Thomas Cook – Are sum of parts greater than M-cap

Below is a post based an edited note to Insider Subscribers

***

Thomas Cook (TC) now is a mini holding company which has multiple lines of businesses (a company which has 53 subsidiaries ) – A business analyst’s nightmare

 

Investment in TC is investment in Prem Watsa who has tremendous record of long term wealth creation, although I was not happy when he started a new fund in 2015 to invest in India in parallel to TC, cause at time of acquiring TC he commented that all new investments in India will be via TC however in his recent letter to shareholders he has made it clear that only related business (read travel and hospitality) will be acquired by TC rest would go to Fairfax India as much as possible

Over time Fairfax Financial would prefer to have all of its Indian investments (as far as possible) in Fairfax India with the exception of Thomas Cook and its subsidiaries, Quantum Advisors and ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company Limited.

The management had said that they would not prefer one over another however this year’s chairman’s letter made it clear that non travel business would go Fairfax India way,This fact is … Read the rest

Canfin homes – The out performance continues

Previously I wrote on Canfin homes here

The sustained outperformance was noticed when I was reviewing GRUH and REPCO a few days back

****

GRUH Finance and REPCO homes both had decent year however when compared with Canfin homes there was performance was little subdued, which you will see in detail below

The top line (Loan book growth) was good for both companies including loan mix

Bottom line growth has clearly tapered down to 20s from 30s seen in FY12-14 years, both firms exercised good control on operational costs thereby continuing to reduce cost to income (C/I) ratio , GRUH following HDFC is having industry leading C/I ratio

On Contrary CanFin homes had an another fantastic year

Lending practices were tight with minimal net NPA

GRUH’s return metrics remain best in class however others are closely catching up

Overall both companies had a very decent year. But clearly, now 3 years in a row CanFin homes have outdone its fancied peers

Future variables to track

  • Loan book growth
  • Net NPA

Forecasting and Reality – Review of Suven Life sciences

I have previously written by Suven Life Science here and here

Reading and learning about Suven Life sciences has been huge learning curve, it has taught me few things

  • Forecasting in excel and actual numbers in real world are two different things, so one should not take their excel skills seriously. If you need a proof just refer my revenue and bottom-line prediction from last few years for Suven
  • Drug discovery is a long , hard and uncertain process and putting your odds is as good as throwing a dice. There are far few too many variables to model an outcome
  • Entrepreneurship is a long term commitment and as Investors, we are so lucky to jump the ship after a poor quarter, not the promoter who many times has put his/her everything on line

Why we get fat and what can we do about it ?

This article is not about investing love reading them go here.

Why I am writing on health on a financial blog – Cause true wealth is of no use without great health

Most of what I am writing below is my interpretation of a book by Gary Taubes Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About It . It’s a must read for breaking myths and our long held untrue beliefs.

What is the first thing that people tell us when they see us becoming fat?

Everyone will tell us to get our running shoes out and start burning those excessive calories. It’s indeed natural to think whatever we have gained can be burned off with increased physical activity.

Incorrect

The science tells us that obesity is ultimately the result of a hormonal imbalance, not a caloric one

as we very likely will work up an appetite

Is it true that we can increase our expenditure of calories, burn an extra 150 calories a day, say, or go from being sedentary to active or from active to very active, without changing our diet—without eating more—and without maybe decreasing the amount of energy we expend in the hours between our

How I missed Canfin Homes

There is a beautiful passage in Steven Johnson’s Where Good Ideas come from

“Good ideas are like the neo nurture device. They are, inevitably constrained by the parts and skills that surround them. We have a natural tendency to romanticize breakthrough innovations, imagining momentous ideas transcending their surroundings…… We like to think of our ideas as $40,000 incubators direct from factory, but in reality they have been cobbled together with spare parts that happened to be sitting in the garage.”

This passage has a striking resemblance to how I look for new companies to invest, trying hard to find a hidden jewel in an obscure corner outside BSE 500 without realizing that many of them are tangled in many spreadsheets stored on my PC

Let me run you past one such case last year I was reviewing one of my existing positions GRUH Finance and unlike previous years I wanted to review GRUH not only in comparison to itself but to its peers – REPCO and Canfin homes. The reason for picking these two Housing Finance Companies  was

  • I also had REPCO in my portfolio so I will kill two reviews in a single seating 🙂
  • Loan book size
