Great thread. #Garwaretechfilms is one of the few small caps, thats able create a brand in advanced markets. They compete with the likes of 3m in the US and while it gets valued as a commodity company, it deserves to be trading as a speciality consumer company.

Disc: Invested
A barometer of company's brand strength is it gross margins & Payment terms. GM% are at a great 65% at present( vs 38% for the commodity film companies) and the company offers no credit and works on a cash & Carry model.
Hard to find an Indian company that sells in the US in cash
One of the best models is for the company to sell to many small customers & that too in retail. Garware Hitech's customers are the 4000 paint tinters in the US. Their existing brand recognition amongst the tinters for the window films will work well for it paints film business.
Softish results from Garware hitech, will be interesting to hear management commentary in call. Image
A very good call from Garware Hitech, margins pressure was due to hike in Raw material which is passed on in the exports markets with a lag. company maintains its guidance of achieving 1500 crores topline by the end of Fy23. Company is also expanding its Window films line by 67%

#PixTransmission is a dominant small cap in its duopolistic market of V-Belts, essential in all manufacturing sectors.
Company due to robust demand has recently approved further capex of 60 crores.
Promoter increasing stake.

Disc: invested from 300 levels.

Much more to come!
Indian Market is dominated by Pix & Fenner, V-Belts has repeatable purchase as the product wears out after a limited time.
Due to its use in every industry, it is required that the manufacturer have v belts in 1000's of sizes and every size has a different mold.
This inventory of molds calls for a significant investment, which acts as a moat for the incumbent.
Since v belts are used across India, the vendor is required to have most of its variants stocked with dealers across the country.Pix has a significant distribution moat in India.

A successful consumer tech company should always be valued significantly higher than a normal consumer company.
Opportunity size is large for both but the digital distribution of the tech company services allows it traverse the opp landscape faster than a normal consumer company.
Since capex is not a challenge in setting up a tech business, therefore a tech company has to create alternate barriers, thus the need to drive business velocity as network effect is true barrier to entry.
To get to that scale, tech companies have to sacrifice near term eps.
If public market doesnot agree with this, its the markets' loss, these companies will either stay private or raise equity from Nasdaq.

So in true tech if the public market participants want the alpha, they have to devise alternate methods to assess a company and its valuations.

To sell cement 2day, u gotta make it 2day

To sell cement day after, u gotta make a new batch to sell.

Develop a software product 2day,
Sell it 2day, 2moro, next year.

Simple Stuff Desi analysts dont get,

& then they go value product tech cmpnies like conventional products.
Temenos a company, #Intellect recently beat amongst 20 others in a Canadian bank deal trades at a valuation of $10 billion( 70k crores) at a price sales X of 10.

Intellect doesnot even consider them competition, Palantir, a cmpny that intellect considers so, trades $55 billion.

Reminds of a joke

A fishing accessories store was selling shiny bate hooks. A man asked the store manager:
" why do u sell such shiny hooks, the fish dont even care"
The store manager replied
" We dont sell to the fish, we sell to the fishermen"
But how does it even matter, sab karte hai , industry standard practise hai toh karna padta hai!!Hum.bhi kar lete hai!

1. We a see a trend these days to compare operational cash flows to net profits and judging the quality of a company based on this rather simplistic metric. Through this thread we seek to dispel this myth through an investee sapling of ours. #saplingcapital #Saplingframework
2. One of our most favorite technical pesticide manufacturing sapling has often been ridiculed for not generating operating cash flows in line with net profit.
If all that were required to identify great companies was to compare OCF to profits everyone would be a super investor.
3. Going in depth and scratching beneath the surface helps and in this case it required one to study the nature of the trade.The company is one of the largest exporter of technical grade pesticides.
