This one's a different Nahar

Nahar Industrial Enterprises Ltd. The company results have been very impressive over the last 3 quarters -
Jun-05: Sales increased to 176 crs from 90 crs LY; profits up from 3 crs to 14 crs
Sep-05: Sales up from 82 crs to 172 crs; profits rose from 7.12 to 15.07 crs
Dec-05: Sales upto 169 crs (from 156 crs); profits up from -0.72 to 18.26 crs.

Extrapolating these numbers over the next 3 quarters puts the fwdPE of the company at a powerful 8.56. I also find that -
1. The organisation's interest cost has been decreasing over the last few quarters, which is brillant. (there is one news item however, which indicates that the company is in discussion for issue of FCCBs)
2. The NCAV of the scrip is 13.92 with a sizable investment head of 66 crs in the balance sheet (mostly owing to shares in sister concerns - NSML and NEL)
3. A visible increase in net margin from -1.5% in FY2004, 3.3% in FY2005 and 9.2% till Dec-05
4. Surprisingly, no dividend has yet been issued although the company has enough cash reserves and cash profits.
5. The 31-Mar-05 book value is a comfortable 175 rupees/share

I would love to buy this stock. The only hitch on the charting is : the scrip had just created a valley a few days back when it dipped from 170 rupees to 130 rupees. It's now back to 170 rupees. Dont risk market timing ... buy a small number of shares, buy more on declines.

Hi Rohit,

IVRCL is expensive .. at fwdPE of 47.17. A div yield of 0.19%. NCAV of 28 rupees on a 309 rupee stock. Surprisingly, it doesnt pay too much of taxes aswell.

Tough call. A lot of it is plans .. a 150-seater KPO, Mall and IT park in Gachibowli, NHAI projects, Steel fabrication unit etc.

Warm Rgds

SKS Shipping is a penny stock. Has sales of 8-9 crs a quarter and 1-1.5 crs of profits a quarter. Would advice this.

Warm Rgds, Shankar

PS: Im still fazed by the charting - 6 days of trading on this stock has given an absolute return of 70% on some punters.
