VULCAN ENGINEERS LTD - A POTENTIAL MULTIBAGGER

 

Be it Electricity or Petroleum products ,cost of energy resources are increasing year after year and this trend is expected to continue in future.So ‘Energy saving ‘ is the buzz word in corporate India especially in power/fuel intensive industries.On this back ground , companies working for implementing Eco friendly  energy saving technologies catching special attention. VULCAN ENGINEERS LIMITED(VEL) is a small company specializing  in design, engineering, construction and erection of kilns, process lines and furnaces for the steel industry.In India ,the size of steel industry is very large hence the scope too.Vulcan Engineering is originally incorporated in 1963,but its performance was poor mainly due to working capital deficiencies and its inability to move with technological changes.In 2010 this company was taken over by Italy based Terruzzi Fercalx Group (TFG) and now this foreign promoters holding 58% stake.In October 2011,company allotted another 13,10,000 Equity Shares of Rs. 10.00 each at a premium of Rs. 36.50 per equity share on preferential basis to SocietaItaliana Per le Imprese All' Estero - SIMEST SpA ('SIMEST') Italy which constitute 14% of the total equity.SIMEST is an agency formed by Italian goverment to promote italian business in foreign countries.The present promoter Terruzzi Group is in existence from 1897 and having many niche patented designs for  industries like Glass,Aircrafts,Steel,Pharmaceutical,Cement ,Food,Rubber ..etc and is well known for its energy efficient eco friendly designs and execution capabilities.TFG is also concentrating in Gasification technology which is for generating power out of waste.Under the old management , due to lack of sufficient working capital Vulcan Engineering executed the limited available orders through job work basis.But now under the new management company is working to set up its own fabrication facilities which is expected to ready by next 3-6 months.VEL is currently working on few projects for  Visakhapatnam Steel Plant and Neelachal Ispat.It is a fact that company  not reported any major order win in recent past . But the successful execution of the existing orders may turn as a testimony for the efficiency of new management and work as ‘reference projects’ for further order wins.Share price of VEL moved sharply after last quarter turnaround performance and now  trading around Rs.45/- which is close to last preferential offer price.If company can repeat at least the last quarter performance in March qtr ,it may move bit more and further order wins if any  may lift it to higher levels.Considering the potential of the industry ,foreign parents niche offerings and  vast experience, VULCAN ENGINEERS may turn as a multibagger in long term.CMP is Rs.44/-

CLARIS LIFESCIENCES - RE-RATING ON CARDS ?

We have discussed about CLARIS LIFE SCIENCES earlier and mentioned that the history of its promoters ( related with Core Healthcare issue )as one of the big negative factor.During the last one year some positives happened for Claris. First one is the approval of the Medicines and Healthcare Product Regulatory Agency (MHRA-UK) which enables the company to relaunch its Bag Products in European Union. EU is the second largest market for injectable products.Its Ahmadabad facility is also expecting positive outcome from the recent inspection of USFDA.Both these approvals will help the company to improve its sales.Another factor is the possibility of a re-rating in Parenteral manufacturers after the acquisition of Ahlcon Parenterals by the German healthcare products major B Braun at a valuation of Rs.331 Cr which is at 23x its trailing EBITDA and over 57x its trailing net profit.Third point is the recent entry of some institutional investors and individual investors with repute ,in this company.Morgan Stanley recently bought 5 lac shares of Claris @ Rs.155.50/- and Shivanand Shankar Manekar bought 7 lac shares@Rs.140/-. If there is no negative surprise from recent  USFDA authoritie's visit  and good standard of corporate governance by the company may help it to re-rate in medium to long term .CMP is Rs.158/-
