- Friends today I am taking you through a very interesting stock that is surprisingly missed by many so called Research Analysts. The company is Govind Rubber Ltd. (GRL)
- GRL is part of Siyaram Poddar business group which is into a range of industry segments like Textiles, Agri and Tyre & Tube manufacture.
- GRL manufactures a range of Bi-cycle & Tri-cycle Tyres and Tubes. Interestingly, it is the only listed company in India which manufactures tyres & tubes for Bicycles.
- In fact it is a Global name in `this industry segment.
- Bicycle industry is at nascent stage in India and has a huge potential particularly in view of increasing health & environment consciousness.
- Company management is lead by the Poddar family, also Balkrishna Tyres (BKT) is an associate of GRL.
Financials:
- Market capitalisation of Rs.68 Cr and annual sale of Rs. 410 Cr.
- Promotor stake is more than 50%
- The company has a debt of @ Rs.90 Cr. and the management has resolved to cut the debts in its recent AGM, which needs to be monitored in subsequent quarters.
- The drop in Rubber & Carbon black prices will certainly improve the company's margin & net profit in FY15.
With its unique leadership position in this segment, rising demand for bicycle tyres globally complimented by the company's presence in Europe is going to boost the sales in coming years.
