Like other large banks, SCB has shut down some divisions. The UK is pushing for privatisation with sale of stake held in Lloyds Banking Group and RBS. The major pain for SCB is also due to the Asia focus and Chinese slowdown.
Raising Capital, Cutting Costs
Considering to start buying in small quantities.
Hi Vinamra,
Thanks for bringing it to our notice. Will try to look into it.
The results for the the 2nd quarter are out. Link: http://corporates.bseindia.com/xml-data/corpfiling/AttachLive/9E940896_0321_48CC_9F2E_FCCE746E8005_135047.pdf
The results should be compared Y-o-Y as it is a seasonal business (mentioned in result footnotes also). Though Y-o-Y the loss has widened due to lower sales. Employee costs have gone up (This I feel should be compared Q-o-Q); Depreciation cost has gone down.
The major kick in sales should come once they acquire another OPV for which the CFO has already said that they are in advanced talks and we can expect a notification on the same very soon.
Disc: Invested. Looking to add more at dips of 15-20%
I think time has again come, if someone wants to again do some rebalancing in his PF.
Many high quality names have corrected recently up to 30 %.
I am 12 % cash willing to deploy this week, but as always happens in market, the stock you wish to buy never corrects and the stock you wish to sell keeps going down ! 
Best

@adminph2 - Maybe we need to delete this one, it being duplication.
Here is an article about the tyre industry in India. The author has covered major companies as well as reasons for slowdown in the industry. That said, I am also wondering that why the industry is spending a huge amount in CAPEX to increase the capacity.
Even their manufacturing sales haven't gone up much. I see an improvement in balance sheet but with the run up this stock has shown I think it will go down to 50 levels.
Disc. I am invested
