some kind of exclusive deals as well).
- In Noodles, they have just started. 1 year back they had got few executives from Nestle. Let’s see how they are able to gain the market share.
- All in all, execution of Annapurna has been too good. And still they are only in a few states. Opportunity size is still very big. So, with pricing, localized tastes, and better execution, they can grow very well. Let’s see how they progress.
Annapurna Swadisht Ltd – A Swadisht FMCG investment? (07-09-2023)
Thanks Nalini for sharing some insights from AGM. Much appreciated. I was going through the concall of Bikaji foods and it seems that they are also investing heavily and focusing on rural India (Bharat) in the likes of UP, Bihar and Eastern part with Rs 5 packets products (Impulsive category). So i wanted to understand from learned people on this forum that:
- What’s the right to win for Annapurna in these new markets vis a vis their peers. Is it the product mix/differentiation in terms of higher SKU’s or is it some other factor ?
- Biggies are now shifting their focus on impulsive buying category so don’t think that Annapurna can claim price point as their only value proposition to gain market share.
- In terms of “Noodles” as a category, as mentioned that this would be their focus area for FY 24, does it mean that they are able to compete with Maggi and their product is getting traction in existing market. This seems to be a bit unreal but if yes then definitely it speaks something about their product quality.
Happy to be proven wrong and hear some different perspective from the learned members.
SmallCap Hunter : Trying to find the dark horses with triggers (07-09-2023)
Its temperature is not homogeneous. You have a look at your portfolio, consider the business prospects, consider the valuations, and then make a decision on a per stock basis. Don’t get swayed by macro noisemakers, they will fill your ears, not your pockets. If a stock has a long runway ahead, unless its obscenely valued (>80 PE), stay put. As long as you feel growth rate can justify valuation, no need to worry. Even if price falls, you can own more of that business.
Depends on your thesis for buying in, whether you wanted to simply play the PE expansion and exit once your targets are met, or whether you want to stay in the game for longer.
Never wait for the market to tell you when to exit, always stick to your rules/plans based on your time horizon, return expectations and risk appetite.
Indicators don’t guarantee anything. US Government Bond Yield Curve Inversion typically an indicator of recession. We all know how that played, and those who sold thinking the market will go lower are either biting their nails from the sidelines or Fomoing at higher prices.
Disclosure: 75% of my portfolio are small caps. Continue to hold unless I get extreme lucrative exit deals

SmallCap Hunter : Trying to find the dark horses with triggers (07-09-2023)
@avneesh @Deven @somu0915 and seniors.
I am newbie and Since my PF is 87% small caps…it has ran very hard and fast since march end.
Nowadays, i keep coming across same news regarding small cap space being over heated.
I refer to another recent thread on small cap.
My query –
1.How hot is small cap space ?
2.Is it possible to dentify that its time to get off the party while its still on ?
3.What indicators can be helpful and if we can stay clear when the tide is about to turn ?
