MIRC Electronics Limited (MIRC) takes into account comfortable capital structure with low overall gearing and sufficient liquidity cushion available with the company backed by moderate working capital utilization levels. Ratings also derive strength from comprehensive product portfolio spanning over TVs, Washing machines, ACs and microwaves with brand equity presence for more than over three decades as well as experienced management.

MIRC’s deteriorating operational performance in FY19 and Q1FY20 marked by declining total income and profitability, inherent business risk characterized by higher competition in the industry, technology obsolescence risk and operating profit susceptibility to volatile forex rates.
Going forward, MIRC’s ability to improve its scale of operations and profitability in the wake if increasing competition as well as maintain the capital structure with efficient working capital management.

MIRC is promoted by Mr Gulu. L. Mirchandani (Chairman) and Mr Vijay. J. Mansukhani (MD). Promoters of the company have been associated with the consumer durable industry since more than three and half decades. Promoters of the company are supported by professional management team for heading different divisions of the company

TVs and ACs contributed 82% to the revenues in FY19 as compared to 87% in FY18. However, AC and washing machine segments are growing majorly, further mitigating the dependence on one particular product segment. ACs were the major contributor to revenue in FY19 as compared to TVs in FY18.

MIRC has brand recognition in Indian Electronic consumer durable market as “Onida” since 1981. MIRC has a robust network of dealers throughout the country. As on March 31, 2019, MIRC has 3000 dealers/distributors across pan India. Besides the offline channels, the brand “Onida” also has online presence through e- commerce retailers.

MIRC operates in a very competitive industry dominated by large MNCs with global presence. Presence of large number of players and low product switching cost results in low brand loyalty from consumers. Company faces technology obsolescence risk, thus efforts on product innovation and differentiation is needed which in turn further increases cost. Effective marketing strategies for product penetration is necessary to compete in the industry. There is an import threat in domestic consumer durable markets, especially from Chinese competitors. To compete and mitigate the competitive intensity, MIRC has relaunched brand “IGO” with a view to target millennials and will be available on online platform.

The company had earlier envisaged buying out the engineering division of one of its group concerns; however, it has now shelved this acquisition plan.

IDFC BUY @ 35 Target in 1 year Rs. 55



DFC Limited’s (IDFC) good standing and its strong financial flexibility, by virtue of being the main holding company of the IDFC Group. IDFC holds a 100% stake in IDFC Financial Holding Company Limited (IDFC FHCL), which, in turn, holds an equity stake in IDFC First Bank (rated [ICRA]AA+(Stable)/[ICRA]A1+), IDFC Asset Management Company Limited (IDFC AMC), IDFC Securities Limited and IDFC Infrastructure Finance Limited (IDFC IFL; rated [ICRA]AAA(Stable)/[ICRA]A1+). However, as part of its strategy, IDFC plans to divest its stakes in various subsidiaries. While it has already sold the business of IDFC Alternatives, it has signed a definitive agreement with National Investment and Infrastructure Fund II (NIIF II) for the sale of its majority stake in IDFC IFL. The good market value of the company’s holdings in IDFC First Bank1 and the strategic holdings in the unlisted companies of the Group support IDFC’s liquidity profile. This, coupled with investments in mutual funds and cash and cash equivalents of around Rs. 500 crore as on September 30, 2018, provides liquidity cushion. The rating also factors in IDFC’s strong capitalisation levels with a net worth of Rs. 9,775.53 crore, on a standalone basis as on September 30, 2018, with nil borrowings. ICRA, however, takes note of the company’s dependence on dividend income from investee companies (mainly IDFC First Bank and IDFC AMC) as the primary source of income and thus the credit profile of these entities would have a key bearing on the ratings for IDFC. 

Strong market position by virtue of being a key holding company of IDFC Bank – IDFC, through IDFC FHCL (100% subsidiary of IDFC), holds a significant stake in IDFC First Bank (stake of ~40% in the merged entity of IDFC Bank and Capital First Limited). Apart from this, the company has 100% stake in IDFC AMC and IDFC Securities Limited. IDFC recently sold the businesses of IDFC Alternatives. It also entered into a definitive agreement with NIIF II for the sale of its majority stake (81.48% as on September 30, 2018) in IDFC IFL. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals.

Comfortable liquidity – The company has a comfortable liquidity profile given the investments in mutual funds and cash and cash equivalents of around Rs. 500 crore as on September 30, 2018, which provide liquidity cushion. IDFC also has holdings in various unlisted companies (IDFC IFL, IDFC AMC and IDFC Securities). The liquidity is expected to be further supported by the proceeds from the sale of its stake in IDFC IFL. While IDFC also has a shareholding of ~40% in the merged entity of IDFC First Bank, the stake in IDFC First Bank can, however, be diluted to 20% only in October 2020. 
Strong capitalisation and low gearing targets – On a standalone basis, IDFC had a strong net worth of Rs. 9,775.53 crore as on September 30, 2018 with nil borrowings. The strong current capitalisation and low gearing target, going forward, are credit positives. The capitalisation profile of the merged bank (IDFC First Bank) is expected to remain at a comfortable level without any capital requirement in the near to medium term. Hence, no equity infusion would be required from IDFC in the short to medium term. ICRA expects IDFC to maintain prudent capitalisation levels going forward, as well.

GSFC Accumulate at Current Price of 68 and lower Target Rs. 100++ Sureshot.

 Gujarat State Fertilizers and Chemicals
52 Week High is Rs. 118 and this is the lowest price. 
You can accumulate it Now. Target Rs. 100++

Gujarat State Fertilizers & Chemicals Limited (GSFC) is an Indian manufacturer of fertilizers and Industrial Chemicals. GSFC was founded in 1962. Oil and gas discoveries in Bombay High and South Basin triggered the birth of 8 new generation fertilizer plants to fulfill the growing food needs of India.

The company is listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange with the Security Code 500690, and as at Monday 28 September 2014 it had a market capitalisation of Rs 3,030.42 crore.[1] GSFC maintains its headquarters in Vadodara in the state of Gujarat, on the Vadodara-Ahmedabad National Highway.[2] It manufacturers plastics, nylons, fibers, industrial gases and varied chemicals including urea, ammonia, ammonium sulfate, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid & diammonium phosphate, Caprolactam, Malemine, Methanol.[3]

In 1976, GSFC entered into a joint venture with the State Government of Gujarat by setting up a plant in Bharuch which trades as Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizers & Chemicals Limited.

GSFC’s product range includes fertilizer products (manufacturing) like Di-Ammonium Phosphate (DAP), Urea, AS, Ammonium Phosphate Sulphate (APS) and industrial chemical products like Caprolactam, Nylon-6 (N-6), Melamine, Nylon chips, MEK Oxime, etc. Furthermore, GSFC trades in DAP, Methanol, Melamine and other fertilizer as well as Industrial products.

GSFC’s operations are marked by high level of vertical integration across both fertilizers and industrial products division. GSFC meets its ammonia requirements for manufacturing of fertilizers such as urea, AS and APS and few industrial products through captive production. Furthermore, captive production of caprolactam is used for manufacturing N-6. The integrated manufacturing facilities attempt full utilization of available resources.


Total Operating Income (TOI) of GSFC improved by ~35% during FY19 from Rs.6346 crore in FY18 to Rs.8576 crore in FY19 mainly on the back of higher trading income of DAP. PBILDT margin moderated from 10.23% during FY18 to 9.77% during FY19 mainly because of higher trading income; otherwise absolute PBILDT improved from Rs.649 crore in FY18 to Rs.838 crore in FY19. Overall gearing ratio of GSFC remained stable at 0.15x as on March 31, 2019 with stable working capital borrowings. Subsidy receivables decreased marginally from Rs.1,719 crore at FY18 end to Rs.1,658 crore at FY19 end mainly due to release of withheld AS subsidy. Also, its debt coverage indicators marked by interest coverage & Total debt / PBILDT improved during FY19.

Surat Textile Mill buy @ Re. 1 Target Rs. 5


About the Company 
Incorporated in 1945, Surat Textile Mills Limited (STML) is part of the Garden Group (rated CARE D) is engaged in manufacturing of polyester chips (with an installed capacity of 24,500 Metric Tonnes Per Annum- [MTPA]), partially oriented yarn (POY) and polyester filament yarn (PFY) (with an installed capacity of 5000 MTPA). STML’s manufacturing facilities are located in Jolwa village in Palsana Taluka of Surat. STML procures raw material [mainly purified terephthalic acid (PTA), mono-ethylene glycol (MEG)] largely from the domestic suppliers sells its products mainly in the domestic market. 

Key Rating Strengths
Experienced promoters in the textile business: 
STML belongs to the Garden Group that has vast experience in the polyester intermediates and textiles industry. At the helm of its management are the Managing Director, Mr. M. R. Momaya, and CFO Mr. Yogesh Papaiya, who have an established track record of over 3 decades in the textile industry and have helped STML to develop strong business relations with its stakeholders

Modest scale of operations: 
STML is engaged in manufacturing of PET Chips and Partially Oriented Yarn (POY) having a manufacturing capacity of 24,500 MTPA and 5,000 MTPA respectively. STML derives majority of its revenue through supply of PET chips to larger textiles manufacturers who utilise PET chips as a raw material for further processing to manufacture manmade fibres. STML’s 5,000 MTPA yarn manufacturing unit has resumed production in FY18. Resumption of production along with improved sales volume led to 44.58% increase in Total Operating Income to Rs. 203.16 Crore in FY18 from Rs. 140.52 Crore in FY17. However, given weak demand, yarn manufacturing operations were suspended in March 2018. Going forward, ability of STML to maintain its scale of operations in the intensely competitive market is a key rating sensitivity. 

Comfortable gearing lead to comfortable debt coverage indicators: 
Gearing continues to remain comfortable due to minimal leverage and moderate net worth. Overall gearing stood at 0.14 times in FY18 (0.02 times in FY17). The slight increase in gearing level was on account of relatively higher utilisation of cash credit utilisation as on March 31, 2018 which stood at Rs.1.5 Crore as compared to nil in the previous period. Given comfortable gearing levels, debt coverage indicators continue to remain healthy with interest coverage ratio at 16.31 times in FY18 (38.11 times in FY17).
