Sportking India Ltd Investment callSportking, incorporated in February 1989, is a part of the Sportking Group. The company manufactures cotton, synthetic and blended yarn in counts ranging from 20s to 46s. It has manufacturing units in Ludhiana and Bathinda, both in Punjab. The company has large size capacity of 2.75 lakh spindles and dyeing capacity of 20 tonne per day. It manufactures value-added yarns, such as compact, sustainable and contamination-free cotton yarn, which provide higher realisations than normal cotton yarn. Products: - The Yarn business is the largest strategic business unit of the company which manufactures Cotton Yarns, Poly-Cotton Yarns, Fancy Yarns, Acrylic Yarns and Polyester Yarns. The Co also supplies knitted fabric (Single Jersey, French Terry, Fleece etc.) and manufactures garments for Men, Women, Girls and Boys that are made available to customers through their own Retail Outlets. Geographical Split: - Domestic (India): 53% in FY21 vs 52% in FY20 Exports: 47% in FY21 vs 48% in FY20 The major exporting destinations of the Co are Bangladesh, China, Hongkong & Singapore. Associated Brands: - The Co is associated with brands like Zara, H&M, Ikea, Jockey, Marks & Spencer etc. Its top five clients accounted for 24% of total revenues in FY21. Manufacturing Facilities: - The Co has seven manufacturing facilities in India spread across the states of Punjab and Himachal Pradesh. The present total installed capacity of the Co is 2.72 lakh spindles for the manufacturing of Gray/Dyed Cotton/Cotton Blended/Synthetic Yarn. The Co also owns 100 Retail Garment Stores spread across India. The capacity utilization in FY21 stood at 95%. CRISIL Ratings has upgraded its ratings on the bank facilities of Sportking India Limited (Sportking) to ‘CRISIL A/Stable/CRISIL A1’ from ‘CRISIL A-/Stable/CRISIL A2+’. Excerpts from the rating report are as follows: - Key Rating Drivers: - Strengths: Sportking has a strong market position in the compact cotton yarn industry, with total spindle capacity of 2.75 lakh and revenue estimated at over Rs 2,000 crore in fiscal 2022. The company has established a strong position in several export markets, such as Bangladesh, China, Egypt and USA. The company also has longstanding relationships with international garment retailers in the USA and Europe and, thus, benefits from its diversified geographic reach. In fiscal 2022, export demand improved with increased competitiveness of Indian spinners in the global market on account of lower domestic cotton prices compared with global prices and supply disruptions amid Covid-19 pandemic. Performance is likely to remain at higher level than historical trends on account of structural changes in export market. The company consumes about 4 lakhs bales of cotton every year and is, therefore, one of the largest buyers of cotton in India. Large-scale procurement will keep the bargaining power high over the medium term. The company is focusing on de-risking its exposure to basic cotton yarn products and emphasizing on value-added yarns, such as contamination-free cotton yarn, sustainable cotton yarn and multi-twist cotton yarn, which fetch higher margin. Sportking had a healthy capacity utilisation of over 95% in the last three years, and has therefore, planned additional capacity expansion of 40,800 spindles expected to be commissioned by September’2022. This should further strengthen the business profile of the company. The company has also approved the installation of the Rooftop Solar Power Project of 20 MW Capacity at its Existing Factory Units for captive consumption in Oct 2021. The project is likely to be implemented in the next 6-8 months. Timely execution of the capex within budgeted cost and achieving expected ramp up will be key monitorable. Improved spreads between prices of raw cotton and cotton/ synthetic yarn and benefit of operating leverage should help sustain the operating margin at above 15% over the medium term. TOL/TNW is expected to improve to less than 1 times in medium term despite additional term debt to be availed for capex plans. Adjusted interest coverage ratio expected to be over 15 times in fiscal 2022 because of increase in profitability and is expected at above 8 times in fiscal 2023, driven by better spreads between prices of raw cotton and cotton/ synthetic yarn and healthy capacity utilisation. Financial flexibility is healthy, as reflected in moderate bank limit utilisation. Adequate liquidity and comfortable financial flexibility will continue to support the debt obligation. Any larger than expected debt funded capex or higher dividend payout resulting in weakening of capital structure will remain key monitorable. Strong liquidity position: - Unutilised bank lines stood at Rs 169 crore as of Feb 2022 (bank limit utilisation averaged 65% over the 12 months ended Feb 2022). Net cash accrual, expected over Rs 400 crore in fiscal 2022 and over Rs 200 crores in next 2 fiscal years which will be sufficient to cover debt obligation of Rs 30-40 crores in next 2 years. The company has well spread capex plans over the next three years. Company financials: - • Market capitalization at 1528 crore. • Average Roe for last 10 years 32%. • 10-year CAGR of sales at 11% and 10-year CAGR of profit at 33%. • 5-year CAGR of sales at 16% and 5-year CAGR of profit at 80%. • Debt to equity at 0.70 (less than 1 is good), Interest Coverage at 20.2 (greater than 3 is good), Current ratio at 1.70 (greater than 1.5 is good), FCF to CFO at 46.8%. • March quarter sales growth at 43.54% end March quarter profit growth at 77.19%. • TTM sales growth at 65% and TTM profit growth at 310.65%. • The promoters have increased their shareholding in the Co by 5% between June 2020 and Sept 2021. • The Co issued bonus equity shares in the ratio of 3: 1 to the eligible shareholders in Sept 2021. Risks: - • The company derives over 90% of its total revenue from the yarn sales, which is susceptible to volatility in cotton and cotton yarn prices. As a result, the operating margin fluctuated between 10% - 28% over the last 10 fiscals through 2022. Demand for cotton and yarn is driven by international demand-supply dynamics. In the past decade, the industry has seen five cycles (fiscals 2012, 2015, 2018, 2020 and 2021) wherein demand spiralled and then fell rapidly. Additionally, as Sportking derives close to half of its revenue from the overseas markets, it is susceptible to any significant volatility in forex rates, which is mitigated through foreign exchange forward contracts/ availment of working capital limits in foreign currency. • Operations are working capital intensive, as reflected in gross current assets estimated at around 165 days as on March 31, 2022, driven by stocking of raw cotton bales being a seasonal product leading to high reliance on debt. On account of high investment in inventory and debtors, working capital loan remains sizeable. Why is this a good investment?? Stock is trading below its 10-year average PE of 5.9 (current PE 3.72). Near term demand zone between 970 and 1030.

Debt to equity at 0.01 (less than 1 is good), Interest Coverage at 107 (greater than 3 is good), Current ratio at 2.73 (greater than 1.5 is good), FCF to CFO at 51%. TTM sales growth of 26% and TTM profit growth of 42%. Dividend yield of 0.71% (consistent dividend payer since 2009). Borrowings came down to 122cr in September 2021 from 249cr in March 2020. Details from credit rating report presented by ICRA in Sep'21 Eicher Motors Limited: Ratings reaffirmed Rationale The reaffirmation of ratings of Eicher Motors Limited (EML) continues to factor in its strong business profile, as evidenced by its market leadership (>90% share) in the premium middle-weight motorcycle segment (>250cc-800cc) in India, its established Royal Enfield (RE) brand, strong product portfolio and well-developed dealership and aftersales network. The ratings also favourably factor in its strong financial profile, reflected in its healthy return indicators, credit metrices and a superior liquidity position. In FY2021, the Covid-19 pandemic exacerbated the already weak two-wheeler (2W) demand environment, and additionally disrupted the supply chain ecosystem. Consequently, EML reported a 13% YoY contraction in its consolidated sales volumes in FY2021 vis-à-vis 9% contraction for the overall motorcycle segment (domestic + exports). Nonetheless, improving pace of the vaccination programme, coupled with an increasing premiumisation trend, is expected to augur well for EML. Its strong brand pull, regular product launches/ refreshes supported by expansion of its overseas presence is likely to support its growth strategy. The ratings continue to factor in the strong financial profile of the company, evidenced by its healthy profitability (average OPBDITA and ROCE of ~27% and over ~35%, respectively, over the past five years) and cash accruals, negative net debt position and robust liquidity profile (cash, cash equivalent and investments of ~Rs. 7, 790 crore as on March 31, 2021). While commodity price headwinds and semiconductor chip shortages may constrain profitability in the near-term, ICRA expects EML’s cost rationalisation initiatives, better product mix and increasing exports to support its profitability. The company is expected to fund its capacity expansion/ new product development plans from internal accruals/ cash balances, thereby keeping its dependence on external borrowings negligible. EML’s commercial vehicle (CV) business under VE Commercial Vehicles Limited (or VECV, a 54.4% subsidiary of EML) has improved its presence in the domestic market over the last few years, despite operating in a highly cyclical industry, prone to stiff competition. This had been aided by continuous product launches/ refreshes, technology advancements, expanding dealer and after-sales networks, and targeted marketing efforts. ICRA expects the Government’s thrust on construction and infrastructure projects, coupled with the potential implementation of a fleet modernisation and scrappage programme, to support demand for VECV over the medium term. The company continues to maintain a strong liquidity position, which is likely to limit any funding support requirements from EML. The Stable outlook on EML’s long-term rating reflects ICRA’s expectation that it will continue to maintain its leadership position in the Indian premium motorcycle sub-segment, aided by its established brand and product portfolio, regular investments in new model launches and extensive dealership network. The same is likely to help the company successfully navigate through the uncertainties caused by the pandemic and maintain a robust credit profile. The company’s volumes grew at a CAGR of ~10% over FY2015- FY2021 vis-à-vis marginal decline for the overall domestic motorcycles segment. Despite the increasing competition from domestic and international OEMs, RE is expected to maintain its stronghold in the target sub-segment over the medium term, backed by its niche brand and value proposition, expansive dealership, and after-sales service network (2,0711 domestic touchpoints in June 2021 against 527 in FY2016). Regular new launches and product variations underpin RE’s technical prowess. With launch of the Himalayan (early 2016), The Twins (FY2019) and Meteor (FY2021), it has demonstrated its capability to develop new models from the ground up, incorporating new engines as well as a platform. This has given the existing RE users a chance to upgrade and helped ramp up its presence in export markets. EML’s liquidity is superior as reflected by its cash, cash equivalents and investments (MF’s) of ~Rs. 7,790 crore as on March 31, 2021. The company does not have any long-term loans on its balance sheet. Healthy cash flows from operations coupled with negligible debt obligations and favourable working capital cycle, have enabled EML to maintain a superior liquidity profile, despite a large capex undertaken in the last few years. In line with its track record, the entire capex for FY2022 (estimated at around Rs. 500-600 crore) is also expected to be funded through internal accruals. Despite near-term demand uncertainties, ICRA expects the company to continue to maintain a strong liquidity profile. Risks RE’s product portfolio, concentrated in the >250cc to 650cc sub-segment, caters to a niche clientele. Despite YoY improvement over the years, the >250-800cc sub-segment constituted only 6% of the total 2W market in India (in FY2021). Further, within the sub-segment also, the company relies heavily on the Classic brand/models, which accounts for over 60% of the motorcycles sold. While the company has launched new brands (within the same sub-segment) over the past few years, there scale-up remain to be seen. Lack of segment diversification and product concentration remains a credit sensitivity for the company. Furthermore, several domestic and international players have entered the premium sub-segment with new products in the past few years. The increasing competition could limit the pricing power of the company to some extent. While RE’s export volumes in FY2021 had increased at a CAGR of 33% in FY2015-2021 on a YoY basis, these accounted for only ~6% of total volumes sold during FY2021. Thus, the company remains exposed to geographical concentration risk, with India remaining its key market. However, over the past few years the company has expanded its distribution network in over 60 international markets. The company established one assembly facility in Argentina in August 2020 and its Columbia facility became operational in August 2021. In addition, it is working towards setting up assembly operations in Thailand, Brazil, and certain other locations to improve its competitiveness. The 650cc Twin motorcycles and newly launched Meteor 350 have been well received in the mature markets. The company’s ability to increase exports could offer a significant scope of market expansion and, thereby, help mitigate the impact of any slowdown in the domestic market. Why is it a good buy right now? on weekly charts NSE:EICHERMOT is trading at a confluence zone of 3 resistances and 3 supports. Also, it is trading near its 10-year average PE of 41 (current PE is 42).

Why BEPL is becoming more attractive day by day? INVESTMENT IDEAThis post is not for traders who want to trade with stop loss. This is for long term investors who wants to buy fundamentally strong beaten down names at a good entry points. NSE:BEPL Bhansali Engineering Polymers Ltd is engaged in manufacturing and sale of ABS Resins, AES Resins, ASA resins, SAN resins and their alloys with other plastics in the Indian market. Its customers include leading companies dealing in Automobiles, Home Appliances, Electronics, Healthcare and Kitchenware. Why is it a good buy right now? The Company had entered into a 50 : 50 Joint Venture Agreement with Nippon A&L Inc., Japan (NAL) and incorporated a Joint Venture Company namely Bhansali Nippon A&L Private Limited which provides sales support and technical support to the Company. This JV has enabled the company in catering the growing demand of ABS resins, ASA resins, AES resins and other specialty polymers. Nippon A&L Inc. was established in 1999 as a JV between Sumitomo Group and Mitsui Chemicals, which focused on polymerisation of Styrenics and enjoys high reputation in the field of manufacturing and marketing of ABS, AES, ASA resins and SBR/PBRLatices. Technical expertise, as and when required, is deployed from NAL Japan, in the purview of the JV between the company and NAL. With the help of the technical support BEPL has developed several new ABS grades and going ahead also the company believes that they will continue adding new SKUs to its product portfolio. Indian ABS market has duopoly situation with only two players BEPL and INEOS, while the rest of the market demand has been catered through imports. Despite the availability of a market in India, global players find it difficult to meet the demand of the Indian market as the scale of operation is not favorable. Further, every segment requires a different colour and performance specification so manufacturing such a wide variety of colours requires a strong balance between investment and sectional capacity utilisation. Need for high grade technology is another strong entry barrier. Both these domestic companies have technical collaboration with foreign partners and have long standing relationships with end user industry. The market is niche which acts as a natural entry barrier for the new players. The Indian automotive industry is undergoing significant transformation, with respect to its sustainable growth and profitability. The industry is witnessing megatrends that are expected to transform the industry in a significant way. Rapidly evolving customer needs, disruptive impact of technology, a dynamic regulatory environment, changing mobility patterns etc. are impacting the way auto companies are doing business in India as well as abroad. The industry now aspires to double its contribution to manufacturing GDP with a four-fold growth in size and a six-fold growth in exports by 2026. These bold aspirations, along with the trends shaping the industry, create new opportunities in the years ahead. India is becoming a global manufacturing hub of two wheelers as well as four wheelers. As a result of which, international giants in the automotive field, viz. Suzuki, Hyundai, Honda, Toyota, Volkswagen, General Motors, Ford, Nissan, Renault, Fiat have established their respective manufacturing facilities in India, with growing degree of indigenization of its components. For components manufactured out of ABS, BEPL’s presence is well registered with all such international giants. Indian appliance and consumer electronics (ACE) market is expected to double by 2025 according to Indian Consumer Durable Report. There is immense scope for growth of these products in India as the penetration level is immensely low as compared to global average. Demand for consumer electronic goods is likely to witness an increase in the coming years, especially in the rural areas as the Government plans to invest significantly in rural electrification, supplemented by rising influence of social mass media and the popularity of online sales. The Government of India’s policies and regulatory frameworks, such as relaxation of license rules and approval of 51% Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in multi-brand and 100% in single-brand retail, are some of the major growth drivers for the consumer market. The Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme in 10 key sectors (including electronics and white goods) shall boost India’s manufacturing capabilities, exports and promote the ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ initiative. Near-term outlook for Appliances and Consumer Electronics (ACE): Pent-up demand (most seasonal categories missed out massively in the previous two seasons), work-from-home (to support convenience driven categories), improving housing activities, and resumption of Capex will sustain strong revenue traction in the coming quarters too. Average ROE (Return on Equity) for last 3, 5 and 10 years are 40%, 39% and 25% respectively (all above 15%) 5year CAGR (Compound annual growth rate) Sales and Profit at 19% and 82% TTM (Trailing 12 months) Sales and Profit growth at 33% and 147% Promoter Holding increased from 55% in Dec'19 to 56.45% in Mar'20 (greater than 45% is good) Dividend Yield at 1.56% (consistent dividend payer since 2011) Debt to equity at 0.00 (less than 1 is good), Interest Coverage at 1070 (greater than 3 is good), Current ratio at 6.81 (greater than 1.5 is good), FCF to CFO at 78% (company won’t have to raise debt for expansion) Current PE at 4.82 is much lesser than 10-year average PE of 26 BEPL is trading at a very good support point and is heading towards another important support point at Rs.100. If anyone consider it for buying, put only 3% of your capital right now, buy with another 3% if it falls another 40% and invest the rest 4% (don't invest more than 10% of your entire capital in one stock) when the share closes at a 52 week high.

INVESTMENT IDEA Kalyani SteelsThis post is not for traders who want to trade with stop loss. This is for long term investors who wants to buy fundamentally strong beaten down names at a good entry points. NSE:KSL Kalyani Steels Ltd, a part of Kalyani Group, is primarily engaged in the business of manufacture and sale of Iron and Steel Products. The product portfolio of the Co consists of camshaft, connecting rods, gears, transmission shafts, axle beams, steering knuckles etc. for Automotive Industry, round cast for Seamless Tube Industry, rolled bars for Engineering Application etc. Why is it a good buy right now? (Excerpts from Rating Update of Kalyani Steels by CARE Ratings) 1. Industry outlook India is the second-largest crude steel producer in the world. India’s crude steel production fell by 5.59% and finished steel production was flat at 95.12 MT in FY21 against 102.62 MT in FY20. Domestic steel demand was impacted by a slowdown in manufacturing activities during H1FY21 due to Covid-19 pandemic. However, post lockdown, the global commodity markets witnessed a sharp rebound with a continuous increase in prices. While the demand recovery, especially in China and other economies, was on the back of substantial government stimulus, the lockdowns and restrictions caused significant supply-side headwinds in terms of difficulty in procurement and movement of key raw materials resulting in reduced production across steel mills. The double whammy effect resulted in one of the sharpest and perhaps the fastest recoveries in the global steel prices, which was considered beyond the market's expectation. CARE Ratings expects the domestic steel demand to grow at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 7.5% during the next 2-3 years. CARE Ratings further expects net sales realization to remain healthy. As far as volumes growth is concerned, demand improvement and the low base effect of FY21 is likely to help improve the volumes of the domestic players. The solvency ratios of steel companies are expected to improve on account of accretion to net worth and healthy cash accruals along with continuous reduction in debt levels. 2. Strong promoter group coupled with long track record in iron & steel industry KSL is a part of the Kalyani group and is spearheaded by Mr B.N Kalyani in the strength of Chairman. He is also the Chairman and Managing Director (CMD) of Bharat Forge Limited. The Kalyani group, established in mid 1960s, has wide capabilities across varied industries including Engineering, Automotive, Industrial, Renewable Energy, Urban Infrastructure and Specialty Chemicals. In a span of more than four decades, KSL has grown from being a primary iron and steel manufacturer to a preferred steel supplier for engineering, auto, seamless tubes, etc., companies mainly catering to forging industry serving the auto and allied sectors. The promoters are supported by a team of professionals including, Mr RK Goyal (MD) and Mr Balmukand Maheshwari (CFO) who are associated with KSL since more than eight years. 3. Established selling arrangements KSL was promoted as backward integration unit of the Kalyani group from which majority of the requirements for the group companies is met through KSL. Moreover, long-standing relationship with major OEMs along with approved vendor status continues to garner KSL with repeat orders. The Kalyani group companies accounted for around 53% of the total revenue in FY21 (refers to the period April 1 to March 31). 4. Arrangement with suppliers for procurement of raw material albeit absence of long-term contracts continues KSL has diversified raw material procurement source wherein raw materials are procured both from the domestic and overseas market. The key raw materials used by KSL include coke/coke fines, iron ore/iron ore fines and ferro alloys. However, majority of the raw materials have been sourced from few suppliers representing concentration risk; but the risk is partially mitigated as the company takes quotes from various suppliers before placing orders. Furthermore, KSL has not entered into any long-term contracts with the suppliers. 5. Robust capital structure and comfortable debt coverage metrics Capital structure of KSL remained robust with 0.02 (nil) debt to equity and overall gearing (including LC backed creditors) of 0.22x (0.19x) as on March 31, 2021 (2020). The overall gearing marginally increased on account of ECB taken by the company during FY21 to fund the projected capital expenditure of Rs.211 crore. As on March 31, 2021, the company has long-term debt of Rs.18.37 crore. The debt is projected to increase further, however, the overall gearing is expected to remain comfortable. The fund-based working capital utilization is also minimal. The net worth of the company stood at Rs.1,153.42 crore as on March 31, 2021, as against Rs.962.71 crore as on March 31, 2020. The gearing when adjusted to investments in group companies also stayed strong (adjusted overall gearing of 0.25x) as on March 31, 2021. PBILDT interest coverage and total debt/gross cash accrual remained comfortable at 43.24x and 1.11x in FY21 from 10.08x and 1.12x in FY20, respectively. 6. Improvement of Profitability Margin KSL improved its profitability margin majorly on account of improvement in gross margins.
