Ganesh Housing is an Ahmedabad based real estate company which is amongst the largest land bank owners in Ahmedabad. Last year this company consolidated all its land bank into Ganesh Housing by way of merger of five of the promoter group companies into Ganesh Housing.
This company has two wholly owned subsidiaries; and one of them is setting up an integrated township in Ognaj which is on the outskirts of Ahmedabad and the second subsidiary is setting up a mall cum shopping complex in Ahmedabad. Today the company is sitting on a land bank close to about 650 acres. Most of its development is concentrated among four mega projects. This company is making a155 acre SEZ (Special Economic Zone) on the outskirts of Ahmedabad, and a 450 acre Golf Township at a place called Godhavi which is close to Ahmedabad.
Besides these two projects, this company has two other township projects and about 85-90% of its total development is constituted by these four projects. There are few fundamental factors which make us optimistic on the prospects of Ganesh Housing major one being the investment commitments which the state has received in the Vibrant Gujarat Summit would lead to the growth rate in Gujarat to be much higher than other states.Besides this there is a lot of infrastructure development happening close to Ahmedabad; there is a new international airport which has come up then there is a Dholera Port which is close to Ahmedabad which is been developed by the Adani Group.
Besides this, there is a huge SEZ coming up between Dholera and Ahmedabad so the focus of the growth is centred on Ahmedabad. All this would mean migration of people into Gujarat and all this would need creation of more infrastructures to accommodate those people.Given all these fundamental factors Ganesh Housing being one of the largest land bank owners in the country is well positioned to take this opportunity and there are few concerns about the real estate sector which apply to Ganesh Housing also but every person on the street knows about those concerns.
The positive factor however is that companies are finding customers for their projects at lower prices. Ganesh Housing also lowered prices of one of their projects by about 30% and they have got good response for that project. The negatives with regard to the real estate sectors are getting discounted in the stock price with the price having fallen from about a high of Rs 850 to a current price of close to Rs 100. I believe the negatives are already priced in and any positive sentiment emerging for the real estate stocks and will lead to these concerns going away and this may lead to rerating of the stock of Ganesh Housing.A great stock to buy at lower levels.

Small Cap Growth Stock - Viceroy Hotels
Hyderabad is fast turning out to be the hottest location for the hospitality industry with room capacity likely to touch nearly 6500 by 2010. Business travel being the primary growth driver of the hotel industry, the present demand-supply equation in Hyderabad has seen many players either setting up new facilities or scaling up operations of existing facilities.
One among the several 5-Star properties in Hyderabad, Viceroy Hotels has been gearing up to take advantage from this boom. The company recently tied up with Marriott International, one of the foremost hotel brands in the world, which now looks after the management of its facility in Hyderabad.VHL had scaled up its operations during the last few years and in addition, planned two new facilities in Chennai and Bangalore respectively. While the Chennai facility is to have a total of 550 rooms comprising of 350 executive rooms and 200 executive apartments, plans for Bangalore include a 237-room facility.
It raised Rs 460 crore for its Chennai expansion and expects to complete the project by these fiscal.This is funded by SBI and its associates, in addition to contribution by key shareholders of VHL, Rakesh Jhunjunwala and Sonata Investments.It also plans to set up two other hotels under Marriott's economy hotel brand, Courtyard, in Visakhapatnam and Hyderabad.
The hospitality sector in Hyderabad and all over the South is poised for a big leap. Viceroy is well-placed to take advantage of the boom. Though an increase in capacity is on the cards, average room rates are expected to go up to Rs 7000-8,000 by 09-10. Its average room rates are currently very low but the occupancy is close to 70%, which offers a good scope for players in the sector.

Best Stocks To Buy in 2009 - FMCG Stocks
I am republishing an old article posted earlier in December 2008. This has been one of the most visited and read article on Indian Stocks News. This article has been read more than 13000 times since Dec. 08. I thought it's good time to re-visit the past and learn something from it. I would like to invite you to conclude the learning. Put it as comments below the article.

FMCG Stocks are now catching eye of investors for investing as best option in stock market. Analysts and market experts are now putting a ‘buy stock’ recommendation on select FMCG stocks.

FMCG stocks seem to be the dark horse on the bourses. These stocks are now catching the eye of investors. Analysts and market experts are now putting a ‘buy’ recommendations on select FMCG stocks, a move which is not just being considered as a safe ploy but also as a defensive strategy to counter a volatile and uncertain market.
The trend is visible on the bourses where leading FMCG counters have outperformed the overall market during the last few sessions. Take the case of MNC giant Hindustan Unilever (HUL). The company’s stock has made its 52-week high at Rs 267 on December 19, at a time when BSE’s benchmark index, Sensex, was trading under the 10,000-mark (down by over 50 % from its life-time high of 21,000 made in January, 2008).
Similarly, the scrip of another FMCG giant, Godrej Consumer, is currently hovering near its 52-week high of Rs 145. On Wednesday, the stock price closed at Rs 138. Other companies like P&G , Dabur(I) and Colgate Palmolive have also recorded better performance on the bourses. Market analysts who earlier stayed away from FMCG stocks are now taking a fresh look at these rising scrips. Though some reservations about the FMCG sector still persists, the analysts have accepted the “safe” nature of these stocks.
Read: Dabur India - Good Stock From FMCG Sector
“Fall in commodity prices (from crude, vegetable fat and food articles) is the main reason behind the outperforming FMCG sector. Earlier trends indicate that fall in commodity prices will lead to an improvement in profitability of the FMCG companies in the next fiscal. Such a phenomenon will not remain limited to just soaps and detergent companies; even paints, confectionery, food processing and others will get benefit of the fall in commodity prices,” said Ajay Parmar, head, equity, Emkay Global Financial Services. “Those who want to play defensive can invest in such stocks,” he added.
Anand Shah, a research analyst at Angel Broking, is also optimistic about the FMCG sector. Though the markets (at current level) have already discounted the positive impact of the fall in the raw material costs, Shah believes that those who wish to play safe should invest when the prices of the FMCG scrips fall.
“FMCG companies will be able gain cost advantage on raw materials, freight, transport and packaging. The balance sheet of the FMCG companies will definitely gain strength in the coming quarters,” Shah said while cautioning the investors to adopt a stock-specific approach instead of a sector-specific one.
However, not all are convinced. “Now-a-days , smaller players are eating into the business of big MNC players in the FMCG sector. Biggies are therefore losing their market share,” says VVLN Sastry, country head at Firstcall India Equity Advisors. “There is some momentary activity in FMCG stocks, which is a part of the defensive strategy adopted by the traders to restrict the downslide. But this trend will not prevail for a long time,” he added.

Veer Energy and Infrastructure - Small Cap Stock Analysis
One of my readers, Mr. Mayank Asthana, asked for my opinion on Veer energy infrastructures ltd. This stock is in discussions due to it's plans for Rs. 200 crores investments in a project for setting up a windfarm, in renewable energy sector.
If you go by fundamentals, this stock does not have any great fundamentals to cheer for. The current buzz you might be hearing is all about their plan of Rs. 200 Cr. investments in a 1200 Cr. project. Their annual profit is hardly Rs. 2 crores so it remains a big question how they are going to arrange for Rs. 200 Crores investments. They speak about phasewise project execution and target sept. 2010 as the time period for this. So effectively Rs. 200 Crores investment in an years time. For their size of a company it seems highly difficult task to achieve. Only time will be able to tell if they succeed in their QIP plans to raise funds etc.
As far as a to make a decision for buying stocks is concerned, I would like to go back to fundamentals of the company. It has P/E of 25 in present markets, with EPS of 0.88. Company's growth has been good so far considering it's size (a small cap company).
Company is operating in the field of renewable energy infrastructure development. It develops infrastructure for wind farms and sells it to investors. It is a small player in this space. There are rumours about ADAG (Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group) buying this company but they seem to be only rumours.
One may buy stocks of this counter in small quantity to get benefitted if they succeed in their plans. I will not advice to invest more than 5% of anyone's portfolio in this stock.

Long Term Investment Management & Strategy - Does it always Succeed?
I came across a nice article on web which explains how long term investment strategy could fail in current sitution!! If you have invested in index benchmarked mutual funds or investment schemes with such mutual funds, it could fail in long term. This article is from USA based stock market research publication house, but since global economies are more or less integrated with each others and that a small event in big economies can prove trigger (positive or negative) for our markets, this is a good read.
How the mutual fund industry has sold you a bill of goods, how you can get your money back and make a fortune on top of it.
You’ve heard it all before: A serious-sounding actor on TV will tell you that the way to get rich and secure your retirement is to “invest in a well-diversified mutual fund and hold for the long term.” Sure, he has a nice suit and a trustworthy face, but the cold, hard fact is he is lying to you. If you invested in the S&P 500 14 years ago – back when I started in this business – you would have about the same amount of money you have now.
S&P 500: 14-Year Chart

In fact, given the current suckers’ rally, I would hazard a guess that we haven’t seen the worst.
Why are mutual fund companies lying to you? It’s simple. They make money off of “cash under management.” It is in their best interest that you give them your money so they can hold onto it for decades.
Sure, there have been unique periods when stocks went up over long periods of time, such as the years following the Great Depression and World War II. But those days are over, and may never return in our lifetime. Right now, the U.S. market is analogous to what happened in Japan after its massive real estate bubble popped 20 years ago.
If you remember back in 1990, the “Japanese miracle” was on a roll. Japanese companies such as Toyota, Nintendo and Sony were invading the world. There was lots of hand-wringing because Japanese investors bought up Rockefeller Center in New York City.
At the time, real estate had gotten so expensive in Japan (due to crazy mortgage policies) that one square block in Tokyo was worth more than the
entire state of California!
Then, Japan’s real estate bubble broke. The Nikkei 225 index fell from almost 40,000 to 15,000, and has been bouncing like a ball down the stairs ever since.

Japanese experts and politicians did what U.S. experts and politicians are doing now. They cut their interest rates to zero and started spending money.
They built bridges that no one used, and highways that went nowhere. They spent and spent.
According to numbers from Bloomberg, Japan’s debt-to-GDP will be 147% this year. It now must use 65% of its tax revenue just to make interest payments
on its staggering 20 trillion yen in public debt.
Does any of this sound familiar?
The U.S. is exactly one decade behind Japan in its path to self-destruction. And this is Japan we are talking about – a country full of smart, motivated people. These guys make the Lexus. If it can happen there it can happen here.
And it will… heck, it already is… According to John F. McManus in the New American:
Look at what America’s experts have done in response to our nation’s recession. In every detail, they did exactly what Japan has been doing for 17 years. They cut interest rates, launched public works programs, handed out business loans and bailouts, and created stimulus packages, while the Fed manufactured trillions out of thin air. The result: our nation remains mired in our own slowdown. What happened in Japan is being repeated here (in USA).

Stocks To Buy - Hidden Gems - Taneja Aerospace Aviation
Here is another hidden gem from famous equity analyst Ashish Chugh. He discussed this recently on a TV channel. Ashish Chugh is known to identify the companies with hidden intrinsic value of the stock and recommends to buy stocks at early stage. The stock recommendations from him could prove multi-bagger stocks in long run.
If we see the price pattern of this stock, this stock has been primarily range-bound between Rs 30–40 for a long period of time. Promoters picked-up about 5% of the stake in the company they increased the stake by about 5% in the month of November at about Rs 28 and the stock has been primarily range-bound mainly because of the negatives which surround the sector and also the company. Last year there were rumors of a Delhi based infrastructure company wanting to take a stake in their air strip project and the valuations being talked about are very high, and at that time the stock touched a high of about Rs 250–270.
The company has a 250-acre land where they have made an airstrip which is largely unutilized and I see that as an opportunity, the reason that we are getting the stock at a market cap of just about Rs 100 crore is primarily because of the reasons which are mentioned. When things look rosy and everything starts looking good. When they are fresh with orders for aircraft and the value unlocking which people are expecting that airstrip will have that happens and you won’t get the stock for Rs 35-40.
The reason you are getting the stocks at current valuations is only because of the negatives which are surrounding and the good thing is that the promoters themselves have increased their stake at about Rs 28 in the month of November. At that time there was pessimism all around and the stock has also been range bound for a very long period of time and that’s a reason you are getting this stock for Rs 35, when there were rumours of someone big buying that airstrip business and fancy valuations being talked about at that time the stock was not available for Rs 35 and it was available for Rs 250–270. So this is the one for the patient investors who can just sit on the stock and wait for company to unlock the value for the shareholders.

Stocks To Buy - Hidden Gem - Jagatjit Industries
Here is a hidden gem from famous equity analyst Ashish Chugh. He discussed this recently on a TV channel. Ashish Chugh is known to identify the companies with hidden intrinsic value of the stock and recommends to buy stocks at early stage. The stock recommendations from him could prove multi-bagger stocks in long run.
Jagatjit Industries is a 60 year old liquor company famous for Aristocrat brand Whisky. They also had brands like Maltova, etc. which they sold to SmithKline a couple of years back. This company was dragged in problems between the promoters of the group and a wide order in the month of March by CLB, that problem has not been resolved. CLB ordered the company to buy back the shares of other promoter group and they have already brought back the shares which led to reduction in equity from about Rs 52 to about Rs 44 crore. If you look at the valuations of the company, at the current price the market cap of the company is just about Rs 200 crore, the gross of the company is Rs 540 crore and this being a 60 year old company and the market cap just being 50% of gross, the real value of the assets must be much more.
This company has done sales of about Rs 800 crore in the last year, so even if you compare this company with the drop on the basis of sales and brand equity this looks grossly undervalued compared to the peer group.

AXIS-IT&T - Is It A Stock To Buy?
One of my reader asked me if AXIS-IT&T is a stock to buy? Here is my view on this company.
AXIS - IT&T is a leading Engineering Design services provider, with over two decade's experience in delivering cutting-edge customer services to global clients. AXIS - IT&T provides comprehensive Engineering Design and Software Development services to its clients.
To start with recent movement of the stock looking at which many investors would have get lured.

This stock has shooted from 20 levels to 50 levels in hardly a months time. Why?
AXIS IT&T Ltd had announced the financial results for the quarter ended on 30-June-2009. The Net Sales was at Rs.301.02 lacs for quarter ended on 30-June-2009 against Rs.208.92 lacs for the quarter ended on 30-June-2008.
The Net Profit / (Loss) was at (Rs.50.81) lacs for the quarter ended on 30-June-2009 against (Rs.22.55) lacs for the quarter ended on 30-June-2008.
The company has reported an EPS of (Rs.0.25) for the quarter ended on 30-June-2009 against (Rs.0.11) for the quarter ended on 30-June-2008.
It had declared losses in this result and the same has been the rend for company for past few years. It is making losses continuously. Look at the important numbers.
Book value Rs. 8.83 against CMP:53
P/E Ratio 194 !! against insustry standard P/E of 19.
Nothing can justify a P/E of 194 for such a small cap stock. Not even an acquisition news (they acquired some company called Cades digitech) that has come out recently.
This is an operator played stock and I am sure it will cool off very soon since it had run a lot from 20 levels. DO NOT buy stocks of this company at this level. DO NOT enter in this trap at this moment.
I had recommended this stock, coincidentally, perfect an year ago, on 9th September 2008. Read the analysis here: Axis IT&T - Safe stock for investment - Multibagger?
Although the analysis done in this 1 year old article might give you a feeling of justification to current price of stock, but since the dynamics keep changing in the market scenarios and so I would recommend to not to buy stock at the moment. One may wait for a while to get it at right valuations.

Lloyds Steel - Stock Analysis & Recommendation
One of my reader asked me if he can buy Lloyds steel at current level as he heard of a news that steel prices are going to increase in the month of September. So does this news makes Lloyds steel a stock to buy?
Lloyds steel has been continuously a loss making company.
Reported net profit:
Mar 05: 122 Cr
Mar 06: -63 Cr
Mar 07: -68 Cr
Mar 08: -48.5 Cr
Mar 09: -165 Cr
This company has turned from profit making company into a loss making company. With meagre steel price hike you can not expect good price appreciation in stock price. Would you be like to part of a loss making company which is making losses for past 4 years in a row? That too when other steel making companies are making profits.
For past 5 years this stock has been moving in the range of 10 to 20 with two exceptional spikes of reaching it to Rs.30.

The move you are witnessing currently is just a trading move which is moving this stock along with other steel sector stocks. This might move another 5 - 10% ... maye uptop Rs. 12 max. But I would not recommend you to buy Lloyds steel unless you find some strong fundamental signal. It could be a stock to buy only if it shows some fundamental change like reducing losses and ultimately making profits, which looks unlikely in near times.

Where Are Indian Stock Markets Heading?
Where would Indian stock markets are heading from here? BSE SENSEX has been trading rangebound for past three months now. 14500 to 15500 and around has been the range of trading.
Have a look at the BSE SENSEX chart.
If you look at the peaks in the chart, they indicate the lacking streangth in breaching the range mentioned above on the upper side of it.
2 days back I heard Shankar Sharma, famous bear in Indian stock market, speaking on TV about correction in stock markets. He is confident that Indian stock markets are bound to see 10-15% correction in near term.
He mentioned that SENSEX could go to 13000 levels before reaching 17000.
Shankar Sharma's statement is based on performance of world stock markets. World stock markets are riding with demand from chinese markets. The problem is, demand in Chinese markets is depleting eroding the growth.
The current rally in Indian stock markets is more a technical rally and not the fundamental one.
So what does this mean for long term invetors? Should you stay away from stock markets?
It has always been said "every time the markets go down, that is a buying opportunity".
So if markets correct by 10-15% as Shankar Sharma says, be ready to buy stocks at lower prices for long term investment.

OIL India IPO - Ratings From Research & Broking Firms
Oil India IPO: Open and Close Date
The IPO opens on September 7th and closes on closes on September 11th.
Price band of the IPO
The price band of Oil India has been fixed between Rs. 950 and Rs. 1,050.
IPO Grade
CRISIL has graded Oil India 4 out 5, which indicates above average fundamentals.
Oil India is the country’s second largest state run explorer and produces 3.5 million tons oil annually. It is engaged in exploration, development, production and transportation of crude oil and natural gas onshore in India. Oil India has also been accorded the status of Mini Ratna by the Government of India. Just to keep things in perspective though, ONGC, which is also controlled by the government is ten times the size of Oil India.
The IPO is being planned out to issue new shares to the public, but at the same time the government will also sell 10% its own stake to IOC, HPCL, BPCL and IOC.
Various stock research and broking firms have recommended investors to subscribe to the oil india IPO issue.
HDFC Secirities research report says:
OIL is offering shares at a valuation that translates into a EV/2P reserves of $4.1 (at the higher price band) compared to $5.4 for ONGC, $12.8 for Cairn and $7-8 for most international players. Higher production of Oil and Gas going forward, growing accretion to acreage, lower subsidy burden due to soft crude oil prices, high success ratio and operational efficiency, greater use of better technology, upsides from pipeline and downstream business, upside from likely revision in gas APM prices, better financial and return ratios – all this could mean that the difference in valuation attracted by ONGC and Oil could narrow going forward despite a difference in their sizes. The only major risk is of continued softness/fall in crude oil/gas prices. Investors can invest in the issue from a medium term investment perspective.
SKP Securities research report:
In the last 25 years, the energy consumption of the world has increased by more than 70%, bulk of which is met from crude oil. The APAC region has become the largest energy consuming region with a CAGR of 4.8% during the same period. With an excellent track record in the exploration of onshore reserves, successful bidding in NELP rounds so far, strong cash flow, healthy liquidity position and low capital gearing ratio, OIL is on track to achieve its ambitious expansion plans. The issue price band of Rs 950-1050 implies a P/E of 10.57-11.68X on FY09 EPS of Rs 89.90 (on post issue equity). The research firm has recommended to Subscribe to the issue.

Various stock research and broking firms have recommended investors to subscribe to the oil india IPO issue.
HDFC Secirities research report says:
OIL is offering shares at a valuation that translates into a EV/2P reserves of $4.1 (at the higher price band) compared to $5.4 for ONGC, $12.8 for Cairn and $7-8 for most international players. Higher production of Oil and Gas going forward, growing accretion to acreage, lower subsidy burden due to soft crude oil prices, high success ratio and operational efficiency, greater use of better technology, upsides from pipeline and downstream business, upside from likely revision in gas APM prices, better financial and return ratios – all this could mean that the difference in valuation attracted by ONGC and Oil could narrow going forward despite a difference in their sizes. The only major risk is of continued softness/fall in crude oil/gas prices. Investors can invest in the issue from a medium term investment perspective.
