I have been observing this particular stock ABCIL since quite some time. While most of the companies in to the chemical industry hover at 10-20 PE, ABCIL has been at 3-4 PE for quite sometime.
Positives and negatives about the company:
- It is Aditya Birla group company. I have no qualms about its management.
- Topline growth has been okay since 2005. 2005-2006 3%, 2006-2007 28%, 2007-2008 21%,2008-2009 17%, 2009-2010 10% with standard deviation 9
- Net profit has seen ups and downs. 2005-2006 -1%, 2006-2007 29%, 2007-2008 45%,2008-2009 -6%, 2009-2010 31% with standard deviation of 22.
- Book value as been increasing considerably.
- EPS has not shown consistent up turn. 2005-2006 0%, 2006-2007 29%, 2007-2008 46%,2008-2009 -6%, 2009-2010 31% with standard deviation 22
- Cash flow has not been increasing, this is alarming for me.
More to come...
Disclaimer: I have started a very small position in this stock. It will be my benefit if you invest in it.
