Am trying to see what is the free cash flow.<br /><br />On your point on ROE vs PE - I am more comfortable saying that if ROE is say 15 (higher than risk free rate), then the business is probably worth more than book value. If ROE was consistently say over 25, then I would think that it shd trade at much more than book. This is just my way of a sanity check and not a way to arrive at a valuation.<br /><br />Rgds<br />SajanUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15038090384684955065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3120517700412488632.post-6664001549041369062009-07-15T06:21:51.825-07:002009-07-15T06:21:51.825-07:00Hi Sajan

Part of this is driven by the fact that the last 2 years has been high in terms of capex expansion. I would expect ROE to improves once the capex slows down. Also last year they got hit by exchange losses. <br /><br />2) The working capital is bcos printing is a 90 days payment cycle. On the raw material side companies typically get better discounts on bulk & cash down payments. <br /><br />3) Your third point is a good point. What you are stating is right that printing is a high capex, low ROE business. What I like about Repro is that they are moving up the value chain and working on a process outsourcing model where the value add is much higher and hence the resultant margins. <br /><br />Also it is critical to equate the ROE levels to the P/E that u r paying for the stock. So Repro was 10-15 ROE stock available at a PE of 15-20 I wouldn't look at it. The stock is available at 6-7 PE which is within my comfort zone.<br /><br />Also they have managed to build a nice niche in the international education market which is a natural hedge against economic cycles. <br /><br />Cheers <br /><br />NinadNinad Kunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14275940021296930028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3120517700412488632.post-10268727430188598642009-07-13T20:52:30.645-07:002009-07-13T20:52:30.645-07:00Ninad

Since ROE is not that great, not sure if growth is value creating.<br /><br />Would like to know your views.<br /><br />Rgds<br />SajanUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15038090384684955065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3120517700412488632.post-5293725019156495352008-11-25T21:54:00.000-08:002008-11-25T21:54:00.000-08:00Hi Man4urheartFor me a move from 70 to 180 is fair...Hi Man4urheart<BR/><BR/>For me a move from 70 to 180 is fairly good move. Thats nearly 150%return on a two year time horizon. To me that is a fair return expectation. <BR/><BR/>On the future plans of the company, the reason the company attracted me was the focus on the print process outsourcing model that they have developed over the last few years and the focus on childrens books for World bank funded programs. <BR/><BR/>I dont see the slowdown affecting this segment and there would increased business opportunities. Also the depreciating rupee will be a advantage to the company. <BR/><BR/>Cheers <BR/><BR/>NinadNinad Kunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14275940021296930028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3120517700412488632.post-59292878574557460542008-11-25T05:19:00.000-08:002008-11-25T05:19:00.000-08:00I read through annual report of this stock and als...I read through annual report of this stock and also had a look at its competetors.<BR/><BR/>You have done a thorough analysis!<BR/><BR/>But did you notice price has gone no where in last 3-4 years! it is stuck in a range of 70 - 180!<BR/><BR/>It never acheived its peak of 300 of year 2006!<BR/><BR/>Does company have any agressive plans for future or earnings going to stay like this?Elliot Wave Indiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04044473486447560505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3120517700412488632.post-52510227059944470642008-11-07T08:52:00.000-08:002008-11-07T08:52:00.000-08:00You have given a correct perspective for this Indi...You have given a correct perspective for this <A HREF="http://www.indian-share-tips.com/" REL="nofollow">Indian stock</A> and readers will benefit from the information.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
