HOT PICK: PSL LTD. bse code: 526801

PSL manufactures and supplies spiral welded pipes conforming to American Petroleum Institute (API) standards for oil, gas and water transmission, as well as structural and piling applications for both onshore and offshore sector.

Its subsidiaries include PSL Corrosion Control Services Limited, Pipeline Systems Limited and PSL USA Inc. PSL USA, Inc. and PSL-North America, LLC.


According to sources, the conglomerate expects to establish a large share of the proposed gas pipeline network to be built by GAIL, GSPL, and other domestic players, who have announced proposals to construct pipeline transmission networks worth over Rs 20,000 crore.

PSL's annual pipe manufacturing capacity presently stands at 1,475,000 million tonnes per year.

The Promoters' shareholding stands at a very healthy 49.13% and the PE ratio is only around 8 at cmp of 179. Its Market Cap vs Sales is very attractive as compared to its peers. PSL has a market cap of 700 crs whereas the sales stand at around 3600 crs, which means Sales are around 5 times of the market cap. Now compare this with its peers like Welspun Guj whose market cap is around 4700 crs and Sales of 5800 crs, which means sales is 1.2 times market cap. Another peer Maharastra Seamless has a mkt cap of 2000 crs and sales of 2100 crs, i.e. sales is 1.05 times mkt cap. So as compared to its peers, PSL Ltd appears to be grossly undervalued.

The share is trading at a deep discount to its Highs of around Rs. 555 in December 2007. Very recently, fund house Citigroup Global Market (Mauritius) Pvt Ltd increased its stake in PSL Ltd to 5.38 per cent. The future looks very bright for this company and we can expect this stock to eventually make new highs like peer Jindal Saw is currently making.

Cheers!

Hi Superstar
What are your views on all our old favorite? South Asian Petrochemicals. Is it still a buy at market price???
thanks

Superstar said...

Thank you so much Manu, Street, Ravi & Pooja for your spirited support. I appreciate. Now lets see what the final list of BB housemates is.

Culutre Blog,
I'm glad that some of my old favorites like Aurobindo Pharma, JK Lakshmi have outperformed the market in the last six months. People who invested in Aurobindo Pharma have actually made extraordinary profits. South Asia Petrochem also has recovered from March lows. At current price of 14.30 it is more of a HOLD than a Buy. The June qtr results have been encouraging, but the company has not been consistent in its bottomline performance. So a cautious approach would be prudent. It recently hit a high of 18 which is a very stiff resistence for the stock. Only if it crosses that strongly can an uptrend be confirmed in that stock.

Cheers!

Dear Navin,

What do you suggest for JK lakshmi. Should i hold or sell it at current level. What is the expected target for this & time frame.

Also all the best for BB3

Aman

All the very best Navin for Big Boss.... We are all with you.... Thanks a lot for your Service!!!

Superstar said...

Thanks Siva. Aman, cement sector has been in a strong uptrend and JKLakshmi has gained a lot in the last six months. It would be wise to keep a profit lock of 138 now on this stock and targets could be 180-195 in the medium term, if overall market remains bullish.

Cheers!

The market seems to have entered a phase of correction and it can be pretty steep. So all bets are off at this moment and fresh buying should take place only after the correction is over, which may take from a few days to few weeks.

Cheers!
