Yet another great discovery and in depth technicals with macro analysis. I immediately added into my watch list and will add into my portfolio if there is a slight dip πŸ‘

Thank you πŸ™Œ Yes, please review each of my posts independently. I don't give buy or sell calls .. it's mine & Priyam's research, we can be wrong aswell. The idea here is to offer everyone two layers of research -- one that we don & if you can top it up with your own research, then all the merrier.

Thank you very much Atharva ji. I love researching but yes, it's hardwork going through 50-60 stocks every week between me & Priyam (my researcher). I'm glad you're liking my work. Companies like Zaggle, BLS, Samhi etc. are driven by quarterly results so while we see noise moving them here & there -- the real lookout are the 4 quarterly financial statements that'll tell us if my thesis was right or not

Hi Shankar, on growth and valuation parameter, PNC Infratech also looks good with a low PE and 5 yr sales growth of 18% and profit growth of 24%. It also commands a sub 10 PE ratio. Can you compare both ?

Hello Atul ji -- PNC Infratech was reviewed and I had to keep it aside. Reason:

1. Management's revenue groth guidance for FY25 is zero % to minus-10% (a very rare occasion when a negative guidance was presented)

2. The guidance for FY26 is 15% growth

So, -10% in FY25 and +15% in FY26 means one can expect the 2-year growth rate for PNC Infratech to be 0%.

For specifics, kindly read pages 7 & 8 of https://www.bseindia.com/xml-data/corpfiling/AttachLive/39316b9c-6fe0-40d2-b1b9-330f315ae5dc.pdf

Another great analysis Shankar!

On a lighter note, I hope the Sardarji is not the same from BLS international blog who couldn't get his "Visa" and had to compromise with the "construction" work! :P

Wondering which has the better scope! out of BLS and Ceigall Where's the scope of high waves!

Thank you Pradeep ji. Yes, his name is Kartar Singh .. when he is not recording videos (Kartar is my videographer), he photographs himself at the most unexpected places incl. passport offices & on a road roller :)

For now, I prefer BLS over Ceigall -- more visibility

Hi Shankar,

How do you think about high working capital and in turn lack of OCF generation? The way I think about this is that higher the growth higher the debt as OCF and FCFF will seldom be positive. Any thoughts on working capital pressures and scope to drive it down?

Thanks to you also.

Thanks Shankar Ji. Amazing work again. One specific question that concerns me on Ceigall , is why are operating cash flows negative for the last 3 years - looked on screener? Should I be concerned? Can i infer anything more from the cash flows on screener.

Most welcome.

1. Yes, you can infer more; please analyse the cash flow statement presented by Ceigall India in their balance sheet for more insights

2. Rather than being fearful of a negative number, I'll suggest you look into reasons on why the cash flow from operations is negative at this stage. Is it because of the high growth phase the company is in? Is it because the company has HAM projects? etc. Post reasoning -- fear or optimism can take over.

Hi Shankar ji, i have been following since ET money days.
