SKM continued a good performance in Q1’FY24 with decent margin for past 3 quarters(21-24%). I end up reading a section about business updates in their annual report. They seem to be expanding in different geographies and coming up with new products. To my understanding, its trading at quite a low valuations given the performance. ROCE for FY 2023, spiked to ~46%, Also, significant improvement in cash conversion cycle. Decent free cash flow of Rs. 39Cr. @RajeevJ Sir, @nirvana_laha Will be very insightful to understand your views in case you are still tracking this counter?

Mayur Uniquoters ~ Market Leader in Indian Synthetic Leather Market (14-08-2023)
@harsh.beria93 has succintly highlighted the recent concall above.
It’s very difficult to gauge what will happen to Mayur 3 years down the line however I am trying a simple extrapolation.
Background:
Company enjoyed a very strong growth period earlier around 2009-14 when it added export oem’s and had a cagr return of over 50% for few years before the company went into consolidation. At present juncture company has tied up with Mercedes and BMW and the supplies have already started for the former and more are lined up for both however business has been quite volatile since 2014 and marred with issues and somehow has not been able to grow consistently.
Apart from external volatility in the past few years internal issues currently like china dumping PU, slow offtake to export oem’s, scaling up of furnishing business, slow progress in professionalising the company are hindering growth.
Targets in 3 years as per q1fy24 concall
3 years down the line ie by FY26.
- exports general is 20cr this q ie 80cr per year. Considering it a 100cr business.
- Replacement was 26cr this quarter ie roughly 100 per year and considering an increase to 150cr in 3 years.
- PU/Footwear was around 48cr this q taking it as 200 for the year poddar ji expects this to increase by 50% in 2 years but ill take it in 3 ie 300cr in 3 years
- Auto domestic was 44cr this q ie around 180 for whole year; this he expects 10% -12% growth hence considering 10% this could become 240cr
- Export oem he expects 575-600 in 3 years but ill keep it 500cr.
A back of the envelope calculation indicates that this is revenues of around 1300cr in 3 years.
And if we take margins of 21% (considering a 2% increase from present due to contribution from better margin products) this shud translate to annual pat of ~190cr or eps of 45 roughly.
Valuing it at 25p/e this translates to share price around 1100.
Risks:
- All This could have been said many years to quarters ago hence the above carries very little literal value but gives a sense of direction. The only positive is that now approvals from export oem’s are in place and shipments have started already.
- Succession planning and key man risk persists
- raw materials are crude oil linked and company has always struggled to pass on prices immediately taking a hit on margins. Hence, in case of volatility and increases in crude oil prices could impact margins and deter returns.

My portfolio updates and investment journey (14-08-2023)
Thanks Ayush and Ravin for your comments.
Ayush please note that I am new to bond investments. Also I am not a financial advisor or SEBI registered. Hence, please do your own due diligence. There are of of course limitations to bond investing such as investment ends up getting concentrated in NBFCs as they are only mostly traded. Liquidity also remains a issue. I have not included instrument level information as it tedious to include.
I look at credit rating, group (eg. I put Chola over IIFL and IIFL over edelweiss), if I want to concentrate on particular group/NBFC then I look at NPA and Capital ratio for my comfort (screening).
Disclaimer: I am not a financial advisor and nor a SEBI registered Analyst. The content shared here is only for learning purpose. All the names mentioned here are for example purpose. I may buy more , exit or partly sell the stock/bonds without any prior intimation.
Globus Spirits (14-08-2023)
Bad numbers from globus in Q1. Margins gone for a toss tmyet again. In last con call management had guided to maintain margin at 14-15% for next 2 quarters. But margin came in at 9.6%. I have been noticing it is very difficult to trust this management because from the past 1.5 years their guidance on margins barely stands. They had initially guided for North of 24% margins during covid, which then gradually fell to 19% then 14-15% and now they are not even being able to maintain 10%. Would appreciate the views of others in this regard…
Selecting a broker (14-08-2023)
I (was) big fan of Zerodha, however it’s not all good what they said in interview etc (mostly we always works in interest of our client).
Let me share my point,
Am having 2 accounts; 1. Z and 2. Nuvama (Edelweiss)
Today morning I transferred fund from broker to bank at almost same time from both account, received fund from N to my bank in few hours, preciously less than 3 hours, whereas Z fund is not yet creditted (I believe will be deposited tomorrow morning).
Also it takes time more time for Z to reflect fund in withdrawable balance. Either my N is better than Z or Z is not to the mark – As I don’t know other than N & Z.
