Sterling & Wilson Solar Ltd - Techno Funda Pick

Image result for STERLING WILSON SOLAR

NSE: SWSOLAR
CMP: 319
SL: 280
TARGET: 400 & 490
RISK: 12% - REWARD: 24% & 52%
The promoters of the Company are Shapoorji Pallonji and Company Pvt Ltd and Khurshed Yazdi Daruvala.
SW Solar is engaged in providing Solar engineering, procurement & construction (EPC) solutions.
The company according to IHS Markit is the world's largest Solar EPC Solution Provider with presence in almost 30 countries.
For FY 2019 company had revenues of 8240 crores, with net profit of 639 crores.
The stock currently trades at a Market Cap of 5100 crores (Mcap/Sales of 0.61) and P/E of 8x.
Sterling & Wilson Solar IPO opened in August 2019 at an issue price of 780 and the stock listed around 700.
Post that the stock was marred with rating downgrades for the group over delay over loan repayment, The management during the IPO had promised to repay debt of 1000 crores it had taken as a loan (ICD) from SW Solar which will reduce 1000 crores out of total debt of about 2200 crore on the books of SWSOLAR by CY 2019 end.
Due to group level liquidity crunch the management sought more time to repay the loans and said to be working on a new schedule of repayment.
Due to such uncertainty over repayment of loans the stock price heavily corrected, SW Solar crashed from around 570 at start of November to about 245 at the start of December.
As known Shapoorji Pallonji's wealth remains locked in shareholding of Tata Sons and the Ratan Tata v/s Cyrus Mistry (son of SP Group chairman Pallonji Mistry) boardroom scuffle has resulted in bitter relationship between the two groups.
Recent media reports suggested that the SP Group sold shares in TCS worth almost 400 crores, Now the NCLAT came out with a ruling in Cyrus Mistry's favour seeking to re-appoint Mistry as the Exec Chairman of Tata Group and if at all any announcements on Re-Payment of SW Solar loan comes there will be a huge bounce-back for the stock.
Funda:
- Cheap valuations
- World's largest SOLAR EPC player
- Good financial performance delivered
- SP Group despite downturn remains a strong promoter group.
Techno:

The stock as said has gone through heavy correction, the fall has been vertical and has left a lot of gaps on the charts, Since we are punting on a turnaround in fundas, the techno gap-filling at 400 and 490 can happen, The highest single day volume post listing day was at lower levels close to 259, Recent lows of 290 should act as technical support which is why our SL is placed at 280 with a target of 400 and 490 in the next 20 trading sessions.

Techno Funda - We Are Back

Image result for we are back"
Dear Readers,
I have been writing this blog since 2014.
Have shared a lot of stocks, Many turned out to be huge multibaggers while many turned out to be duds.
This blog has largely been focused on Value Investing but since 2018 we haven't had a lot of value emerge in stocks hence the blog has stayed muted.
Since a lot of value is not on the table I feel its a good time to start updating the blog with some quality techno-funda ideas and broader market views.
So to sum it up, The Ace Investor blog is back and now slightly more adaptive as we will be using a mix of both basics of Technicals & Fundamentals to pick stocks with stop loss, targets and time frames defined.
Hoping for your continued patronage,
The Ace Investor

Parag Milk Foods Ltd - Value Pick

















PARAG MILK FOODS LTD
CMP: 270 (ACE Equities clients at 250)
Market Cap: 2200 crores
Book Value: 98
52 Week High/Low: 344.70/197
FY19: Sales 2396 crores, Net Profit 121 Crores, EPS 14.36.
Mcap/Sales: 0.91X, P/E 18.80.
Promoter Holding: 45.97%.

Parag Milk is one of the very prominent dairy players in India, Parag is slightly better on the margin side compared to its peers because of great focus on value added dairy products such as Cheese. Parag owns brands such as: Gowardhan (ghee milk paneer), GO (cheese, yogurt, value added products), PRIDE OF COWS (superior quality milk with zero human intervention from by far one of the most modern dairy farm in India), TOPP UP (flavored milk drinks), Avvatar (India's first domestic manufactured pure Whey Protein from a dairy farm. For FY19, Parag Milks had a revenue of 2396 crores, with net profit of 121 crores and an EPS of 14.36. At current market price of 270, Parag is at a p/e of 18.80 and with Mkt Cap of 2200 crores mcap/sales is nearly 0.90x. With continued focus on consumption names, I think Parag is a good stock at current valuations.

The company today announced induction of Mr Venkat Shankar as the CEO, so far the company was largely managed by the family only now with Mr Shankar's induction who is the Ex VP of Britannia's dairy division and has also served Pepsico in past, I think Parag makes a case in point for some major re-rating. P/E valuations of close to 30 means almost 60% price appreciation from current levels.

TRENDS


TRENDS
There has been a lot of talk on the street about an economic slow down in India, the key indicators being taken as a proof for the same are sluggish auto sales trend and a few fmcg majors like HUL (Unilever Plc) moderating their growth forecasts for the Indian market.
I feel, this is not an economic slow down but a major economic shift that India is going through. The high young population percentage of India means a lot of decision making and disposable income coming into the hands of millennial and if we have to think or talk about the future we need to get an inside scoop of the millennial thinking, How young India thinks and acts.
Note: This is not a well researched piece so pardon me for inaccuracies, This is more of what I have observed or heard from people as I travel or talk to people across India and try to observe them, their thinking pattern and catch a trend. Since this is more of general talk, I am not attaching data of any kind to the whole thing but just logic that i feel is correct.
I pen down a lot of my thoughts on a very scattered way on Twitter, so I thought of writing this one piece where I can integrate many of it into one.
So here are some interesting observations or say my own millennial thinking on stuff :-
Banking:
Retail banking was a pretty big theme for investing in India, 10-15 years ago a large percentage of our population was not connected to the banking system.
Today, almost entire India is connected to the banking system after Jan Dhan Yojana. Leaving aside a small percentage of population that continues to be disconnected to the banking system.
Therefore, any new bank or even a old bank trying to get hold of a lot of accounts might not really work out even if they expand their branch networks aggressively.
Infact, Technology which has replaced the middle-men across the sectors will emerge as a major threat to traditional banking system going ahead. With the emergence of Fin Tech Companies: Your mobile wallets, digital bank accounts and mPOS have already started to disrupt the financial world. Now going ahead, traditional banking which is the largest middle man in the economy will witness challenges from P2P lending and many such intriguing concepts. The banking giants which actually slept on technological innovation will have to wake up and smell the coffee sooner or later to compete with these fintechs and smaller banks aspiring to grow big have to create fintech brands or keep trying to talk about biting the retail banking cake and end up being eaten.
Auto Sector:
On my personal twitter handle, Last year in September I had posted about an impending auto-slow down.
In real terms the auto slow down came a bit late but now it is the biggest talking point on the street.
While many are taking this as an economic indicator of prosperity and financial power I feel otherwise.
We had a good amount of growth in the 2 wheeler and 4 wheeler space in India, most of the metro cities in India are over populated both with humans and vehicles, Parking is a huge issue for all the car owners, Maintenance costs are high, Petrol Diesel haven't been really cheap despite Acche Din.
The car buying is slow not because people dont have money but because people have options like Uber & Ola in big cities, they are now venturing into small cities as well.
The buying a second car idea is not even on most minds anymore.
If you have options to spend small and get services like Uber & Ola you might not instantly look to spend big on a vehicle and pay EMIs, you would rather spend it on some other things (This is how the millennial thinking is shaping up)
Plus due to the above stated issues a large percentage of people no longer see a car as a status symbol, flaunting an iPhone or flaunting about a holiday on Instagram has become more interesting or worthy rather than driving your tall boy Wagon-R. Now going ahead the Car Sales will soon turnaround because while cities are done with owning a car obsession, smaller towns and cities would witness a trend to buy cars and even if they don't once Uber & Ola start to penetrate your smaller towns and cities you will anyway see amount of growth returning in the sales figures soon.
Meanwhile 2 wheelers will be a growing trend, A lot of second car buying would convert into owning a 2 wheeler for quicker commute, Plus the rise of Swiggy, Zomato, Uber Eats largely the Delivery Boy Culture will also trigger a good amount of growth in 2 wheeler buying.
FMCG:
HUL which is present across so many categories of FMCG has cut its growth forecast in their latest quarterly results and the volume growth was unexciting for analysts.
This whole thing of FMCG slowdown that is being peddled may not be a slow down but a case of shrinking market share for these large mncs.
Just think about it a Patanjali which came out of nowhere and disrupted and grew big even though even that is slower now points out at what?

It points out at a lack of loyalty in the mind of Indian consumer, this young Indian consumer is not shy of trying new brands and things or eat new stuff.
For instance, India's total potato chips market both organized and unorganized stood at close to 18000 crores in 2017 while the leaders continue to grow at exciting or moderate growth rates, the latest entrant with a niche of baked healthy snack, crisps, chips and innovative products like foxnuts and quinoa puffs "Too Yumm" a brand by CESC endorsed by Virat Kohli went on to clock almost 300-500 crore sales in their first year which is not a mean feat. Even DFM Foods in their latest march quarter delivered a 30% revenue growth backed by new launches like cheese balls and more.
The entire thing about India being hugely populated country and FMCG being a huge growth story has caused a lot of start-ups, new companies venturing into this field of business with a renewed focus on pricing and innovation, these small companies with their small brands are so many in number that they are managing to dent the market share of these biggies (It is actually good for India)
Its not just limited to food but across the board, E-Commerce push has also helped to cut off distribution headache and making it easier to sell your new brand to large population.
For instance the best selling shampoo on Amazon right now is WOW's Apple Cider Vinegar Shampoo priced at a discounted rate of 384 for 300 ML and it has 5951 customer reviews already and on an average 4 star reviews.
Their website: buywow.com tells us that Wow Skin Science is a beauty company based in "Bangalore" so you know now its a start-up.
HUL's clinic plus comes as second best seller.
Across skin care there are brands like Skinsalad, Jovees, mcaffeine and practically a lot many which are slowly starting to have their own set of customers and are biting the market share of biggies.
Another example is that the best seller product in Chips category on Amazon is Too Yumm's Multigrain Dahi Papdi Baked Chips and the second best seller is Lays American Onion
So one thing is becoming clearer that the young millennial Indian customer is not a very loyal or attached fellow to any brand, He is not shy of trying things and he/she has a lot of options now compared to what they had earlier.
FMCG / Fast Food/ Restaurants contd:
Packet food is also getting disrupted by availability of fresh food through swiggy and other such food delivery apps which can replace your hunger of Maggi with a paneer wrap from your nearby Dhaba.
QSR, Take Away and Food Delivery is becoming a pretty booming business in India, big cities like Mumbai or Kolkata or smaller towns like Indore: The Demand is Real.
A simple question also is, if HUL’s growth forecast turning tepid hints at recession does the mad growth of food delivery apps and restaurants hint at India becoming an economic super power? NO for both.
This is not such a great news for a Dominos or Mc Donald’s because of variety of options becoming available to people.
But in turn it is also fueling the hunger across people to order so they are not complaining as they all are targeting the Kitchens as well not just each other.
Overall:
I have left many sectors uncovered here, But the moot point I am trying to make is that the disruption is pretty high and across industries, and there are many opportunities for many companies and start-ups to make it big.
A lot of the listed company’s results or growth forecasts might or might not reflect this due to shrinking market shares for big companies.
But this whole consumption slowdown does not seem very real to me, Investors as well as young businessmen should try to identify new themes in the consumption or service bracket to tap.
There is a lot at stake for FMCG Biggies and also a lot of Stake in the market share to be won by younger companies.

Varun Beverages Ltd - Value Pick





















VARUN BEVERAGES LTD
CMP: 900 (ACE Equities clients at 840)
Market Cap: 16100 crores
Book Value: 110
52 Week High/Low: 954/654
FY18: Sales 5105 crores, Net Profit 293 Crores, EPS 16.03.
Mcap/Sales: 3.16, P/E 56.
Promoter Holding: 73.56%.

VBL is India's bottling partner (contract manufacturer) for PepsiCo.
With recent development in Feb 2019, States of Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, AP, Telangana too are now in Varun's fold as the leading Pepsi bottler.
Apart from India, Varun is also Pepsi's partner for countries like: Nepal, Sri Lanka, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Morocco.
Almost 80% of Varun's revenue come from India, Nepal & Sri Lanka.

Brand products of VBL are: Pepsi and all its varieties, 7up, Mountain Dew, Mirinda, Everess, Tropicana, Nimbooz, Aquafina, Gatorade.

As per data:-
The carbonated beverages segment is around 80% of Varun's revenue pie.
The remaining 12-13% is from Packaged water and another 6-7% is from non carbonated beverages such as Tropicana fruit juice.


- The company with recent re-franchising by Pepsi now stands to gain a major foothold in west India and south India market of beverages.
- Consumption of Soft-Drinks stood at 44 bottles per capita in India in 2016, in USA it was 1496 bottles, Mexico was at 1489 bottles and developing economy like Brazil was at 537 bottles.
- Large section of Rural India did not have access to electricity, If electricity is pushed to all villages, A village can have atleast one public fridge, and cold drinks are popular because they are consumed cold.
- The per capita consumption of Cold Drinks would increase significantly with electrification and access to fridge and cold storage.

Key Risk: Health awareness, Competition, Swadeshi Awareness etc.

At 3 times Mcap/Sales being the largest cold beverage maker in India, VBL does not look expensive, the valuation can easily stretch to 5 times market cap to sales.

Which leaves a price target of close to 1500 with current set of numbers.

However, With the recent addition of states a HUGE percentage of market gets captured by VBL which means revenue would grow very sharply in forthcoming fiscals.

A price of north of 2000 is what we expect in the Long-Term from Varun and give it a space in our portfolio.

The Road Ahead

Dear Readers,

2013 to 2018 was one way bull run in midcap small cap, with every tom dick harry becoming a stock picker and every tom dick harry stock becoming a multibagger. When such excesses are there we have a bear market impending (I had warned in Nov 2017 with my post Be Value Sensitive) post Jan 2018 this time the bear market came but on midcap and small stocks mainly and not on the indices, now most of the dust is settled and bull run in mid & small cap will begin meanwhile individual cases where there are excesses will continue to get punished.

All these are normal market phases we need to adapt to.

We have recently witnessed Media Outlets are picking up any stock and announcing that they have spotted corporate governance issues and as a result stocks crashes 10-20% just like that.

Remember, how in 2017 there were "Rocket Emojis" flying all over the whatsapp groups related to stock markets, every stock picker was having a great time, every stock was a potential multibagger. 

Just like that now every other stock has issues, is a fraud company, or over-valued according to popular belief.

Some popular beliefs that got trashed recently was Market will crash due to BJP losing state elections, Market will crash due to Auto nos being weak, Market will crash due to Urjit Patel sudden resignation.

Another popular belief that has made space in everyone's mind now is that Midcap and Small Cap will continue to fall, Everyone believes till election nothing will happen in the midcaps and smallcaps.

Markets generally are under no obligation to reward popular belief.

I feel we are now in a situation when valuations are comfortable but panic is high, fear mongering about corporate governance is at peak. But, there might not be any panic selling left because there is no one left who would sell.

Some people also believe the current India Pakistan tension is going to play a big spoil sport for the markets. I beg to differ on this, India is a growing economy with comfortable macros for now after the Crude price crash, Pakistan will not be able to afford any war with India and escalations would just be hyped by Media.

So the point i am trying to make is, Like the BULL RUN had its excesses and it got reversed I feel the BEAR RUN in midcaps and small-caps is over now and it is time for a sharp rebound in quality mid & small cap names and it should start before the general elections itself.

2013 to 2017 was a period of many multibaggers, Right stocks went up 5x and 10x easily.
2019 to 2021 will be a period of many right stocks doubling and/or tripling, One should not get huge 10x multibaggers easily right now as the cycles and markets have started to mature up.









Which are these stocks? Right from 2014 I have been writing about stocks I like for free and would continue to do so going forward.

We also provide research to our clients at ACE Equities.

Coffee Day Enterprises Ltd - Value Pick

Coffee Day Enterprises Ltd.
CMP 280 (ACE Equities clients at 260)
Market Cap: 5980 crores
Book Value: 115
52 Week High/Low: 374.60/237
FY18: Sales 3274 Crores, Net Profit 106 Crores, EPS 5.03.

- Headed by V G Siddhartha (ex JM Financial portfolio manager).
- Cafe Chain started in 1990s which triggered cafe culture in India .
- As of date is India's largest cafe chain with a foot print of 1600 + stores across 220+ cities in India. 
- One of the rare chains to have sustained in the same business for more than 2 decades despite regular competition from global players like Costa Coffee, Barista, Coffee World and now Starbucks.
- CCD also has outlets outside India in countries like Nepal, Malaysia, Czech Republic and more.
- Coffee Day Enterprises as the holding company for Cafe Coffee Day outlets business and Coffee Machine vending business, It has stake in Mindtree (17%) 53.8% holding in SICAL Logistics, Land parcel of 135 + acres in Bangalore and Mangalore, The Serai (resorts) and 85% stake in way2wealth stock broking.
- In late 2018, Cafe Coffee Day signed exclusive agreement with UBER Eats to launch new cloud kitchen brands in partnership, Cafe Coffee Day outlets would have new exclusive menus for Uber Eats that will create exclusive brands.
- Company tied up with Australian dairy player named Frosty Boy for milk shakes (The deal went largely under-reported in Indian media). FrostyBoy remarked it as their entry to Indian Food Market.
- Company also recently tied up with PowerSquare to offer wifi charging soon at all its outlets.
- Company has launched interesting combos as it looks to take on the entry and increasing competition from Starbucks.
- Company has launched its own app called CCD and gives discounts etc to users. Also the ability to order on the go through the app, take a pick up and stuff like that. 
- Company has announced a restructuring plan to divest their stakes in group businesses such as Sical Logistics, Kotak is advising them on the same.



 I believe Coffee Day which is India's first cafe chain is cautiously cooking up something really interesting, First their tie up with FrostyBoy, then their exclusive tie-up with Uber Eats and now their plan to divest stake in various other businesses.

As remarked above: Cafe Coffee Day holds 17.08% stake in Mindtree, Current Value about 2400 crores, CCD has total debt of 5000 crores, Interest Cost FY18 was 349 crores on PAT of 106 crores, if interest cost is halved PAT would be 280 crores and EPS of 13 in FY18 itself.

This Uber-Eats tie up and creation of new exclusive brands can create lot of value for the shareholders sooner or later.

The company's first brand with uber-eats is named Home Cravings and is offering combo meals and home cooked style food experience in Bangalore. The brand appears to be in beta stage to test the market dynamics but the ratings across bangalore on the Uber-Eats app have been good.

Key Risk: Failure in combating Starbucks threat and deteriorating brand value.

However, here actually our bet is on the Jockey (V G Siddhartha) more than the horse itself, A guy who was doing a stock market job and can do so many exciting things such as Way2Wealth, Build such a great empire, Pioneer Cafe Culture in India, survive in the business despite global competitors would surely do something to sustain further. The developments they have been under-taking such as tie-ups and all does hint at one thing, The promoter is not willing to let this business die a slow death.

All in All, Coffee Day at 1.40 mcap/sales does not look expensive to me at all.
The Costa Coffee acquisition by Coca Cola with an eye on China network does show us how the sector is exciting with more global players looking to get into this space.

Finolex Industries Ltd - Value Pick


Image result for finolex pipes

Finolex Industries Ltd.
CMP 530 (ACE Equities clients at 500)
Market Cap: 6650 crores
Book Value: 216
52 Week High/Low: 713/463
FY18: Sales 2738 Crores, Net Profit 299 Crores, EPS 24.06.

Half yearly FY19 EPS for Finolex is at 14.48 for Sept 18 v/s 8.71 Sept 17. (66% bottom line growth)
The margins growth latest quarter was backed by good growth in their PVC Resin segment (Which is not going to be around for a long time)
Since the company is converting from B2B to B2C, Most of their PVC Resins will be utilized in their PVC Pipes manufacturing itself.

Even though numbers look very rosy the annual eps projections for FY19 are pegged between 27 to 29 v/s 24 of FY18.
At an EPS of 27, current P/E for Finolex is at around 17.
If we look at the five year average P/E that Finolex has commanded it has been around 17.
The peak P/E was 79 (though erratic) lowest p/e was 9.65.
If we look at the P/E it had at all time high of 760+ in 2017, It was at a P/E of 27.


- The company is changing from B2B to B2C with total focus now on Pipes segment.
- 70% of pipe sales are Agriculture driven.
- Is increasing focus in plumbing pipes, their total capacity is 3,70,000 MT for Pipes & Fittings.
- Has entered the higher margin Cpvc Pipes business (Astral's core area)
- In 2017, Co. signed agreement with Lubrizol the inventor and largest manufacturer of CPVC compound in the world.
- Has a capacity of 6000 MT for CPVC, did sales of 5900 MT in FY18 at 147 crores. 
- Is going to increase the CPVC Capacity to 15000 by FY20.
- We are seeing a total shift in demand from construction sector in favour of Plastic Pipes v/s DI Pipes and Iron Pipes.
- Old buildings, socieities also witnessing repairs in rusted pipelines leading to demand for Plastic Pipes.
- We believe the market can grow at a pretty aggresive growth rate soon and branded players like Finolex which has great distribution reach should be able to tap it to their benefits.
- Company holds stake worth 1000 crores in family owned Finolex Cables (Though bothers within the families have been at loggerheads) 


Key Risk: CRUDE price volatility, It is widely known that the company will witness inventory losses because of sharp crash in crude (PVC Resin segment)
However, with migration towards B2C, tapping margin accretive category such as CPVC we expect the company to negate some of the risks.

At annual EPS of 27 the stock is at a P/E of 18, and at a MCAP/Sales of 2.19.
cPVC Pipes player Astral Poly trades at a P/E of 61 and a Mcap/Sales of 5.32.

Stock has remain muted due to volatility in Crude prices, it will be very interesting to see how the management has managed the crude risk in next two quarter results.
Considering the future outlook, discounting short-term hiccups due to crude volatility throwing the spread for a toss, lower crude price is a long-term positive for Finolex Industries.
Once the business becomes totally B2C focussed, and builds on the brand value and makes a mark in the cpvc segment, will not be surprised if it is given a rating similar to Astral which trades like the Paint Sector.

Hence we have a LONG TERM buy rating on Finolex with recent lows of 430 expected to be a potential bottom for the mid/long term.

NOTE: When we bought Finolex Industries, we anticipated that the company will suffer an inventory loss due to crude fall and erosion in the value of pvc reisins, like last time when crude fell. However, This time despite the crude price correction, PVC Reisin has seen a price increase, Which means there should not be any inventory loss.
