Can #CDSL & #IEX reinvest the earnings in the business ? These businesses won't need much cash to grow.
#CDSL have market linked revenue so business will have some cyclicality. Opportunity size is huge
#IEX 1. Revenues are not linked to market. 2. Excellent business model with super high margins and ROCE and it don't need any capital to grow. 3. But govt regulation can be a double edged sword which keeps the competition away but also can kill you.
4. Big opportunity size after MBED #Saregama & #Tips 1. Unique business model. 2. No or very less cost for incremental revenues (For already acquired copyrights which don't have royalties) 3. No cyclicality in business (Like CDSL)
4. Paid music penetration is very low - Big Opportunity size 5. Entry barriers are not dependent on govt (Like #IEX) 6. Possibility of getting high returns on incremental invested capital. (Not the case with #CDSL & #IEX. Finally they will keep giving dividends which are taxable)

With the rising prices of crude oil and trend to reduce the dependency of petrochemicals is driving the companies to switch for cheaper and greener alternatives of oleochemicals.
The consumption of oleochemicals in the form of fatty acids are used for the production of soaps, detergents, surfactants, lubricants, varnishes, and pharmaceutical products. Oleochemicals are derived from plants and animal fats
Those who follow the chemical and pharma sector often hear the terms CRO, CDMO and CRAMS. It is the direction that most chemical and pharma companies are moving in.
During the race to develop a vaccine for the COVID pandemic, we often heard terms like so and so vaccine is Phase 2 or 3 of clinical trials but didn’t really understand what that meant. We are about to break down all the complex terminology around this subject
With rise in environmental concerns and search for reducing the dependency on natural resources, the energy sector is revolutionising from non-renewable
energy to renewable energy. Increased spending on R&D for renewable energy has evolved the generation of electricity from mechanical generation to chemical generated electricity. In mechanical transformation, the electricity was generated by
rotating the turbine and converting the electromagnetic energy, for example a hydroelectric plant. In chemical conversion, certain chemicals are used in a mixture to derive electric energy from the reaction, for example lead acid batteries.
“A condition or circumstance that puts a company in a favourable or superior business position”.
A business is said to be on a competitive advantage when it could offer the same product to consumers which the competitor offers but at substantially lower prices, thus benefiting the consumer on cost benefits and cutting down the competition by lowering the margins.
The arbitrage of margins between two companies depends on the process innovation and reduction in manufacturing cost.
Clean sciences technology ltd and Camlin fine sciences ltd are two prime examples for the above case study.
What resources I use to understand chemical industry ? 🧪🧪
Like and retweet for max reach !
Understanding chemical industry can be technical and may take some time to sink in.
I use following resources to understand different businesses
1. Annual report of last 10 years
2. All the available concalls - This is must to understand product details. Competitive structure in industry, Capex plan,Complexity of manufacturing, Import substitution, Execution Capabilities.
If I am researching aarti industries
then
Along with aarti industries concalls I will read competitiors concalls also ( Seya Industries - almost bankrupt, Bodal chemicals - Entering into benzene chain )
This gives good understanding of products and value chains and what capex competitiors are planning.
The crude oil prices have made new highs and are sustaining above 100$/ barrel levels. Due to global tensions and supply disruption challenges, the natural resource is expected to continue the uptrend.
The uptrend in crude oil prices will have a direct impact on the petrochemical derivatives and downstream products of crude oil, thus impacting the margins in the chemical sector.
The aromatic compounds such as benzene, toluene, xylene etc are direct petrochemical derivatives, thus higher dependency of the chemical companies on the petrochemical value chain will result in margin erosion.
