Thanks a lot for the feedback and queries.
- Valuation approach – it’s a complicated question
. But to summarise, I try to find companies which are extremely attractive from valuation perspective like all other value investors would do. I don’t understand technical strategies so rather I try to concentrate on fundamental analysis. A few things which I definitely consider are as follows:
a. High sales growth in last 3 to 5 years. It’s extremely important. No matter how cheap the company is, if it’s not growing, I would stay away.
b. High OPM growth in last 3 to 5 years. Increase in OPM over last few years without cutting down on the costs means company has pricing power.
c. High ROCE in last 3 to 5 years.
d. Debt to equity less than 0.3.
e. Promoter holding more than 40-50%.
f. Pledged percentage to be 0%.
g. Growth in EPS on consistent basis and must be higher than current long term bond yield.
h. Free cash flow yield to be higher than 5.
i. Growing FCFF.
j. Margin of safety ( self sustained growth rate > sales growth)
k. EV to EBITDA lower than 5 or 7.

All my screens are public. If you search by my name, perhaps you will get the results. Please note that I change all my screens way too often. Also, I don’t reply on any specific screen. You will find a flavour of all above metrics in variety of screens that I created. Basically I run all 5-6 major screens and find out if there are any stocks which appears in all of them.

Besides MF and Stocks, I have 10% in cash and investment in few ETFs, PPF, NPS etc. With regards to stock investment, I follow SIP approach in the selected stock for at least 6 months to year.
Hope it answers the queries.
