TARGET RANGE OF RS 250-Rs 300 MAY BE BE ACHIEVED IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS !
Jubilant Industries Ltd (JIL) looks good at Rs 171… it’s a SS 2 Stock Selection….It’s been listed on BSE and NSE for a month now registering a High of Rs 300 and a Low of Rs 100 on the day of listing itself on February 14,2011
There are four straight catalysts that may push JIL towards the target range inside the next few months
-
Recently the Agri Products(single super phosphate and agro chemicals for crop protection) ,Performance Polymer(Food Polymer-Solid PVA…VP latex and SBR Latex….consumer and application polymer products) and IMFL Divisions got demerged from Jubilant Life Sciences Ltd (JLSL) into JIL….JIL listed last month…Not many are aware of this new listing..they soon will be….the demerger share ratio was 1:20…every shareholder of JLSL,and there were 25285 of them,got 1 share of JIL of FV Rs 10 for every 20 shares of JLSL of FV Rs 1 held by them
-
JIL has no debt currently although it has an enabling resolution to borrow upto Rs 500 crs
-
JIL had a networth of Rs 275 crs,excluding defered tax, at September 30,2010 It grew to Rs 282 crs at December 31,2010 and is likely to cross Rs 290 crs at March 31,2011….Equity is Rs 8.01 crs of FV Rs 10 while Reserves are expected to cross Rs 280 crs this month end…this should result in a Book Value of @ Rs 362…giving a Price/BV of just 0.47…in other words JIL is available at half it’s book value
-
JIL has recorded a net of Rs 27.59 crs for the nine months at December 31,2010….It should close the year at a net of over Rs 35 crs…that’s an EPS of @ Rs 45…and that’s a PE of below 4 !

SOME RISK FACTORS
-
JIL derives a significant portion of revenue from a few customers, and a loss of one or more customers or a reduction in their demand for JIL products would adversely affect JIL business,financial condition and results of operations
-
JIL is governed by the Fertilizer Control Order, 1985 which requires it to obtain a certificate of registration, which is valid for a period of three years from the date of issue, for it to be able to sell,offer for sale or carry on the business of selling of fertilizer at any place as a wholesale dealer or retail dealer. Further, certain of their products are required to conform to the standards as notified by the Central Government/State Government in the Official Gazette
-
Increased usage of radial tyres in India, which use significantly lower amounts of vinyl-pyridine latex when compared to bias ply tyres, will lead to a reduction in demand of vinyl-pyridine latex thereby adversely affecting JIL business, financial condition and results of operations
-
The demand for vinyl-pyridine latex used in the manufacture of tyres is directly linked to the performance of the automobile industry. Any reduction in demand for automobiles may lead to a consequent reduction in demand for tyres and vinyl-pyridine latex thereby adversely affecting JIL business, financial condition and results of operations.
-
Emergence of new technologies like „Hot Melts‟ and their increased use, if any, in the future will reduce usage of poly vinyl acetate based PSA‟s which may have an adverse effect on JIL business
-
The availability of vinyl-pyridine monomer, a key raw material in vinyl-pyridine latex manufacturing,is linked to the availability of beta-picoline. Any interruption in the continued supply of beta-picoline would affect the availability of vinyl-pyridine monomer and thus adversely affect JIL business,financial condition and results of operations.
-
The Portable Liquor License (PLL) to manufacture IMFL is in the process of getting transferred in the name of the Company. Any change in the policy of the government on change in name/transfer of PLL license may adversely affect the interests of JIL
-
Single super phosphate business is affected by government regulatory controls on subsidies, pricing,disbursements and distribution. Any changes in public policy such as removal of price controls or other pressures on pricing or reduction/removal of subsidies, delay in disbursement of subsidies in single super phosphate, which is a key product in JIL’s agri products business segment, may reduce the profitability of new or current products which may have an adverse effect on JIL business
-
Vinyl-pyridine latex is used in the manufacture of tire cord fabric. Any decrease in the usage of tire cord fabric in radial tyres would have an adverse effect on JIL business, financial condition and results of operations
-
In the event governments or civic bodies of other countries place restrictions on the consumption of chewing gum, the demand for solid poly vinyl acetate, a key ingredient in the manufacture of the gum base would be adversely affected
-
Conclusion
At Rs 171,JIL appears to have little downside as both Earnings and Assets Valuation Basis support for a much higher price,despite some risk factors and that it can acquire some debt too.
A Low ROE of just over 12% is a cause of concern…but comparison with Peer Group of United Phosphorous (Big Daddy),Excel Crop (Similar scale of Revenues though lower Equity Base and Price of Rs 225) and Nagarjuna Agrichem (Similar Scale of Revenues but a higher Equity base and price of Rs 140) confirm low margins in the Agro Products sector
JIL can be a selection in the Growth/Value Segment of your Equity Portfolio….The Last time we recommended an Agro product Company was in August 2008 when we committed clients to Sabero Organics at Rs 26….Last year we exited this stock fully in the Rs 60 to Rs 80 range as unfavourable reports on the company’s operating ethics surfaced….JIL is the second Agro company being committed now to clients inside three years…we think it deserves a better PE rating closer to 7 and a higher PBV Rating closer to 1…this has influenced our target pricing for this recommendation
Cheers !

8 thoughts on “Jubilant Industries @ Rs 290 reaches target set in March 2011 last year…up 70% + from Rs 171 when recommended strongly last year in March…while Sensex drops 5%…Bottom Up for Alphas…Pointless to concentrate Mind and Money Resources on Indices”
Kindly suggest similar few stocks to acquire now please
Why sudden fall in Petronet is it good buy at CMP OR 140-130 if ahppens???
voila what was that 13% fall to 142 and then immediately back to 160 … almost 15% return in 20 minutes much higher than one year Bank FD 🙂
And I thought low beta stock like IGL down 45%-50% becauze of Bonus/Split 🙂
Glad i was one of the ones who did mail you about this stock ,more than a year back when it was demerged from Jubilant Organosys.
I also had to win the GAP gift hamper by answering the query correctly: https://www.gauravblog.com/?page_id=1209
Ofcourse, its another matter that i sold the stock way before it attained its ‘fair value’ as i had to invest it in my new venture.
No regrets as i’ve had an even better ROI & have finally found by true calling!
Thanks for all the help/guidance on the stock. Take care & God bless
Glad Swaroop,your Aqua venture is keeping you happy…that’s all that matters really…findind your true calling !…ofcourse you’ve been a regular passionate reader and better yet,responder to my Blog…and even Idea Initiator…Appreciate it…All the best
Yes,Sameer,IGL drop was scary and really quite unbelievable…and all because the Pipeline Regulator issued a drastic and numbing and retrospective effect April 2008 sharply down Pricing dictat….But this matter must have been simmering for years…IGL must have been aware of it….Why were shareholders not enlightened on this as a significant contingency,in the Annual Report…how did the Auditors too miss this Damocles Sword that just fell !?…Shows you the hopelessly inadequate level of Corporate Governance and Information Disclosure Norms in Corporates…Shareholders who lost Monies should demand an explanation from the Company and the Auditors on this act of Omission of this highly sensitive Contingency Information in quantitative terms
Kishor…look for Companies that should enjoy scale and Earnings growth of atleast 20%,have low or zero debt and enjoy relative earnings multiple of below 5 and book below 1…another interesting Investing Theme that has revived great interest is the Potential Delisting MNC and even Domestic Candidates in view of the dictat that by June 2013 the minimum shares float should be 25%…Many Companies where parents and promoters hold over 80 % of Equity may decide to exit bourses by buying back outstanding float…Alfa Laval just did that…Honeywell,3M,Oracle….many more
