Saral Gyan Recommendation on 19th Dec 2010:
i) At the end of Sep'10 the Management holds 68.89% (now its 70.90%) equity stake in the company which is very good by any standards.
ii) Over the last 2 years the Management has increased their stake by almost 10%. At the end of Dec'08 they had 59.18% stake in the company while at present they hold 68.89% (now its 70.90%) stake. The Promoter's made open market purchase as recently as May'10.
iii) For the half year ending Sep'10, the company has recorded a more than 100% growth on YOY basis. The company is trading at a forward earnings PE multiple of 3.5 while the other listed companies command much higher PE multiples of 15-30, hence looks grossly undervalued stock.
iv) Although company is a small player in comparison to the larger players in the same liquor segment, however it maintains one of the highest margins in the liquor segment.
v) Company has paid dividend of 10% in 2010. At current market price, dividend yield works out as 2.78%. (For FY 2010-11, company has annouced payment of Rs. 2 per share, hence dividend yield at CMP of 54 is 3.7%)
vi) On equity of Rs. 235.85 million the estimated annualized EPS works out to Rs. 10.3 and the Book Value per share is Rs. 26.51 (now Rs. 33.6). At a CMP of Rs. 35.95 (now Rs. 54) , stock price to book value is 1.36 (now 1.6). The scrip is trading at 3.5 X FY 2010-11 estimated earnings which make it an attractive buy at current market price.
Saral Gyan Team recommends “BUY” for Piccadily Agro Industries Ltd. at current market price of 35.95 for a target of Rs. 75 (target revised to Rs. 90) over a period of 18-24 months.
Company 90% revenue comes from liquor division which was commensed in 2007 and is growing with very healthy operating margins but still the company is considered as a sugar company. Piccadily Agro is trading below its intrinsic value and seems to be grossly undervalued.
