The co. has 1,788 Cr in investments, mostly in equities which they bought in the last few months. Full year revenue was 1729Cr. with a OPM of 7%. The margins are closer to the lowest margins the company has witnessed in last 10 years. They have switched on the furnace at Impex, which was turned off due to unviable operations. I guess the cycle must be turning, very low margins+starting the furnace. If I remove the investments from the m.cap (3300cr)…then the business which is debt free, is available at 1500 cr, thats P/S of 0.87 and could be a good investment idea.
What I dont like is the mgmt’s unwillingness to distribute the cash to the shareholders. They have made massive equity investments which they should not have done, unwise capital allocation.
Disc: very small allocation, not an advise
