I shall be live tweeting on TIA 20-20 ideas summit for 21 Sep 2019 - hosted by @TIA_Investors
Last year's TIA Summit (2018) thread here :
Stock idea : Alkyl Amines .
Speaker mentioning sales doubled , no debt taken but ROCE growing !
Promoters are thorough technocrats.
Amines are used in pharma and chemicals.
India competitors are Balaji Amines and RCF.
4 billion $ opportunity.
Lot of entry barriers per speaker.
40% market share , India's 2 biggest manufacturer.
Key products : Alphatic Amines, derivatives and Speciality chemicals.
250 crores for expansion capex next 2 years.
They have environment clearance for capex (very important in this industry)
Strong Bal Sheet, no equity dilution ever and ROCE in 20% range
Promoter holding 74+% and nil pledge . Operating in a tight margin band of 13-18%(EBIDTA)
Raw Material - Methanol, Ethanol , Acetic Acid etc.
Risk - Limited Industry, Capex by global players.
Thus concludes speaker @varinder_bansal
Remark - @shyamsek(past president TIA) says we get angry when markets are bad, it must be other way around 😊
Next speaker @niteen_india . 20 years experienced investor
His stock Idea is Hikal.
Btw the first speaker was Raunak Onkar and his stock idea was ITC. Missed to tweet on same.
Back to @niteen_india . He is co founder of @CapitalAurum
Hikal - Does RnD, manufacturing and marketing of fine chemicals for pharma and agrichem industry .
CMP 154, BV 63 and PE 16, MCap 1900 cr around EV 2500 cr around
Profit from 40 cr to 100+ cr 2016 to 2019. Never missed a dividend.
For companies like Hikal compliance with regulatory bodies most important.
Speaker says - they did great on all USFDA inspections (5/5 cleared in 15 years)
Kalyani group company - Kalyani Investment Co and BF Investment own 31 and 2%. Nil promoter pledge .
PAT from 37 Crore in 2005 to 103 cr in 2018. No equity dilution.
Investment Thesis - Offers value. Stock down but business doing well. 350 cr Capex on going. Will grow 15+% this year. Chinese supply distribution to help.
Risks - High working capital intensity.
70% revenues are from exports .
Thus concludes the speaker .
Next speaker - Diganth Haria from Antique Research.
His stock idea - Muthoot Finance - India's Largest Gold Loan Company.
Test for finance company - Must survive 3 cycles of 3 types - Asset cycle, regulatory cycle and regulatory cycle.
Muthoot survived all .
They survived the Gold price correction /fall of 2012-2014
Now we have rising gold prices which is good for Muthoot.
Some common myths on Gold Loan business :
1. It is a distress loan.
Reality is Gold loan - business purpose is 70-80% , distress some 20-30% only .
2. Interest rates high in gold loan.
Reality - Gold loan is a Poor Man's credit card so rates need to be high.
Interesting point : Breakeven int rates are : Banks 11%, NBFC 16% and Money lender 25%
Myth - High NPA leads to losses

Reality not the case
My view - Since loan value is only some 50-60% of gold prices risk NPA risk is low.

Myth 4 - Banks can enter this business.
Digant Says - Banks look at this biz only as another part business, can't compete much with specialist Muthoot/Manappuram .
Auction/fraud risk is main in Banks .
Muthoot Fin - 34000 cr gold loan book vs 5000 cr of HDFCBank.
Only 700 out of their 5000 branches offer this !
TIL - Muthoot has 4500 branches.
Operates on 3x debt to equity
Tier 1 capital is 24% vs 12% by regulator .
Most cost efficient player !
Quite interesting !
No longer a South India only Biz. Majority of biz is now outside of South .
Marketing by Icons like Amitabh /Dhoni et al have helped .
They are also trying to diversify outside Gold Loan biz.
Risk - 20% gold price can hurt them..
Thus concludes the speaker.
Next Speaker - Jigar Shah - Fund Manager + Co Promoter in Banyan Tree Advisors.
Jigar Shah strategy - Growth at Reasonable Price .
His stock is : Akzo Nobel.
World's second largest and India's fourth largest Paint Company.
7800 cr MCap, Nil Debt .
Their brand is Dulux.
211 cr MCap, 2% dividend yield .

Parent owns 75%.
Market share in India .
Asian Paints 55%
Nerolac 17%
Berger 15%
Akzo Nobel 10%
55000 Crore Paint biz market in India.
80% decorative paint , 20% industrial
Global it is 50-50 !!
For Azko Nobel decorative to Industrial is 65:35
Mentions about recent management changes. Will it be positive for the business here ?
Observation - The speaker was showing comparison of 4 big India paint biz players. One cannot but wonder the kind of Dominance Big Daddy Asian Paints has on this business !!
Valuation : Says is cheaper than peer paint cos and justifies valuation based on its margin being 10+ %.
Thus concludes the speaker.
After the Tea break - Now speaker is G Maran.
GMaran was the speaker in Last TIA Summit and his stock idea last year was a super star performer - 2x in a year !!
👍👍
Introduces himself - MSE broker in 1991.
Speaks about the current GDP and average income . The long runway for growth that exists across multiple consumption products.

Consumption is not Colgate and Levers .
Like Colgate -53% market share is gr8 but product penetration is already 94% . (Good point).
Likewise Footwear!
Need to check on those consumption categories which can grow 2-4x the GDP growth (meaning where penetration is low).
Like plywood .
Greenply - 90 cr MCap in 2009 vs 5000 cr in 2019( that is after spinoff of Greenlanm). 60 bagger !
70% population below 34.
In consumption products will take time to scale in Tier 2 cities.

Principle products : Pickles, Sauces, Frozen Vada Pavar etc.

Numbers - 29% 3 year CAGR.
PAT margin now in double digits
40 days of receivables and 70 days Working capital cycle.
ROE has doubled from 7% to 14% last 3 years (still low)
45 cr dispersed as dividend/buyback in 3 yrs
MCap 500 cr ish, 22 PE seems okish !!
My Observation - Stock price stagnated from 2017.
Opportunity - Some biggie may acquire at premium.
Thus speaker concludes.
Next Speaker - Saurav Basrar - Author of MasterClass with Super Investors book.
His Investment idea is PolyCab India
+Ve : Industry leader, good capital allocator, becoming B2C biz.
Risk : Recent IPO, aggressively priced.
Discusses company history - Cables biz to FMEG (Fast Moving Electric Goods)
Cables biz growing slowly
Vs rapid growth in FMEG business.
Wire and Cable biz grows at 11% CAGR historically .
Comparison with peers - Havells, Finolex cables done .
No promoter pledge .
Esop dilution there but small.
Low leverage .
No RPTs .
Finolex Cables is gold standard wrt working capital allocation in this industry .
Suggests PE can be in 12-20 range.
Currently Cable Is 52 % vs 48% wire biz.
To watch : Growth, Working capital change etc .
Thus concludes the speech.
Next speaker is @aveekmitra . Founder of Aveksat Financial advisory .
LSPS Investing - Low Stress Per Share Investing !
His stock pick : TCI Express

Global mkt for express cargo: US 60 billion $, UK 15 billon $ , India 3 billion $

Global express cargo CAGR 4% in 12 years . But China is higher.
India mkt is 20K cr domestic and 5KCr Export.
Key market - Auto, electronics, pharma ...
TCI Exp is mostly B2B, focus on SMEs.
Doesn't focus on FCart, Amazon biz
B2B express logistics had Brand salience
B2C doesn't
C2C too small + slowing (Blue Dart here. So BDart has underperformed ?)
Slowing as most doc sent online ?
Industry is 10% organised
But Express Logistics is 80% organized .
TCI has huge memory (brand recall) + long time client association.
Competitors : Gati , TVS Logistics, Mahindra Logistics etc.
TCI is highest in terms of ROI (31%). Asset Light model .
Good customer /client list + access to 2 lakh SMEs/MSMEs.
Handle upto 50 kg cargo .
400 cr capex planned mainly sorting centres .

Talks about biz model in QSR space . Assembly line approach in QSR . States how it is more scalable + profitable if Delivery based.
Stock idea - Speciality Restaurants.
IPO in 2012. Stock hasn't gone anywhere.
104 restaurants . Mainland China, Sigree, Oh Kolkatta chains
Mcap - 330 Crore.
Shareholder value destruction post IPO.
Because pre IPO too many restaurants opened .
Last 4 years - Mainland China revenues have dropped.
Revenue from liquor/Zomato/Uber eats has grown .
Lot of capex incurred to do this transition.
Debt Free Co. 70 cr on books.
Delivery share 8% in 2018 to 12-13% now n growing. Last few years cost restructuring etc. That's the thesis for betting on this stock .

Vedanta Delisting proposal - A thread.
Disc- Quoting some information out of what I remember, so please cross check .
1. Year 2002. Sterlite Industry, which was just a copper smelter , bidder successfully for Balco and then HZL but stock was very poorly valued.
2. It was not about Sterlite. Entire Commodity index at probably a two decade low, post 1997 Asian Crisis. But China growth theme was building and Sterlite Management rightly acquired Balco + HZL
3. Realising that Sterlite post HZL and Balco buys was dirt cheap, mgmt tried to delist. Got 87% shareholders to accept a low open offer price. But failed ,as LIC (among others refused to Tender)

A PE of huge size invested in an Indian stock (during bull run) and that made many small investors invest. The stock has now collapsed. Now where is the fault : PE fund or the small investor ? Think.
(Thread continues)
The Name is not relevant , be it OE fund or the stock. The PE fund is headquartered abroad and has 100 billion $ AUM. This investment would be not even 0.01 % of their AUM !
Now consider our LIC. AUM of over 400 billion USD and 70% of it in debt (to Guvts). Now they invest some 2 billion $ in IDBI bank to help owner (Guvt) do investors go and buy IDBI bank next day ? No, we condemn LIC !
Why not same for PE funds and their India bets ?

Thread on EVs and their merit by a very respectable gentleman : Nassim Taleb. And my thoughts in short thread
1. Very good to see Taleb point to the real merit of EVs : Not usual EVs are green, eco friendly bhajan (they are not) . But that EVs age slower. Due to less moving parts. That is indeed true.
2. Infact that is the one real diff between EVs and ICE. Not green, not carbon footprint etc. Makes sense.

Wonderful information !. Prices of commonly bought passenger vehicles (2W and 4W) some 30 years ! And my short perspective as a thread !
The vehicle prices in mid 80s cannot be directly compared with today (2018) because many companies mentioned don't exist and many products are not like to like comparable to today. But we can do some quick inferences ! - 1/n
From the data it looks that a low end moped costed Rs 6000 ,a scooter Rs 12000 and Rs 16000 for 100 cc Motorcycle. A sedan (Maruti 800 deluxe) needed a Lakh rupees. All this in mid 80s - 2/n
