Reasons for chose APM Industries Ltd.
1. Raw material prices of APM depend on crude prices. We
have seen drastic fall in crude prices resulted lower prices of raw material.
Now crude price is stabilize and various experts are saying that it will be
stable around same level for next two years, due to supply of Iran crude will
come in the world market. This will be beneficial for the company.
2. Due to lower raw material cost selling prices of finished
goods (yarns) also decreased. Despite of lower selling prices company is able
to maintain sales around Rs.300 Crores. There is no fall in demand and company
is running its full capacity. Good Quality Yarns produced by the company are in
demand of various leading textile manufactures.
3. Due to erosion in value of stock, the company has written
off Rs.10 Crores stock value in first nine months of FY 2015-16. Now crude
prices are bottomed out and company will not face such situation in coming
quarters.
4. Till December 2015, profit was Rs.15.32 crores and in
view of previous two quarter results total Net Profit for FY 2015-16 will be
around Rs.21 Crores. Despite fall in selling prices and write off of Rs.10
Crores stock value company is able to maintain profit levels. In FY 2016-17 Net
Profit may be 50% higher than FY 2015-16.
5. These days, we are hearing much noise about loan defaults
by the various companies resulted sharp jump of NPA and mess in Banking Sector.
It has also resulted more than 90% fall in share prices of the some defaulter
companies, a big loss to small investors who have not timely exited from these
companies.
APM
management is extremely reliable, efficient with low overheads. Company is
reducing the debt every year and it has reduced debts from Rs.62.42 crores in
March 2011 to Rs.10.89 crores in December 2015.
6. From FY 2010-11, company is generating surplus cash and
invested it in Tax free Bonds and various Debt mutual funds. In March 2011 such
investment was Rs.1.76 crores which increased to Rs.36.57 crores in December
2015. Income on Investment is also increased from Rs.0.69 crores to Rs.3.41
crores. From FY 2015-16, Income on Investment will cross the amount of equity
capital Rs.4.32 crores.
7. In December 2015, against investment of Rs.36.57 Crores,
total debts were Rs.10.89 crores only. Therefore, the company is virtually debt
free.
8. Promoters are investors friendly and long track record of
dividend payment. The company has increased dividend from 30% in FY 2010-11 to (50+85)
135% in FY 2014-15. In FY 2015-16 has already declared interim dividend 75%
against previous year’s 50%. Now company’s board meeting is scheduled on 11th
March 2016 for second interim dividend. Looking in view of 50% increase in
first interim dividend company may also increase second interim dividend 50%.
Therefore, second interim dividend would be around 125%, and total dividend
200% in FY 2015-16.
9. Dividend yield comes 7% tax free, based on expected 200%
dividend in FY 2015-16 and current share price Rs.57. It is more than one year
Fixed Deposit taxable interest. Looking EPS of Rs.10, it is trading at PE ratio
5.7X. In view of such strong fundamental company it should trade around 12X-
14X. During recent market fall it has shown strong resistance around Rs.50.
10. Recently, company has announced to enter in NBFC business
through incorporating a subsidiary company. Company would realise better
returns on surplus cash invested in Tax free bonds and mutual funds. Promoters
are already having experience of running another NBFC company under common
control - Rajgarhia Leasing & Financial Services (P) Limited.
From
then, there are various quality improvement in the company’s financials,
dividend payout etc already discussed above.
