Thanks, it s a great step taken pro actively by @adminph2.

Off late I have noticed few more such threads with micro micro caps with one guys answering all queries.
Some of us just ignore it, guessing the obvious stuff in these games.

I think this action, by bringing it in public notice has helped in
1. New members and many non members who just read posts and are easy traps to be aware of such traps/misleads.
2. It also helps 2000 odd members to make them aware, and it our responsibility also to flag such issue with admin/Seniors etc. if someone smells such stuff.

I also think disclosures ( holding/non holding) should be also made mandatory for every posts for all members.

Cheers
Thanks for making it a great forum.

@Donald Thanks for sharing the link. Nishith clearly articulated the trend even way back in 2012 and his recent article adds much more clarity on MPS future.

Excerpts from the recent article :
"... Aptara was purchased by iEnergizer; an 80% stake in SPi Global was purchased by CVC Capital Partners from Philipine Long Distance Telephone (PLDT) Company; and Lumina Datamatics was created by folding Datamatics data conversion services into PreMedia Global. The next round of consolidation has already started with MPS Limited purchasing Element LLC, EPS, and TSI Evolve—all three based in the U.S.—and assembling a large war chest for further acquisitions.

All these changes mean that some publishing services companies will emerge stronger through the process and be the market leaders of the future. The successful publishing services companies are likely to be end-to-end players servicing the needs of the academic, educational, and self-publishing market segments with a strong focus on technology, workflow management, and high quality content creation, production, transformation, and delivery services supplied from multiple geographies. In fact, the publishing services companies of tomorrow with full-spectrum capabilities will increasingly clone the publishing clients that they serve."

Am surprised to see he mentioning even the self-publishing market segment. Tells me Nishith is clearly on the watch-out for disruptive things, regardless of market sizes.

And here is another chart showing split up of costs in producing a book. Be it hardcover book or e-book, there is always content design, digitization, typesetting, editing, etc., involved.

Great set of numbers from motherson sumi.

Net soars by 176%

There has been decrease of advertising expenses by 3 crore when compared to last year same quarter otherwise the EPS jump would have been lower had they continued to spend on advertising.

But this lower ad spend might result in lower sales growth in future? I'm not sure.

Good that at least the sales have more or less remained flat for this quarter (QoQ). Still sales growth of 10%-15% is not coming. TTK showed better sales growth.

I don't hold Hawkins, this is my passing observation on the results.
