Hi Superstar,

You are doing a great job by helping retail investers like us. Thank you for that.

Regarding Micro Tech I had a query.

The fundamentals of the company seems to be superb but even then the price seems to be stagnated.
There must be some catch right? otherwise why would no one be interested in by now when the valuations are dirt cheap?
Are there issues with the management? or anything that you know of?
Also whats the target and time frame you are expecting?

Thanks.

Hi Superstar,

Thanks for publishing review on MT.

The fundamentals are great. The stock has been punished by markets for three reasons.

1. In the past there have been some insider trading for which SEBI had put sanctions on some brokers.
2. Promoters had played with options granting themselves cheaper options multiple times, not converting them when prices go down and repeating the same.
3. No rewards to shareholder inspite of having very good growth. Never declared bonus. Dividends did not increase above 20%, infact reduced in 2009 to 10%.

But still fundamentals are pretty good - if the figures can be believed. Now promoters are increasing their holding slowly.

I expect the market to give it lower valuations for some period...but still there is room for rerating till 8-9 PE ratio. Also, growth story is intact and they are expected to report 100+ EPS in 2011. Even if market assigns it a PE of 5-6, we're talking about a 3-4 bagger from here. I hold the stock in small quantity and will continue to hold it.

Superstar said...

Thank you all for your comments and good wishes. I am touched :)
Micro Tech is a good stock to buy for value investors. It gives you great value for money at current price. Long term investors surely have a multi-bagger on their hands.

Wishing all of you a very happy, prosperous & healthy New year.

Cheers!

Try covering Geodesic. I would be surprised if you reject it. I have been with Micro tech for last 4 years and it is good that people have started recognizing it as a good value stock.

Unknown said...

many thanks super star for ur earlier fantastic script: FCS Software. I sold partially to cover up my cost price. Now the remaining I have are in handsome profit. And today came to know that company going to declare bonus on 11th jan. is it a good buy still at 16?

Superstar said...

Hi everyone, thank you all for your comments. Ambrish, the good news keeps coming on FCS Software....a bonus news could take the stock to touch 20 levels also....who knows. FCS has quadrupled from the price I gave a buy call at & has been a star performer. But I would have booked my profits now or on another up-circuit in FCS and switched to Micro Tech instead. Micro Tech has just begun its journey, while FCS might be near the fag end for the time being. I may be wrong, but I would have bought Micro Tech now with the profits made in FCS.

Cheers!

Niranjan Shetty said...

Hi Superstar,

This is my 3rd comment and I am a little dissapointed that I havent got any reply from you on my queries. I understand u r busy.

Regarding Microtech, I have heard from some brokers that
Promoters are buying the stocks and inflating the price so that they can exit at a higher rate. Is this info true? please share your thoughts on this.

Looking forward to your reply.

Thanks,
Niranjan

Superstar said...

Niranjan,

Thanks for writing here, and you understand correctly, it's impossible for me to individually reply to every query. So I have replied collectively to everyone.

If you have heard that the Promoters of Micro Tech are buying shares of their own company, then isn't that good news? When promoters buy shares of their own company, it is usually an indication of their confidence in their own company. So what are you cribbing about. Doesn't everyone buy shares so that they can exit later at a higher price? Don't you? Everyone is in the market to make profits.

Cheers!

Hi Naveen,

Can Micro Tech be bought at current levels of 207 ?

And till what level or time frame can Bihar tubes be held?

Thanks And Regards

Superstar said...

Hi Vini,

Micro Tech has gained 45% in a matter of just about two weeks since I gave a buy call on it. After such a steep rise corrections are natural and healthy also. It's always good to book some profits from time to time, but long term investors can buy on dips.

Bihar Tubes too has gained exactly 70% since I gave a buy call on it in a very short span of time. While in the long run, investors can still make more gains, it's always good to book some profits after such a steep rise.

Cheers!
