VALUE PICK - PALRED TECHNOLOGIES LTD - GTS 2 ANSWER


About The Company & Business
Palred Technologies Ltd formerly known as Four Soft Ltd is headquartered in Hyderabad.
The company is promoted by Mr Palem Srikanth Reddy (PSR) a former TDP politician who later formed his own party named Janapalana Party. PSR is also a well known social worker.
PSR was lauded by the local media for fighting against Reliance and the govt. in KG Basin allotment case where he was a petitioner.
 
The company basically into IT Services has last year ventured into Business of E-Commerce via its subsidiary.

The company's E-commerce venture is branded LatestOne.com, company also owns the domain named Deals15.com which it acquired earlier. In IT Services the company is providing E-Commerce website and software solutions.

The Ace Investor - Value Pick
PALRED TECHNOLOGIES LTD.
  NSE: PALRED - BSE: 532521
Company listed on both NSE and BSE was trading at 21 on GTS day and now trading around 24 with a market cap of around 100 crores, Stock went down after touching 52 week high of 29.40 on Friday (24 Apr) due to bad results by Infosys.
 
Promoters hold 46.96% stake in the company, increased from 23.92% in Jun quarter.
 FIIs have increased their stake to 1.89% from 0.44 in Jun quarter. Noted investor Ashish Dhawan owns about 3.44% stake in the company.
 The company is debt and pledge free.
 
LatestOne.com is a portal mainly for smart-phone, mobile and tablet accessories such as Covers and Sleeves. The company has recently added a new section where all type of cables such as (HDMI, VGA, DVI, USB, Adapter, Charger and many more wide-range of cables can be purchased online by the tech-savvy Indians.
 
LatestOne.com has updated the website and recently added more categories such as Mobiles,Tablets,Computers,Laptops and more stuff like computing hardware etc.
This appears to be in the works as new products have not been added yet and the company looks aggressive about its plans which is a positive factor.

Major unlisted players like Flipkart Snapdeal have been cashing on the E-commerce boom in the country by raising huge sums of money from private equity investors. However these companies have been reporting losses due to the wide product portfolio they posses and the marketing and promotion cost they are incuring.
 
As Palred has reported to the exchange, LatestOne.com on April 15th confirmed to sell more than one lakh mobile covers which should be enough to give us an idea about the company's and the website's prospects. Point to note is that LatestOne.com went on air only on Nov/Dec 2014 and selling more than one lakh Mobile Covers in just under 5 months is a great achievement.
 
 LatestOne.com has last week announced a tie-up with IndiaPost for pan-India cash on delivery services which will expand its reach to even rural India.

Almost everyday a new smart-phone is being launched, according to the data by International Data Corporation almost 81 million smartphones were shipped in the year 2014 and smart-phone sales are expected to touch 150 million units mark in 2015. The future growth of the smart-phone market is expected to be huge since there is a large base of mobile services users already and the smart-phone adaption is increasing. There are no IFs and BUTs in the fact that the future of smart-phones and it's proxy product Mobile Accessories which actually is a high-margin business is extremely bright.
 
The company's promoter are good and have been investor friendly. There is a share capital reduction planned up by the company which proposes to reduce the share-capital by 60% which means if you buy 1000 shares of Palred only 400 will remain in your account and the rest will be purchased back by the company at 16.50 and the funds will be credited to your bank account and the market will adjust the price accordingly. I think it should not be a big issue for the investors since there is more into the company's fundamentals than what meets the eye from reported results.
 
Palred Technologies which via its subsidiary is into E-Commerce has not reported its consolidated results for this FY after its E-Commerce venture started. Which is why you see ordinary financial performance and a P/E of 38. The company has responded positively to all our queries and have clarified that they will announce the full year consolidated results this quarter which means great revenue and earnings of unreported e-commerce to be reported all of a sudden? This is quite similar to how Intrasoft suddenly reported a sales boom in Dec quarter and the share prices shot up from Rs 40 to Rs 310 to trade at a P/E of almost 70.

E-Commerce is a sector where there are not too many investment opportunities and that is why they all are trading at rich valuations. Be it the 70 P/E of Intrasoft or the 70 P/E of Info-Edge (Naukri.com/Zomato.com/99Acres.com).
 
The E-Commerce boom is much talked about and it is good to find a opportunity to make a investment in this booming sector. Remember this company which directly is into E-Commerce is also indirectly into E-Commerce by selling web development, interface and softwares to companies which are looking to tap the E-Commerce.
 
There are some rumors too that MTR Foods (Giant in it's field) is planning to launch an online store and has purchased the software and services of Palred Technologies Ltd.
 
Technically too the stock is looking extremely bullish.
 
All in All i feel, this is one great opportunity for everyone who missed Intrasoft rally (40 to 310) and at 24 or even at 40 i would not hesitate to buy Palred Technologies and hold it maybe for some multibagger returns?

  4. company is in the midst of a scheme of arrangement.As per this scheme company's share capital will be reduced .Company will took back 60 % of shares and pay Rs.16.50 for each shares . If I am correct, as per this scheme ,if you have 100 shares , you will left with 40 shares + Rs.990 ( 60*16.5) which is equal to strightaway booking a loss of approx Rs.10 to CMP on each share for 60 shares out of 100 . This will increase the avarage cost of your remaining holding upto that extent . For this scheme of arrangement ,stock may even delist from exchanges for a certain period and re-listing price may depends on the market mood prevailing at that time
    I have seen a reply from one of the stock adviser What is your view on this.

    Thanks

    1. Why should the stock must delist for this? And even the face value is not being changed here.

      Regarding the share capital reduction, It is a non-issue, The straight-away loss claimed by this advisor is non existent since the EPS will multiply due to capital reduction and the price will be adjusted accordingly by the market as it will be on the record-date.

      Someone is making mountain out of a molehill.

  5. Update: Lot of confusion and unwanted discussion is being caused regarding the capital reduction.
    I have covered this aspect already in this post, Even the record-date hasn't come yet and it is not happening right here right now, Even if happens now.. When equity will be reduced the EPS will multiply and it is obvious that market will price it accordingly, Please see the capital reduction done in other companies in the past to check how the market adjusts the price.

  17. Palred shows 82 thousand sellers pending order today but when market depth is opened the seller orders are no where to be found anywhere near CMP, that means huge number of sell orders put at Upper Circuit Price to put pressure on the stock.

    1. Just for info, putting sell orders on a stock in large quantities which you don't hold with intention to cancel it later on and doing it regularly is a crime according to Securities Law in our country.

      Those who are doing in Palred better be careful.
