Why we liked Amara Raja Batteries but never recommended it?

✅ India's 2nd largest mfg. of lead-acid batteries, mostly used in vehicles; but...

❌ No usage in electric 2w & 3w and rising env. concerns regarding lead batteries

More reasons in this thread ⤵️
✅ With $1Bn capex, expanding to Li-ion batteries that are preferred for EVs

❌ Li-ion batteries require much more techno-chemical expertise and new ways of mfg., unclear if Amara can imbibe

#ElectricVehicles #vehicles
❌ Li-ion batteries amount to > 50% of the cost of EVs, so auto cos. may produce it in-house (Tata, M&M, Ola already exploring)

#business
❌ Amara needs to take on new debt to invest heavily on Li-ion R&D fast, might take a hit on its share price

#stocks #Investment
❌ Much more renewable and cheaper option Na-ion is being explored. RIL, Maruti, etc entering this space is a big threat

#reliance
Amara Raja's report card by Recipe:

❓ Quality business model
❌ Robust financials
✅ Ethical management
❓ Strong growth prospects
✅ Reasonable valuations
❌ Adequate safety net
It remains to be seen how fast the industry transitions towards renewable alternatives and whether Amara is able to adapt to this change faster than deep pockets like RIL
Amara Raja scored 33% in Recipe's scorecard. But we require a minimum of 90-100% to recommend a stock.

Factors That Impact Home Loan Eligibility 🏡

• Credit Score
• Debt
• Income
• Age

Let's discuss them in detail ⤵

1️⃣ Credit Score

A good credit score can expedite your loan acquisition process and afford you lower interest rates.

A credit score of 750 is considered ideal, and possessing this score or higher can get you the aforementioned benefits.
2️⃣ Debt

Think of your creditworthiness as a rubber band, with each debt you take stretching the band further.

Just like the band’s elasticity, your creditworthiness also has limits. Your unpaid loans reduce the principal you can borrow as a home loan.
