Potential GOLDMINE : K Sera Sera Productions UPDATE

K Sera Sera Productions has just released its results, and they are very good. The company has posted an EPS of 2.03 for Sept qtr. Half Year EPS already at 3.24. With annualized EPS of 6.5, this share is trading at a ridiculously cheap PE ratio of just 2. No other media company is available at such a cheap PE ratio. Average PE ratios of most media companies range from 15-30. Even if we give a conservative PE ratio of 10 to it, then the stock price should be at 65 (6.5x10=65).

Apart from the stupendous results, the company has also announced the following along with its results:

1.K Sera Sera Miniplex Pvt Ltd (a wholly owned subsidiary of K Sera Sera) has successfully tied its presence for miniplex theatres in 60 districts with 128 screens across India.

2.K Sera Sera Technologies Pvt Ltd (a wholly owned subsidiary) after successfully developing its mastering software is now conducting trial runs and would be commercially launching the technology under the brand name 'skycinex' in near future. Further, the company intends to convert about 3000 existing cinemas in India into 'skycinex' technology within a span of 3 years.

3.K Sera Sera Productions FZE, Dubai (a wholly owned subsidiary) announced the successful establishment of its wholly owned Australian company under the name of K Sera Sera Holdings Pty Ltd. (ACN No. 146 219 865). The main objects of this new subsidiary inter-alia are mining, oil and gas, natural resources and acquisition on a global platform.

4.K Sera Sera Box Office Pvt Ltd. (wholly owned subsidiary) is releasing its forthcoming film titled, '332 Mumbai To India' on 19th November, 2010.

5.K Sera Sera Productions FZE, Dubai (wholly owned subsidiary) have planned the launch of its B2C online shopping portal, 'kbazzar.com' in early November, 2010. This shopping portal will host approximately 10 million products ranging from books to cars.

6.Since the company is now a diversified entity with presence in various sectors, it is prudent to change the name in line with the new image. Appropriate steps are being taken for the same.

In light of the above stated corporate developments in K Sera Sera, the stock is a potential GOLDMINE. I would ACCUMULATE.

Hot Pick : ALOK INDUSTRIES BSE CODE : 521070 NSE CODE : ALOKTEXT

Time to re-visit Alok Industries. Last year I had recommended the stock at the price of 13.60 with an initial target of 25, which was immediately met. Currently the stock is quoting very cheap at around 21.60 levels. Book Value itself is 34.48 (March,2010) Source : http://www.moneycontrol.com/financials/alokindustries/balance-sheet/AI54

Not only is this stock trading at very low PE levels, technically also it looks ripe for a breakout after a long consolidation. The management is looking to reduce its debt levels and has aggressive growth plans. Alok Industries is a fully integrated textile company and is amongst India’s largest textile manufacturers. It has state of the art manufacturing facilities and boasts of the highest quality standards.

This stock is a potential multi-bagger for seasoned investors.

Market at Inflection point

Hi friends,

The Markets are currently poised at an Inflection point at present levels of 5475-5500 (Nifty). An immediate Upside or downside of around 700 points may be in the offing. The view on Indian stock markets is broadly bullish so the chances are high that the breakout will be on an upside. Mid-Small caps with good fundamentals which have relatively underperformed the market in the last six months or so may come in the limelight. Very fast gains can be made in the next rally which can happen soon. My view on SHRI LAKSHMI COTSYN is ACCUMULATE. It is a definite MULTIBAGGER STOCK in the long term.

Cheers!

The company imports chassis from reputed international firms like Ford Motor and General Motors and then fabricates indigenously at its plant. SLCL plans to make around 300-400 vehicles a year and expects a turnover of Rs 150 cr in the first year of its operation.

The company currently is in talks with Indian paramilitary forces and also some high-value customers in India, Europe and the Middle-East who want their vehicles to be armored with Level-B7 protection with bullet, mine and bomb-proof accessories. The armoring could cost anywhere between Rs 50 lakh to over Rs 1 crore, depending upon the accessories embedded in the vehicle.

Dr. M. P Agarwal, CMD, Shri Lakshmi Cotsyn Limited said in a recorded interview: “While presenting the Union Budget Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee allocated $28 billion for defense which is the highest ever allocation for the defense sector.

The order flow is expected to give significant boost to our commercial sales.” Dr Agarwal added.

At cmp of 140, the Stock is trading at a mouth-watering PE of just 2.5!! The Book Value of Shri Lakshmi Cotsyn Ltd. in June, 2009 itself was Rs. 175.33 (source: moneycontrol).

The company's business prospects are excellent and it has shown a growth of 63% in the last quarter as compared to the same quarter in the preceding year. The Promoters have increased their shareholding in the company from 43.31% in March, 2009 to 47.91% in March, 2010. To conclude, this stock is an excellent Investment Opportunity.

Hot Pick : Prithvi Information Solutions Ltd. Bse Code : 532675

Prithvi Information Solutions is a leading Technology solutions provider involved in the domains of technology outsourcing, process outsourcing, and intelligence solutions and networking solutions. The company aims to be a complete solutions provider and not just a plain vanilla software company. Founded in 1998, Prithvi has offices in USA, Netherlands, Middle East, Singapore and India. It is headquartered in Hyderabad, India. The company is ranked as the 12th largest IT service exporter in India in FY 2008-09 by NASSCOM. Ranked among Deloitte Technology Fast 500 Asia Pacific 2009. Prithvi's global network of development centers and sales offices are in Europe, Middle East and Asia Pacific. Their solutions are particularly advanced and powerful for these vertical markets: Healthcare, Retail, BFSI and Telecom. See the company website: http://www.prithvisolutions.com

The Promoters hold around 33% stake in the company as of Sept, 09 and I reckon the holdings of the promoter and FIIs may have gone up during the last couple of months. The half year EPS of Prithvi for the current FY2009-2010 is already 19.17, at current market price, the stock is trading at a dirt cheap PE of around 3 only. The Book Value of the share is around Rs.250 and not so long ago, Lehman Bros. had given a valuation of Rs.469 per share to Prithvi, before the global melt-down happened and LB exited the stock. The stock has seen highs of around 460 in April, 2006, from where it has fallen to the current lows. There were some issues with the management in the past, but if they come clean with the audited results soon, this stock is a potential multi-bagger. Long term investors with some risk appetite can hope to make substantial gains in this stock.

Cheers!
