Q: Your other pick is Valecha Engineering and thats currently at about Rs 213 and your target is about Rs 294. Its primarily into the road construction space. How does it compare with the other contenders?
A: Valecha is a slightly out of the box or rather a little different in terms of their business model. The theme of our report by and large, was that we looked at diversification, track record and obviously valuations had to be attractive.
In Valechas case the only thing missing is the diversification part. They are mainly into roads and also into foundation engineering but what is most again striking for Valecha is that valuations are very attractive.
The management has guided on a turnover growth of around 70% for the next two years. We have been slightly more conservative and have estimated around 57% kind of CAGR for next two years and around 70% kind of bottomline growth during the same period.
I think with that kind of growth and with an order book of Rs 800 crore which is fairly large considering that its only Rs 150-160 crore kind of turnover company, there is lot of visibility and lot of this order book will be converted into next two-two and half years.
So Valecha in that sense looks quite good and it also has an investment portfolio in Jyoti Structures, which would be Rs 80 per share of Valecha. We have given a significant discount there and those shares will mostly be kept for their real estate foray that they are planning. They also planned to get into real estate with their new venture, which is Valecha Infrastructures. But we have not factored in any revenues from that account. We will only do that when more clarity on that issue occurs.
Q: So you would not book profits at Rs 294 and you would hold on for that real estate play to kick in?
A: There has not been any formal announcement as yet but even with the valuations that we have given to its core business, there is a fair amount of appreciation left. So I would definitely hold on to that counter.
Thanks and Regards
