Some of you got it correct. Its Anjali Portland.
The company just acquired another cement company that will double the total sales immediately. screener.in/company/APCL/
The acquisition was financed by adding debt, so interest costs from next quarter will go up but still great!
For a company that operates in a cyclical sector like cement!
What I liked is that the company was able to maintain the balance sheet and margins even in a down cycle.
With real estate sector reviving, this can be a great bet from here.
No recommendations, just an observation.
Market started re-rating the stock as soon as they announced acquisition.
Someone did some work on details of acquisition, sharing the thread here.
Grab a cup of coffee, in this thread I will explain
1. Peter Lynch's Six Categories of Stocks 2. How to identify the type of stock you own? 3. How to think and decide about the runway for growth of a company?
Lets dive right in.
For those who do not know (I doubt there will be many), Peter Lynch is one of the most successful fund managers of all time.
He managed a fund called Magellan at US Investment Giant Fidelity Investments and during his 13 yr tenure, he delivered an average CAGR of 29.2%.
Sadly the fund couldn't keep up post Lynch's retirement and his successors weren't able to keep up with his returns.

1. What is Dupont Method for ROE? 2. What is the difference between ROE, ROCE and ROIC? 3. How to identify companies that will improve their ROCE in future?
Lets dive right in.
Believe it or not, DuPont method for ROE was introduced to capital markets by the chemical company, DuPont (duh) in the 1920s.
A DuPont explosives salesman called Donaldson Brown invented formula for an internal DuPont efficiency report in 1912. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DuPont_an…
Lot of regulatory crackdown in China. Top rated companies are available for huge discounts. $BABA for example now has a market cap of less than 600 Billion and is bigger than Amazon in every regard.
I have been aggressively investing more in Chinese equities than Indian ones.
Lot of IPOs hitting the market. As a general rule, I stay away from applying for IPOs. Here are a few reasons why 👇🏼
1️⃣ Companies are dressed up a year or so before IPO to allure investors
2️⃣ Insiders get an opportunity after waiting for years to liquidate their investment
3️⃣ Most IPOs are aimed at giving insiders an exit rather than raising growth capital for a company
4️⃣ I look at IPOs 3 to 4 quarters out, this gives me enough clarity on what the company has done post raising funds. By this time insiders had liquidated whatever they wanted to.
5️⃣ The initial exuberance dies down post 3 to 4 quarters and price action settles down
This strategy has worked out for me quite well and has prevented me from sucking into the euphoria of market.
Billion Dollar Whale is a fascinating story about how one mastermind was able to rob billions of dollars from Malaysian Sovereign Fund and use that money to finance everything from parties with Paris Hilton to the movie Wolf of Wall Street.
