STOCK WATCH
A reputed analyst is quite bullish on Shah Alloys. The company has reported encouraging numbers for the Sept.’04 quarter with a top-line growth of 22 per cent and the bottom-line growth of 45 per cent. For the full year FY05, the company could post an EPS of more than Rs.35 and its share price is expected to shoot up substantially in future.
Although sales were down again this quarter for Murli Agro Products, its operating profit was up 24 per cent and it maintained a NP of Rs. 2.30 cr. recording an EPS of Rs. 3.30 for Q2FY05. Also, its paper division is reported to be doing well and the company is expected to report an EPS of Rs.12 for FY05. A good medium term bet.
Garware Polyester appears the best bet from the packaging sector. For H1FY05 ending Sept.’04, its sales grew by 21 per cent whereas NP increased by 29 per cent in spite of higher tax provisioning. For FY05, it could report an EPS of Rs.12. A good buy.
Despite the cut throat competition and price wars leading to worries about its operating profit, Videocon International continues to post robust numbers quarter after quarter. Short-term traders can accumulate with a price target of Rs. 65.
Some market-men feel that Varun Shipping can turn out to be a dark horse in the Shipping sector as it has potential to post an EPS of Rs 6 on its expanded equity of Rs.108 cr. They also predict a re-rating of the scrip once it gets listed on the Singapore Stock Exchange.
