(Click here for old post on value investing)Recently, a young student was discussing business valuation with me. The young fellow was quite intrigued by the business valuation models particularly DCF. He asked me about my preferred model for valuation and I told him that in my view these valuation models are good for having a theoretical viewpoint and conceptual framework but these are very primitive methods and not practical most of the time in the real world. So we need much better valuation theory/methods which can stand on its feet during the evaluation process.I know many hardcore Value investing followers…

Stocks covered in this study: GIC RE and Cholamandalam financial holdings LtdDear all, this study is mainly about the dynamics and factors affecting and governing the growth of insurance sector and not about any particular insurance stock. I have tried to list out the factors affecting the functioning and growth of this one of the most complex sector. But insurance sector (General insurance in particular) is going to see the huge growth for next 10-15 years in India and I feel this is going to be one of the sectors to produce future multibaggers. The growth and performance we have…

Dear All, I am receiving regular queries about the next post as it is almost one and half month since my last post. Actually these days not being able to post as I am busy in some work so i will post as soon as i am free. Further, I have been receiving requests for a long time to start some initiative related to learning/education part of stock analysis and research. It is really heartening to see that these days people want to learn about the fundamental analysis. They are not that enthusiastic about short term trading as people these…

I am just putting a short note on NIIT as I think it may have a run very soon. So due to lack of time I am just touching some of the most relevant points and will share the detailed study at some other time. First time, I advised NIIT at this blog in 2015 at 39 (Click here) and now at 120 I think it is still a great buy. Off late, i am buying it regularly from 80 levels and picked last week at 100. People still consider NIIT as an IT education firm offering IT courses and…

Dear All, today my plan was to calculate the expected value of MHIL for tomorrow's listing. But got trapped in some work in the evening and could only devote some half an hour on this. (click here for earlier post on Max group stocks) Earlier, deal in Sep-2018 valued both erstwhile MHIL and Radiant at 7242 cr but they have vastly improved their performance after that period...some 50%-60% improvement in EBITDA levels due to synergy and other cost cutting measures. Also there is some 10 days impact on EBITDA levels due to covid lockdown in Mar-2020. Their combined EBITDA in…

In my last post on Healthcare Global enterprise (Click here) i forgot to cover the valuation exercise of Strand life sciences in the final chapter on Financial analysis of HCG. One reader pointed this out in the comment section. So i have updated this aspect in that article. Further some readers have put the query as to why we assign high valuation multiples to book value for some stocks and not for others. So i have also added a short note on this along with some other changes in that chapter. So i am reproducing the updated chapter here (updates…

Healthcare Global Enterprises Ltd (CMP 130 Market Cap 1600 cr) Data is God. I usually say these words and recently one friend asked me whether my emphasis was on quantum of Data. But I told him that quantum is more about linear flow or one dimensionality but God is multi-dimensional. So what I see when I say “Data is God” is the ACCESS to the data. Like, we humans have access to 3D world and so all our experiences and interpretations are impacted (or burdened) by this fact (or illusions). We have very limited access to the universal Data and…

Dear All, Clariant chemicals has just performed as per our expectations and given great returns so far keeping in view in the tough market situation. Congratulations to all those who had picked it when it was lying low in a corner. Clariant was advised around 270 in Nov-2019 (click here) and (here) for earlier posts on it.

In Nov-19 when we entered, it was a special condition stock as it was…
