Valuing the stocks using different models

Slide2

Key takeaways

If we look at cash basis valuation of the company it is available at 10% discount to market price

If we look at sustained earnings perspective the stock is available at 30% discount to market price

However if we take past earnings as basis, the stock seems to very expensive. Therefore this stock is not correct for defensive investors.

Investors who are willing to pay for future growth are likely to put small portion of their portfolio on this.

If the company doesn’t maintain high growth rates there is a high probability that stock price will start going south. We bought with 6-12 month perspective. With a review after 12 months.

Some numbers for crunchers

– Sales have been growing at CAGR of 25.5%

– Profit growing at 10%

–  FCF growing at 38%
